Ah, Wednesday. It’s like Thursday, only it doesn’t overly test your DVR capabilities. Here are the highlights:

8:00

— “American’s Top Model” on The CW.

— “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” on CMT. Did you folks know this show was still on? I think it’s on, like, nightly on CMT. But now it has pseudo-celebrities as contestants. Tonight is Bucky Covington, who was, like, 8th one year on “American Idol.”

— “Mercy” debuts on NBC. I think that’s another nurse show.

— “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” has its 5th season premiere on CBS. 5th? Really? That can’t be right.

— “So You Think You Can Dance” on Fox.

9:00

— “Criminal Minds” has its 5th season premiere on CBS.

— “Glee” on Fox. Not as great as the pilot promised, but it’s still a pretty fantastic show.

— “Law and Order: SVU” has its 11th season premiere on NBC.

— “Modern Family” debuts on ABC. Watch this show, people. Trust me. It’s really, really good.

9:30

— “Cougar Town” debuts on ABC. That’s the Courteney Cox show. We’ll have a review soon.

10:00

— “CSI: New York” has its 6th season premiere. Ugh.

— “Eastwick” premieres on ABC. It’s based on The Witches of Eastwick. It’s hopefully worth a look-see. We’ll review this one soon, too.

— “The Jay Leno Show” on NBC has Vince Vaughn.

— “Top Chef” on Bravo! with Penn and Teller.
