60 Minutes II (7 p.m., Ch. 2): Two 13-year-olds stand trial as adults for the murder of a playmate.
American Idol (7:30 p.m., Ch. 13): Another contestant is eliminated as they narrow the field to eight.
King of Queens (8 p.m., Ch. 2): Doug goes out of his way to keep Carrie's co-workers at arm's length.
The Bachelor (8 p.m., Ch. 4): In an attempt to stoke interest in this fading franchise, ABC has turned to the NFL. Yes, indeed, the new bachelor is Jess Palmer, a backup quarterback with the New York Giants. Ho, hum. The other twist is that one of the women is actually an old friend of his and his spy she'll report back to him about what the other women are saying. Ho, hum. And this is a two-hour premiere. Ho, hum.
The Swan (8 p.m., Ch. 13): I have nothing against making people feel better about themselves, but resorting to plastic surgery seems somehow a bit over the line. (Thus my antipathy for "Extreme Makeover.") Tonight Fox takes this to another extreme as it collects a group of less-than-attractive women, enhances them surgically and sets them up to compete in a beauty pageant. Which makes this yet another unreal "reality" show.
The Stones (8:30 p.m., Ch. 2): Stan's back goes out, and Winston has to baby-sit him.
