NCIS (8pm, CBS) - Boo! Fooled ya! Robert Wagner is arrested for murder but it's while he's playing Tony's dad on "NCIS." Wagner's character is suspected of murder when he's found in a car with a dead body and has no recollection of his actions. Tony is taken off the case, forcing him to disobey orders to prove his dad's innocence. Coincidentally, Wagner was just in the CBS lineup this past Saturday night, co-starring in an episode of "48 Hours Mystery: Vanity Fair Hollywood Scandal." On that show, a boat captain alleged that Wagner had a hand in the drowning death of his wife Natalie Wood in 1981. Awkward.

Hell's Kitchen (8pm, Fox) - "Hell's Kitchen," the cooking competition show for people who wish "Iron Chef" and "Top Chef" just had a little violence and profanity, begins its new season with a 2-hour premiere tonight. Gordon Ramsay is as angry and demanding as ever, and the 16 contestants are a truly staggering mix of whackos. All have huge egos, naturally, but a few border on mental or emotional instability -- all the better to push the tease of some actual physical violence this season. The big prize is a job as top chef at a restaurant in the Canadian resort town of Whistler, B.C. (site of 2010 Winter Olympics), but a few of them would be better served by a year in anger management classes. Or cooking school. Ramsay's attitude? We get that. He knows what he's doing, he has standards in his kitchen, and he's in charge. But coming from bozos who can't devein shrimp, it just feels like "crazy." One thing is for sure -- it's never boring.
