What’s On: The Best Tyramail of All

Tonight America’s Top Next Model concludes its 14th cycle and finally makes a decent clothes-wearer of one lucky girl. Tyra Banks, your soon-to-be favorite author , has enlisted a well-known fashion designer to make the last runway a daunting one — as if the aluminum sheen of Nigel Barker’s noggin wasn’t disorienting enough.

What’s On: A Trip to Xanadu

But first, some poetry: Let’s get animal, animal I wanna get animal Let’s get into animal Let me hear your body talk Let me hear your body talk Sound familiar? It’s from one of the top ten singles of the 1980s. And someone will sing it at your kids tonight.

What’s On: Trying to Defy Gravity

Starz’s freshman suicide survivor series debuted last week and proved that, like Dead Like Me and Six Feet Under before it, balancing comedy, drama and death is tough. Even with bubbly Kristen Ritter, whose character designed an actual “death by chocolate” cake, the show still has far to go before it finds its footing.

Now on Demand: Mind-Screwers of the World Unite

And now introducing Michael Atkinson’s weekly selections of worthwhile films available on demand… Still a Wild West of unaligned platforms, mismatched delivery systems and desperate-industry pricing schemes, Video on Demand seems to forecast the future. After all, when we envision how much convenience we will have demanded by, say, 2020, we see instant access, unlimited choices, our choice of home screens (not just our computers), and direct piping — if we don’t actually just have movies cabled right into our skulls with a Matrix hose. (All the better to project Seinfeld reruns on the backs of our eyeballs.) Sounds great, but meanwhile VOD is just another option, albeit an almost instant one. What’s new and good for the weekend, amid the usual cable dross and among the immense, inexhaustible libraries at IFC, Criterion, The Auteurs and Amazon?

What’s On: That’s Grandfather McSteamy to You

The Office enjoyed a healthy ratings spike earlier this season with the televised birth of Jim and Pam’s first child, and tonight, Shonda Rhima tries to birth her own Nielsen baby boom with the delivery of McSteamy’s first grandchild. Tune in to see McSteamy get in touch with his inner grandpa while the Seattle Grace staff tries to get in touch a shark hook stuck through a crab boat captain.

What’s On: Welcome Back Party Down

Enjoy this season of the underrated comedy from Rob Thomas and Paul Rudd because already, its actors are signing onto other projects making the prospect of a third season uncertain. Adam Scott signed up for a lengthy Parks and Recreation arc, Ryan Hansen is filming an NBC pilot and Lizzy Caplan (to whom Movieline spoke last month) also snapped up a pilot project from CBS. Tonight, Megan Mullally takes the place of Jane Lynch, who left to film Glee .

What’s On: 30 Rock Restages ConanGate with Janitors

Earlier this month while promoting Date Night overseas, Tina Fey spilled the beans on an upcoming 30 Rock episode that would boldly parody the very late night disaster that shock 30 Rock ‘s network just months before. Tonight, Fey & Co. deliver with that eagerly-awaited episode “Khonani” as well as a bonus installment at 8:30 PM. An hour of new 30 Rock should counteract everything unfunny happening on tonight’s Marriage Ref , right?

What’s On: An American Idiot on Broadway

The Green Day show may not open on Broadway until April 20, but MTV has the scoop on the band’s musical tonight. Yes, MTV reporting on something that has to do with music. Sounds weird, but anything to change the current Broadway conversation from The Addams Family musical is welcome.

What’s On: Don’t Fear the Rerun

Saturday Night Live is once again attempting what it does best: looking back on old episodes of itself. Can’t wait to see whether Molly Shannon is exactly as I remembered her, or if Chris Kattan is… you know, still doing his Chris Kattan thing.
