"Ugly Betty" returns tonight and I'd say the episode is pretty close to top form. The only thing missing is a few really solid Wilhelmina/Marc zingers. But the "UB" world will warm up your Thursday night regardless... even if Mode is close to bankruptcy. I mean, Betty's still with the rich boyfriend, so all's well on that end...
This week the "America's Next Top Model" gals get a Brazilian...photo shoot, that is. Backbiting, spasms of insecurity, and the all important go-sees: the going is getting model-tough, so who rises to the occasion?

'Lost': My recap for 'The Variable' is live
With its 100th episode, "Lost" pulled out all the stops tonight with "The Variable," a Faraday-centric episode that sought to shed light not only on his whereabouts in the past, but his purpose throughout the history of the Dharma Initiative. While the episode featured some outstanding work by Jeremy Davies and a few incredible reveals, I'm working through how I feel about the episode's final moments.More
Three times during "Lost" Wednesday night, a tiny image appeared inside a black screen, followed by the words "What did you see?" Don't worry -- it's not still another mystery of the island.
This week's "Lie to Me" seemed to take a page from the "24" playbook (minus the torture), with cops as suspects, FBI agents, CIA informers, and a rumored terrorist plot. But it all started like a good, old-fashioned crime procedural.
Huzzah! "Ugly Betty" has returned, uh, with an Easter episode. Okay, obviously this was meant to be aired earlier in the month, but we'll take it, especially if we get to see Daniel (Eric Mabius) in a pink bunny suit.

I'm so disappointed with the "theme" last night on "American Idol." Rat Pack, my hiney. Sinatra recorded a few of the songs, but they weren't his "standards." They might as well have called it Musicals of the 30s and 40s.
