“The X Factor” on Fox at 8:00pm ET. Second season premiere. Tune in to see next year’s crop of state-fair headliners!

“Damages” on DirecTV at 9:00pm ET. Series finale. I know several of you liked this a lot, or used to, so I hope you’re satisfied with how it’s ending. And hopefully Glenn Close finds a new awesome role on television soon.

“Dirty Jobs” on Discovery at 10:00pm ET.

“Guys With Kids” on NBC at 10:00pm ET. Series premiere. I’m kind of happy to see a show centered around dads taking care of their children, because nothing gives me a twitch like hearing people talk about a child’s father “babysitting” them. On the other hand, it’s a comedy on NBC so there’s a pretty good chance it will be awful. That chance would be much higher if it were on CBS, though.

“The Real World” on MTV at 10:00pm ET. 27th season finale.

Genevieve Burgess Is thrilled to have worthwhile television to write about again. At least for the moment.
