Survivor Redemption Island (8pm, CBS) - Three hour finale. Hydrate.

Extreme Home Makeover (8pm, ABC) - In the season finale, the team helps a family with a 9-year-old with brittle bone disease.

South Riding (9pm, PBS) - The conclusion to the Masterpiece Theatre series, in which Robert faces difficulties due to his stand against political corruption.

Desperate Housewives (9pm, ABC) - In the two-hour season finale, the neighborhood welcomes Susan home with a party that ends in murder. Also, Gaby learns the identity of her stalker and Bree hears a rumor about her new cop boyfriend Chuck (left) and begins to suspect that he might be gay.

Celebrity Apprentice (9pm, NBC) - Trump has previous winners Piers Morgan, Joan Rivers, and Bret Michaels help him pick the season's two finalists. They'll do that by quizzing John Rich, Lil Jon, Meat Loaf, and Marlee Matlin (any chance it's not Rich vs. Matlin for the finale?). Then the final two compete in a soda company challenge. Six ousted celebrities return to help them.

Cleveland Show (9:30pm, Fox) - The Season 2 finale follows the Brown-Tubbses to Comic-Con. Guest voices include Emily Deschanel, Eliza Dushku, Katee Sackhoff, and director Robert Rodriguez.

Killing Bin Laden (10pm, Discovery) - A special examining how Osama bin Laden was brought down from intelligence-gathering that exposed his location to the military operation conducted by Seal Team 6.

I always think it's a little unfair to judge a show on one episode. On the one hand, the first show should be strong and representative of the series.

On the other hand, I've learned that sometimes it takes the writers time to get things to gel.

So after someone told me to watch the second episode of "The Cleveland Show" (Fox, 8:30 tonight), I thought, 'well, all right.'

Amazing Race 15 (8pm, CBS) - Contestants begin their journey
tonight in Los Angeles, but soon find themselves in Tokyo trying to survive a Japanese game show. Lots of great teams this year, but one stands out for me: two Harlem Globetrotters.

The Simpsons (8pm, Fox) - It's season 21 for our favorite Springfield family, and tonight's debut was co-written by Seth Rogen.
Rogen also lends his voice to the trainer getting Homer ready for his super hero movie role. Look for lots of big name guest stars this season, such as Sarah Silverman and Anne Hathaway.

Cleveland Show (8:30, Fox) - A "Family Guy" spinoff from Seth McFarlane and Mike Henry about a divorced father who returns to his hometown and romances his first love, who now has children of her own. Fox also debuts "Family Man," and "American Dad" tonight.

Desperate Housewives (9pm, ABC) - A "beloved character" is
attacked in tonight's premiere, and much of season 6 will focus on solving the question of whodunnit. There's a mysterious new couple on the block, played by Drea de Matteo ("Sopranos") and Jeffrey Nordling ("24"). The show will also immediately reveal who was at the altar with Mike in last year's finale -- Susan or Katherine?

Dexter (9pm, Showtime)
- Season 4 opens with Dexter in full Family Man mode. He's married now with two stepchildren and a new baby. The only problem is he's still dicing up bad guys in his spare time. Keith Carradine returns as Agent Frank Lundy get Dexter's help in tracking a new serial killer called The Trinity Killer, because he kills in threes. A mind-blowingly creepy John Lithgow plays Trinity.

Californication (10pm, Showtime) - Hank is up to his old nasty tricks this season, and has expanded his tom-catting territory to academia.  

Cold Case (10pm, CBS) - For the seventh season debut, the team is investigating the 1966 murder of a young woman aboard a luxury ocean liner.

Brothers & Sisters (10pm, ABC) - Another season, another medical crisis for an unnamed member of the Walker family. Also, this season, Kitty and Robert try to save their marriage, and Sarah has a fling with "Dancing with the Stars" and "Sex in the City" French hottie Gilles Marini. And Nora and Holly will fight a lot, of course.

There's also some great stuff airing tonight in non-premiere news...

Fox has two shows this season featuring all-black casts. There's "Brothers" and there's "The Cleveland Show," which airs this Sunday night at 8:30, part of Fox's animation domination block.

Because it's a spin-off of the hit show "The Family Guy," it's a safe bet that "The Cleveland Show" will be the one that lasts.

And safe is the problem with the show.

With the cancellation of Comedy Central's "Chocolate News" (forcing poor David Alan Grier on to 'Dancing With the Stars' for a paycheck) and the end of "D.L. Hughley Breaks The News" on CNN, it's apparently time to look at diversity on TV again.

At least the New York Times thinks so. Here, it reports on what's happening and what's coming (like the Cleveland Show, a Family Guy spinoff).
