The Great American Dream Vote settles into its regular timeslot tonight on ABC in the first hour of primetime. Over on cable the British version of What Not to Wear, also known as the original version, kicks off a new season with a couple of new hosts on BBC America. Also, Gwen Stefani performs on American Idol with Akon. What will you be watching tonight?

Prime Picks

Friday Night Lights (NBC): New. Cash is appearing in players’ lockers and an accident might ruin the chances of the team having home field advantage for the game that would send them to the state championships.

Crossing Jordan (NBC): New. Jordan and Woody are working the case of a murdered woman and her missing fetus, but Jordan may have screwed up along the way.

Lost (ABC): New. Hurley thinks that Sawyer may be part of an island mystery, while Sun finds out about her attempted kidnapping by the Others and what really went on. What did you think of the magic box from last week?

Solid Selections

Jericho (CBS): New. April has gone into labor early and needs an operation and the only one who can is Kenchy, who is still dealing with what happened at his hospital by those Ravenwood guys.

American Idol (FOX): New. Gwen Stefani performs with Akon. Someone is told, “your journey ends here tonight.” Who do you think it should be?
‘Til Death (FOX): New. I actually watched most of last week’s show and laughed a couple of times. You could always flip over to ABC and watch In Case of Emergency while you are waiting for Lost to start.

Medium (NBC): New. Allison has another disturbing dream that could help solve a case.

Cable Choices

That’s Gotta Hurt (TLC): New. Do you like to see people fall down, get kicked, crash into things and the like? Then this is the show for you.

MythBusters (Discovery Channel): Repeat. The guys try and blow the feathers off a chicken. Now that certainly sounds entertaining.

Good Eats (Food Network): Repeat. What can you do with cube steak? Well, Alton will give you a few ideas.
Dinner: Impossible (Food Network): Repeat. The tailgating challenge is replayed.

Other Options

• Bones (FOX): New. A water main breaks and floods a cemetery next to a church. Brennan is supposed to identify the remains and get them reburied properly, but it looks like there may be an extra one or something in the mix.
• Criminal Minds (CBS): Repeat. A young man reaches out to Dr. Reid and the team tries to help him. He thinks he may be a potential serial killer in the making. This was a very good episode of this show.

Sports Notes

• ESPN has the 2007 McDonald’s All-American Game followed by some NBA action with Houston Rockets at the Los Angeles Clippers.
