House - 9 pm/ET FOX
Let the games begin. House has assembled 40 candidates to replace Foreman, Chase and Cameron, and he’ll begin to weed them out tonight. The candidates, in turn, will second-guess and backstab each other as though they were reality-show contestants. But they’ll also assist House in his diagnosis of an astronaut candidate who has had a neurological episode and doesn’t want NASA to know about it.

Prison Break - 8 pm/ET FOX
If you’re confused about why the Company wants Michael in Sona, the reason Sara and LJ have been abducted, and the role that the fisherman Whistler plays in all of this, tonight’s episode should clear the fog just a bit. At least Michael and Linc have a mission, which is something you can’t say about Mahone and Bellick. The latter pair are just rotting away in Sona, and Mahone gets more bad news tonight. Meanwhile, Sucre might not be in jail but he’s in a bad way as well, so he resorts to rotgut.

Things got off with a bang last week, didn’t they? We now know that Henry Gale’s real name is Ben and that he’s not particularly gentle. But what’s the Others’ story? That’s for J.J., Damon, Carlton and company to know and for us to find out when they’re ready to tell us. (“It doesn’t matter who we were,” Juliet told Jack. “It only matters who we are.”) But whatever’s up, it’ll mean a “very unpleasant” two weeks for Kate, Sawyer and Jack, beginning tonight. Sayid is out to rescue them, but we’ll see how far he gets. Sun and Jin are the backstory stars.

Gilmore Girls - 8 pm/ET CW
Emily barely reacts to the news of Lorelai’s breakup, and Lorelai’s forced to attend a cotillion organized by Emily. Those two events provide great scenes between them and add another layer to our understanding of their complex bond. Elsewhere: Rory and Logan, an ocean between them, their Sidekicks in hand, and some dirty imaginations.

In other happenings, L.A. cop Matt Parkman is questioned about his knowledge of the mysterious serial killer Sylar, whom Mohinder is able to track down — well, sort of.

Grey’s Anatomy - 9 pm/ET ABC
So they’re “dating.” You didn’t really expect Meredith to make up her mind last week, did you? It’ll be interesting to see how long Shonda Rhimes can string this out, but in case it begins to get boring, it’s nice to see “McSteamy” back in the picture (and in Addison’s bed). Also tonight, Izzie’s back, sort of; and “Little Miss Sunshine” Abigail Breslin guest stars as a troubled foster child.

When we left the island in May, things weren’t looking good for Jack, Kate and Sawyer, who were taken captive by the Others. Tonight, we’ll learn how bad things really look. At least Sawyer and Kate will have company: each other. They’ll end up in adjoining cells, and that, of course, will reopen speculation about the Jack-Kate-Sawyer triangle. But in flashback world, it’s all Jack, and things aren’t good here, either. John Terry (Jack’s dead dad) and Julie Bowen (his ex-wife) are in the guest cast, and rumor has it their characters might have been an item. Incidentally, J.J. Abrams is back on the job: He cowrote the script with fellow exec producer Damon Lindelof.

Gilmore Girls - 8 pm/ET CW
It’s great to see Rory and Lane together talking like schoolgirls. It’s just like old times. Except this time the classroom is life and Lane is giving Rory the Cliffs Notes on her horror story called “the honeymoon.” Zack’s got his own tragic version, which he shares with Brian. It’s sad, but funny, and we need the comic relief, because this episode is not kind to Lorelai. Sure, she made her bed (with Christopher) and is paying the price. But she gets it from all sides tonight, and you can’t help feeling sympathy for her.

When last we left our fugitives, Tweener was in Mahone’s clutches and a cop had pulled up to the house where the others were hunkered down, digging for Westmoreland’s loot. Well, it turns out that the cop is homeowner Jeanette Owens’ daughter, and she’ll play a key role tonight, as will Lincoln and LJ. And so will Bill Kim (Reggie Lee), the shadowy White House operative who can make even Kellerman quake.

The Doctor returns for a new season, but this time he has a different look. David Tennant becomes the 10th incarnation of the mysterious time traveler since the campy cult-classic series debuted in 1963. Tonight’s 90-minute special episode takes place on Christmas Eve, and the usual holiday stress is intensified when an earthbound spaceship full of uninvited holiday visitors appears — and they’re more hostile than even the most insane in-laws. A second new episode follows the premiere.
