One Tree Hill (8pm, CW) - The ninth and final season opens with Brooke adapting to family life with Julian and her new brood, and Clay and Quinn facing a puzzling complication.

Are You There, Chelsea? (8:30pm, NBC) - The premiere of a confusing new series about a sassy young bar worker, Chelsea Newman, and her group of twentysomething pals. The book is inspired by Chelsea Handler's book, "Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea," but the Chelsea character is played by Laura Prepon. Adding to the confusion, Chelsea Handler, wearing a brunette wig, plays Chelsea's sister. So it's a show about Chelsea Handler starring Chelsea Handler, but Chelsea doesn't play Chelsea. Got it? Also, don't expect much.

People's Choice Awards (9pm, CBS) - Kaley Cuoco hosts this awards show, which recognizes fan favorites in movies, TV and music. Faith Hill and Demi Lovato perform.

Nova: Bombing Hitler's Dams (9pm, UNC-TV) - The story of a 1943 raid that employed a revolutionary bouncing bomb to destroy its targets: two gigantic dams in Germany's industrial heartland.

I Cloned My Pet (9pm, TLC) - A look at the social, scientific and financial ramifications of pet cloning. Okay, I understand the impulse, people. But just look at the over-crowded shelters!

Happy Endings (9:30pm, ABC) - Dave's father (Michael McKean) visits and brings along his new girlfriend (Megan Mullally), who just happens to be Penny's mother. Penny is happy for her mom but Dave is less than thrilled. Also, Alex buys a chatty, potty-mouthed parrot to keep her company at the story, and then suspects the Chinese restaurant next door to be a front for a brothel.

Face Off (10pm, Syfy) - Fourteen aspiring makeup artists face off the Season 2 premiere, which has them re-imagining characters from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

The Middle (8pm, ABC) - Frankie and Mike try to regain control of the Heck family household, but the kids won't go down easy. All of the ABC sitcoms are new tonight.

Human Target (8pm, Fox) - Two new back-to-back episodes tonight. In the first, a rift develops between Ilsa and Chance  when his former girlfriend asks him to rescue a colleague who was kidnapped by a South American despot. Then, an inept private eye (Tony Hale) may have blown his last case unless Winston, Guerrero and Ames can save him.
 
Law & Order: SVU (9pm, NBC) - This is either a two-hour episode or two back-to-back episodes. I do know that the case (or one of the cases) involves a gambling ring and an abused wife, played by Drea de Matteo ("Sopranos").

People's Choice Awards (9pm, CBS) - Queen Latifah hosts the worst awards show of the year.

Top Chef: All-Stars (10pm, Bravo) - In a series first, head judge Tom Colicchio (right) enters the competition, challenging the chefs to beat his time in creating a dish. Then the contestants head to down to Chinatown to serve up dim sum for locals (I love the comment from a diner in the previews describing someone's dish as "caucasian dim sum.").

Miracle Detectives (10pm, OWN) - Cases include a Texas railroad worker who was cut in half by a train in 2006 and survived.

I don't put a lot of stock in the "People's Choice Awards," but it's still worth noting the winners from last night's show.

"Glee" won Favorite New Comedy and "Vampire Diaries" won Favorite New Drama. "House" was also a big winner, snatching both Favorite TV Drama and Favorite TV Actor in a Drama for Hugh Laurie.
