House (8pm, Fox) - House tries to avoid Cuddy's birthday dinner because her opinionated mother (Candice Bergen, left) will be there. I can't wait for this. Bergen is scheduled to appear in a multiple-episode arc.

The Bachelor (8pm, ABC) - Emily, the former fiance of late NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, finally tells the girls in the house about her tragic past.

Piers Morgan Tonight (9pm, CNN) - The first show from the "Larry King Live" replacement, which is hosted by TV personality Piers Morgan. Morgan's first guest is Oprah Winfrey.

Being Human (9pm, Syfy) - The first episode in a new series that follows three supernatural beings who try to live like humans. It's a remake of a very popular British series. See our review.

Harry's Law (10pm, NBC) - Kathy Bates stars in a quirky new legal drama from David E. Kelley (is there any other kind of David E. Kelley drama?). Bates plays a once-successful patent attorney named Harriet Korn, who is fired and decides to start over with her own practice. She opens an office in an abandoned shoe store in a rough section of Cincinnati and in her first case, defends a troubled young man (Aml Ameen) facing his third drug offense. Nate Corddry joins the firm as another attorney and Brittany Snow plays the secretary. We didn't get a copy to preview, but the buzz is "meh." We like David E. Kelley and Kathy Bates, so we're giving it a shot.

Skins (10pm, MTV) - In yet another American adaptation of a British show, this edgy new series is aimed at teens. Tonight, Tony offers to help Stanley lose his virginity. Should your teens watch? Adrienne helps you answer that question.

NBC's mid-season schedule has a little Hmm... ("Harry's Law") and a dash of Huh?!? ("The Cape").

"The Cape" may surprise us all, but it looks downright silly. A cop is framed for a crime and disappears, presumed dead by his family and coworkers. He then takes on the identity of a comic book hero to fight crime anonymously. Okaaaaay... "Harry's Law" is another legal drama from David E. Kelley. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of his shows ("Boston Legal," "Private Practice," "Ally McBeal") and this one could be good -- it has Kathy Bates, after all. Kelley isn't afraid to build shows around older actors ("Boston Legal" starred William Shatner and Candice Bergen) and Bates looks good as a burned out, hot shot patent lawyer who starts over as a defense attorney. This feels like a show I will like, but one I maybe shouldn't get attached to. (VIDEOS BELOW)
