What's on: Thursday and "Idol" gossip

As exhausted as I know you probably are after last night's Lost (or maybe depressed over the Idol ouster -- and Peter Noone's horrendous performance) there's more good stuff you shouldn't miss tonight as the NCAA tournament continues on CBS.

(Incidentally, if you were paying attention you'd have seen ousted contestant Alaina Alexander on screen with "Chris' Family" on Idol last night after they announced he was staying. Maybe she was just there, and really, who cares? I just wanted to be able to say I noticed it and not write an entire blog about something so dumb. It also could be fun to start a stupid rumor about what the two might be doing together that starts another stupid national Idol scandal. Sorry, I'll stop now.)

Included in that is a Zach Braff-directed episode of SCRUBS (NBC/9 p.m.). And SMALLVILLE (CW/8 p.m.) with guest spots from WWE superstars Kane (star of See No Evil) and Ashley (star of this month's Playboy magazine). Kane plays a massive "Zoner" named Titan who hangs out in a fight club that's broadcasting its fights on the Web. Ashley clashes with Lois.

Plus the season/series premieres of BULLS**T/THIS AMERICAN LIFE (SHOWTIME/10 and 10:30 p.m.). Not having Showtime (or enough journalistic credibility to get screenings of any of these shows), can't really help as far as speaking to the new show's quality.

Also new: Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy and October Road on ABC; Fox's Fifth Grader; NBC's Andy Barker P.I. and Raines; CW's Supernatural; Comedy Central's Showbiz Show; True Life, Juvies and some spring break uselessness on MTV; Spike's TNA Impact and Pros vs. Joes.
