BEST BETS FOR TUESDAY, MAR. 9, 2010

AMERICAN IDOL

Fox, 8 p.m. ET

90210

CW, 8 p.m. ET

SERIES RETURN: Not a recommendation, just a notation. This series returns after several months of dormancy, and returns with a standard TV eye-opener: a woman who attempts to seduce her prey by showing up wearing nothing but a trench coat, and dropping the trench coat.

LOST

ABC, 9 p.m. ET

Last week ended with the smoke monster in the shape of Locke – or, as I call him, Un-Locke – leading his followers out into the jungle. Tonight, the plot centers on Ben, who once did the same thing. But that was another time. Literally.

THE GOOD WIFE

PARENTHOOD

NBC, 10 p.m. ET

In this second episode, Lauren Graham continues to shine – as when her daughter reveals to her that she’s being held back at her new high school. Suddenly, the mom who felt so distant suddenly becomes protective – and fierce.

FOOD WARS

Travel Channel, 10 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Camille Ford hosts this new series, which brings blind taste tests to legendary local eatery battles. In the opener: Buffalo, N.Y., the home of Buffalo wings, pits Anchor Bar and Duff’s in a battle for bragging rights.
