Life on Mars @ 10pm
If you're looking for a police procedural with a twist, it's hard to beat this new series based on the well-regarded British drama of the same name. Here's the unique premise: Sam Tyler (Jason O'Mara) is a present-day NYPD detective who's hit by a car and knocked unconscious in tonight's series opener. When he wakes up, he's inexplicably in 1973. The great ensemble cast includes Harvey Keitel as Tyler's hard-nosed boss, Michael Imperioli as Det. Ray Carling and Gretchen Mol as policewoman Annie Norris, who's the smartest person in the room but underutilized in the sexist times.
Kath & Kim @ 8:30pm
The network's latest comedic import kicks off tonight with Molly Shannon and Selma Blair starring as the titular dysfunctional mother-daughter duo. Kim's marriage is in jeopardy after she realizes her husband of six weeks wants her to "do stuff." But the request isn't as scandalous as it may seem — he'd like her to microwave dinner and care about his day. Nonetheless, Kim decides to divorce him and hides out at her mom's house, putting a severe damper on Kath's blossoming romance with a lovable sandwich-shop owner.
Grey's Anatomy @ 9pm
Expect a flood of problems tonight as the chief attempts to implement new teaching policies, and George tries to retake his residency exam as flooding from a plumbing leak causes major problems at Seattle Grace. Meanwhile, Derek wants Meredith's roommates to move out of her house, to their surprise.
ER @ 10pm
We know Angela Bassett can play tough, and she's definitely that as Dr. Banfield, County General's new ER chief. It's up to the staff to adjust to the new boss since Banfield isn't going anywhere. This doesn't bode well for the antiestablishment Gates, who struggles tonight to save the life of a terrorist even while putting his life — and the lives of his interns — at risk. Meanwhile, Neela makes a stand of her own as she sets her mind to getting her mentor, Dr. Dubenko, back on the surgery staff.
