What to watch: Wednesday

A bunch of new stuff tonight, some of them with enough guts to take on American Idol. I'm gonna use some spare DVR space to check out FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (NBC/8 p.m.) after reading a really good piece on it in EW this week.

Criminal Minds is in reruns so as not to clash with Idol, but CSI: NY (CBS/10 p.m.) is new. It's my favorite of the CSI triumvirate and follows the team this week as they investigate the death of a female impersonator in a men's room.

If you're into stupid comedy, give NAKED TRUCKER & T-BONES (COMEDY/10:30 p.m.) a try. Think Blue Collar meets The Man Show. If you need even dumber comedy, try ABC's KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY (9 p.m.) -- which doesn't live up to its premise, but isn't necessarily terrible.

Guest of the night:
Jon Stewart will chat with former White House press secretary Scott McClellan on THE DAILY SHOW (COMEDY/11 p.m.).

Also new: George Lopez, According to Jim and In Case of Emergency
on ABC; CBS' Armed and Famous; Beauty and the Geek and One Tree Hill on CW; American Idol on FOX; and Deal or No Deal and Medium on NBC. Top Chef's season finale kicks off at 10 p.m. on Bravo.
