Bring it on: All or nothing for ‘Dancing’ stars

Mike Hughes Gannett News Service

Tonight’s must-see

“Dancing With the Stars,” 8-9 p.m., ABC. Here are the final performances with no sure winner. Judges have raved about Helio Castroneves (a race-car driver) and Melanie Brown (Scary Spice in the Spice Girls). Viewers are fond of Marie Osmond.

Last Tuesdsay, Osmond survived and Jennie Garth didn’t. Now the three finalists will each do two dances – one chosen by the judges, the other free-style.

Then viewers vote. Tuesday’s finale, which includes Celine Dion, names a champion.

Might-see

“Notes From the Underbelly” season-opener, 9:30 p.m., ABC.

As Andrew and Lauren await their baby he finds that his assertiveness is a turn-on for her. Meanwhile, Julie and Eric have a nanny who makes them feel excluded. It’s an OK episode with some funny spurts.

Other choices include

“Chuck,” 8 p.m., NBC. While Chuck helps an agent prove he’s not a rogue, his friend prepares for a post-Thanksgiving rush at the Buy More store.

“House” (8 p.m.) and “Bones” (9 p.m.), Fox. In the first transplanted rerun, the hospital chairman (Chi McBride) tries to have House fired. In the second, a body is found near a 300-year-old finger bone.

“Everybody Hates Chris,” 8 p.m., CW. There’s finally another black guy at the school. Greg worries that Chris will now ignore him.

“Two and a Half Men,” 9 p.m., CBS. Alan wants belated revenge because Charlie stole his high school girlfriend.

“Heroes,” 9 p.m., NBC. Nathan finally learns that Peter is alive. Meanwhile, Hiro goes after his dad’s killer.

“Samantha Who?” 9 p.m., ABC. A hot guy (Eddie Cibrian) thinks Samantha is a hockey fan. Now she has to learn about hockey.

“Nimrod Nation” debut, 9 and 9:30 p.m., Sundance Channel. Think of this dandy documentary series as a frigid “Friday Night Lights.” Watersmeet is a tiny town in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. In a high school that has a graduating class of 20, we follow the champion basketball team; we also get a rich portrait of the townsfolk.

“October Road,” 10 p.m., ABC. Hannah admits her feelings to Nick.

“Journeyman,” 10:01 p.m., NBC. Jumping around in time has complications. Dan just put a predator in prison – but that was six years ago. The guy is out now and is seeking revenge. There are tense moments, marred slightly by a so-so ending.
