Raising Hope (8pm, Fox) - Sabrina is arrested at a protest for civil disobedience, but her two-week sentence in jail is made even worse by a prison attendant name Rikki (Katy Perry, right) who claims they're old friends.
I Hate My Teenage Daughter (8:30pm, Fox) - I thought this got canceled, but I guess it was just resting because it's back after a break. Tonight, Annie (Jaime Pressly) tries to set a good example for her slack daughter by returning to school at a local community college. A much better bet at 8:30 would be ...
Cougar Town (8:30pm, ABC) - Bobby falls for Travis' photographer professor (Sarah Chalke, "Scrubs") and Laurie begins a romance via Twitter with a soldier in Iraq. This episode was directed by Courtney Cox.
Jane By Design (9pm, ABC Family) - In the first season finale, Jane prepares for Fashion Week but she may have to bail on her coworkers since Ben knows about her secret.
Breaking In (9:30pm, Fox) - In the Season 2 premiere, Oz has to sell Contra Security, but Cameron, Cash and the gang aren't sure what to make of the unhinged new boss (Megan Mullally).
Southland (10pm, TNT) - Lydia and Ruben probe the death of a nanny and the children who were under her care are missing. Also, John corners Tang about coming free about last week's shooting.
Justified (10pm, FX) - A shocking murder puts Raylan in a very tight spot and forces him to face past mistakes. Meanwhile, Boyd clashes with Harlan's corrupt sheriff.
adulthood.
Before I went to bed last night,
Fox will not be picking up more episodes of "Human Target" or "Breaking In."
Modern Family (9pm, ABC) - Skeletons are out of the closet when Mitchell and Cameron covertly evaluate the family in search of potential legal guardians for Lily. They aren't exactly impressed with the parenting they observe: Jay using "tough love" with Manny, and Claire secretly taking Luke to a child psychologist. NOTE: All of the ABC sitcoms are new tonight and run 8 - 11 p.m. 'Cougar Town' is back in their normal 9:30 time slot and there are two new episodes of the very good 'Happy Endings' starting at 10 p.m.
Happy Endings (9:30pm, ABC) - A new sitcom about the complications that arise among a group of friends after a seemingly perfect couple in the group breaks up in a really ugly, public way. Do you take sides? Does the group survive? In tonight's pilot, which has some legitimately funny moments, Alex (Elisha Cuthbert, '24') leaves fiance Dave (Zachary Knighton, 'FlashForward') at the altar for a bare-chested guy on rollerblades. When the friends find the jilted groom at home surrounded by couples' wedding gifts, making gin smoothies, crying, and singing along to "Closer to Fine," I laughed out loud. I also enjoyed the various meltdowns at Penny's birthday party (Casey Wilson, 'Saturday Night Live'). Rounding out the eclectic sitcom cast is the requisite gay friend (Adam Pally), who "looks like Paul Rudd if Paul Rudd gave up" (according to his friend Jane), and an interracial married couple played by Damon Wayans Jr. and Eliza Coupe. There's a second episode at 10pm. It's not groundbreaking, but it has a welcome 'Samantha Who?' vibe and it's definitely worth checking out.
TV hasn't been very kind to Christian Slater, but I think with "Breaking In" (Fox, 9:30 tonight) he's getting out of his slump.
Breaking In (9:30pm, Fox) - The premiere of a promising new comedy about a high-tech security firm that protects its clients by exposing their vulnerabilities. Christian Slater, in this third attempt at a successful TV series, plays the boss, who blackmails a perpetual college student/computer hacker (Bret Harrison) to be his intern. This is Slater's first shot at a sitcom, and he certainly can't ask for a better lead-in. Executive produced by Adam Sandler. Read our
