Tonight's Best TV
A DAILY GUIDE TO NOTABLE SHOWS
Hart of Dixie
It's not a day in Bluebell, Ala., without some kind of over-the-top event, and this time it's the Sweetie Pie Dance. (Imagine your eighth-grade dance, but with adults.) Even big-city gal Zoe (Rachel Bilson), who's usually not into small-town soirees, decides to attend — if only to show Judson (Wes Brown) she's ready to take their relationship to the next level. Of course, her night of romance quickly gets sidetracked when she gets caught up in a much more fun prank war with Wade (Wilson Bethel). Sure, it's all pretty childish (especially that dance!), but there's enough emotion and chemistry in the subtext that we can't help but enjoy the games — and the episode — along the way.

House
There's an incident with a patient, and Jeffrey Wright plays the neurologist trying to figure out which doc messed up. So he can lobotomize them! (Or... take disciplinary action.)
The Bachelor
Please, no more butt shots.
2 Broke Girls
Max and Caroline try to get Sophie (the genius Jennifer Coolidge) to hire them as cleaners. Perhaps they should leave off their résumés that little thing about once letting a horse live with them.
Smash
Smash wants to make you feel like a theater geek without having to feel geeky. Its difficult task, however, is to stuff the series with knowing references to actual Broadway stars, shows, and slang without baffling people who don’t read Playbill. —Ken Tucker
Castle
Castle and Beckett go back in time as a detective and femme fatale trying to solve a cold case from 1947. I'd like to solve the case of which sibling murdered my goldfish in 1978. Does that mean I have to wear Sasson jeans and Famolare shoes to do it?
Absolutely Fabulous
Baby Spice and Lulu guest-star in this special about Edina's celeb client who wants to be a singer. As long as they don't take any screen time away from Patsy, it's okay with me.
