Watch, TiVo, Kill: Your Guide To What's On [Watch TiVo Kill]

[Ed. note: In the tradition of such beloved parlor games as , Kill, Marry and Puke, Broke, AIDS, we now proudly present your daily Defamer TV listings, handily filed under the three possible headings of "Watch," "TiVo," and "Kill."]

WATCH

Eli Stone [10 PM, ABC] - Katie Holmes is not on tonight's episode, but the second season premiere of the fantasy-musical-legal-dramedy merits an hour of your time. Holmes will appear on next week's episode, however, followed by a brief but pivotal cameo on Lifetime's Army Wives, in a touching episode entitled "The Visitor."

Fringe [9 PM, FOX] - Joshua Jackson's Peter Bishop can be counted on for plenty of acerbic quips during tonight's episode, when his institutionalized father calls on a flock of homing pigeons to solve this week's unexplained phenomenon. FOX's "Remote-Free" initiative promises you six extra minutes of Dawson's Creek nostalgia.

Hope Floats [8 PM, E!] - Comfort pick of the night. Sandra Bullock getting humiliated on live TV, starting over in her Texas hometown, and lip-syncing "I Can't Get Next to You" to cheer up her daughter after a savage, slo-mo playground beating has the power to cure the ails of Wall Street, Main Street and Avenue of the Stars.

TiVo

The Biggest Loser: Families [8 PM, NBC] & Secret Lives of Women: Extreme Weight Loss [10 PM, WE tv] - There's already enough crying in the world, and watching two hours of weight loss shows usually results in a pint of something containing cookie or brownie dough. Scan ahead and stop when you see hugging.

Dancing With The Stars [9 PM, ABC] - Results show. One of the contestants will be eliminated and Ne-Yo performs. Fast-forward through anything non-Cloris.

You Got Served [8 PM, BET] - Tonight's installment of BET's "BlackBuster" series. Just watching Lil' Kim act and the meager amount of actual dance battles condenses the movie down to about 18 minutes.

Kill

The Cleaner [10 PM, A&E] - Everyone's least favorite team of extreme interventionists ends its first season by doing something extraordinarily complicated to solve a problem that a part-time employee at the California Department of Social Services could've knocked out in an afternoon.

Dirty Harry [8 PM, AMC] & Magnum Force [10 PM, AMC] - Please get some new movies, AMC. No one even stops on your channel unless they see 1960's dudes doing bad things to women or Bryan Cranston selling meth.
