Tonight on the Tube: Friday Night Lights, Bones, American Idol and Heroes

Bones is back on FOX tonight with a new episode. The Los Angeles auditions for American Idol follow. The Knights of Prosperity has been moved up a half hour to get it out of the way of Idol. I don’t think that is going to help much. What do you think? In Case of Emergency must have not left a number to call as they are still stuck in the same timeslot it has been in and will have to deal with the Idol juggernaut. Sci Fi Channel has four episodes of Heroes tonight. What will you be watching?
