HBO
Season Premiere Preview
Hard Knocks

"Here's what I'm hoping to see from this show on the Dallas Cowboys training camp: Jessica Simpson, Terrell Owens acting stupid, Adam ''Pacman'' Jones acting stupider, owner Jerry Jones looking more facially taut, and lots of injuries. Go Skins! —Dalton Ross"

9-11PM
NGC, TV-14

Season Premiere
Taboo

Taboo the game never had a card about corpses being evicted from graveyards. Thankfully, Taboo the show fills the void.

It's like Cops but more vice-y.

Season Premiere
The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency

"For season 4, Janice hires a slew of new models, buys them a house — decorated by Christopher Ciccone — and cuts costs by moving in with them. Drama ensues! There are plenty of Janice-isms (she tells one deaf model, ''I am a bitch, and you can't hear, so we're perfect!'') and even more shirtless male models, so what's not to like? B+ —Kate Ward"

"Spring break is over. And I didn't even make it to the MTV beach house. Sigh."

Tonight...!

8-9PM
The CW "Gossip Girl" A

"I'll admit, I was a wee bit worried after last season's annoying Georgina story line and relentless drama about the past that haunts Serena (Blake Lively). But fear not, groupies: Summer's been good to this Girl. After spending the last few months juggling girls and interning for an alcoholic novelist, Dan (Penn Badgley) heads to East Hampton to woo Serena. It's a good thing, too, considering she's been busy moping and covering for Nate (Chace Crawford), who's been flinging with a married older woman (Mädchen Amick). But the season premiere belongs to the fabulously headbanded Blair (Leighton Meester) and caddish Chuck (Ed Westwick), who circle each other like a couple of lovestruck porcupines. In the words of my esteemed colleague Tim Stack, they are ''this show's Summer and Seth.'' Hopefully, that doesn't mean Serena has a lawn-chair-throwing fit in her future."

8-10PM
Fox, TV-14-LV

Season Premiere
Prison Break

"Holy Bobby Ewing, the beheaded Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) is back! We won't spoil the circumstances of Sara's teary reunion with lover Michael (Wentworth Miller); just know that they're now working with a righteous Homeland Security agent (Michael Rapaport) to expose the rogue government group that's dogging them with a super-skilled assassin. And take heed: Three major characters are killed tonight within the first hour of a pretty stellar premiere. We're betting these deaths are for real."
B+ —Aubry D’Arminio

9-10PM
The CW, TV-14-DL

Season Premiere
One Tree Hill

"Lucas' chosen lady meets him at the airport, which we all know is a sign that the relationship is doomed."

Season Premiere
The Shield
A-

"Season openers don't get much more incendiary: There are severed feet, a ''beef'' between rival Armenian, Mexican, and Salvadoran gangs, and a murder committed by another member of Vic's Strike Team. (Michael Chiklis' bald head now looks like a cartoon bomb ready to explode — all that's missing is a wick on top, set afire). Yet The Shield’s final season also makes room for subtle subplots about Vic's family problems (watch out for angry daughter Cassidy) and a tough new fed played by the deceptively demure Laurie Holden. —Ken Tucker"

Cant wait for The Shield tonight. Ive been dying for this premiere for almost a year now.

Oh, and as far as that Prison Break blurb goes, only two characters died, and neither of them were what Id consider major characters. Sure, Whistler played a pivotal role last season, but Mahone's wife ?

Season Premiere
America's Next Top Model
B+

"There's something beautifully predictable about Tyra Banks' over-the-top a-nun-cee-a-tions, flagrant abuse of the term ''fierce,'' and quotes like ''She needs some ugly pretty 'cause right now she got pretty pretty and pretty pretty is ugly ugly.'' Sure, Tyra, and now tell us again about smiling with your eyes. But do I mind? Hell, no. I'm already enthralled by cycle 11's gawky French girl, a figure skater who was nearly sold to Saudi Arabians, and the pre-op transgender Isis, who enjoys the phrase ''born in the wrong body."

8-10PM

"Brennan and Booth go to London, but before they can make goofy faces at the palace guards, someone is murdered."

Sci Fi, TV-PG

"Don't confuse this show with Ghost Whisperer. Those plumbers don't look anything like Jennifer Love Hewitt."

Tonight,

10-10:30PM
HBO, TV-MA

Season Premiere B-
Entourage

"It's been over a year since we last saw Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) and his posse, so it's a bummer to see that they’re still talking about his dud of a Pablo Escobar biopic. After Medellín's horrendous reviews, Vince has exiled himself to an endless party in Mexico; he's now at the bottom of the Hollywood food chain, and only his boys can help him climb back up. A bigger problem? Everything in the season 5 premiere feels stale: Ari (Jeremy Piven) is still yelling a lot, Drama (Kevin Dillon) is still immature, and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) still just wants to meet hot chicks. This Entourage could benefit from some new members. —Tim Stack"

Season Premiere
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

"John's birthday (and season 1) ended with a bang as the family Jeep exploded into a burning pile of debris with Cameron inside. So what's in store for season 2? Lots. Cameron's still alive and Brian Austin Green returns, while Shirley Manson joins the cast as the CEO of a hi-tech corporation. And no, it's not a Garbage processor."

Season Premiere
The Ellen DeGeneres Show

"Ellen sits down with Michelle Obama and the Jonas Brothers. Not together. Though I'd love to hear Nick's thoughts on the Russia–Georgia imbroglio."

Season Premiere

Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Island

"In my mind, any current or future Real World installments serve only to populate this vastly more entertaining competition series, which is shaking things up this season: Instead of putting the RW/RR alums up in a luxurious mansion while they compete for a $300,000 pot of money, the group is stranded on a deserted island, Robinson Crusoe-style. That is, if Crusoe and Friday had done body shots to inaugurate their first night as castaways. Good to see things haven't changed too much. B+ —Tim Stack"

"Summer's golden boy and EW Olympic stud, Michael Phelps will host the 34th season premiere of SNL. No word yet on whether he'll do the honors in a Speedo, but a girl can always hope. Lil Wayne is the musical guest. He can leave his Speedo at home."

Michael Phelps! I'm excited for this - we'll see if he can act as well as he can swim. I'm guessing not, but it promises to be funny regardless.

Micheal Phelps is going to be a disaster, I'm afraid. I'm not debating his athletic prowess, but the poor guy should never open his mouth. He comes across as a grade A doofus when he talks.
