8:00 – House (FOX)
What could be more dramatic than Dr. House and crew struggling to deal with a potentially deadly case of agoraphobia? Many things. But that’s what you get.
8:00 – Family Guy (TBS)
Two hours of it. There is nothing on TV tonight.
9:00 – Rent a movie (Netflix)
There is nothing on TV tonight.
Late Night
Letterman hosts Colbert-rival Don Rickles, John McCain shows up on Leno to ask if he’s President yet, Seth Green wanders over to Conan from this week’s Entourage, Thomas Friedman test drives a hybrid-electric moustache on the Daily Show, and Sacramento Mayor-Elect/ex-Sacramento King Kevin Johnson dribbles over to Colbert.

Okay, people, it’s not you, it’s me. Actually, it’s not even me, it’s the crappy nature of television today. There’s never anything on. American Gladiators just ended. I’m sick of pretending like I watch Lost just to make Lost jokes. So today marks the arrival of your leaner, meaner OMG TV of the future. More shows! Similar amounts of snarkiness! 15% less trans fats!
Full listings after the jump.

8:00 – Smokin’ Aces (HBO)
The Wikipedia entry for Smokin’ Aces has a plot description that is 1,879 words long. I’m pretty sure the Iraq Study Group report was shorter than that. Let me see if I can do any better: “Several handsome people shoot at each other for 90 minutes.” Hey, ten words, not bad!
8:30 – Family Guy: “Da Boom” (TBS)
“There’s a benefit gala at the Boston Pops tonight, and…well, I’m trying to nail the flautist.”
10:00 – Boston Legal: “Roe v. Wade: The Musical” (ABC)
I’m not 100% sure what this episode is about, but judging by the title, it sounds like David E. Kelly will once again host a sober, intelligent discussion of a serious social issue. One for the whole family.
Late Night
Letterman has John “There are three people in this debate, not two” Edwards and the musical stylings of the actually quite excellent Josh Ritter. Conan’s still in 2006 Chicago for the week, with Sean Hayes, and Mr. Monk himself, Tony Shalhoub, swings by Ferguson.
