Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants: (CW, 8pm) In a flurry of sashes and ruffles, bikinis and glitz, tonight’s first season comes to an over the top conclusion. Contestants will vie for the crown in front of a live studio audience with soap star Jack Wagner manning the hosting helm. Be prepared for high-heeled drama as one of the lovely ladies faints, and a ridiculous announcement regarding the $100,000 prize leaves these mothers and daughters shocked. And the craziness doesn’t stop there; word is the network has signed on for a second season!

Lost: (ABC, 9 pm) If you missed the season three nail biter finale, tonight offers another opportunity to catch up before tomorrow night’s season four premiere. The episode will offer some additional information and previously untold back stories of some of the island’s inhabitants. If you can’t wait until tonight, sate your appetite with some clips of the “survivors’ here on Fancast.

America’s Ballroom Challenge: (PBS, 8 pm) Yes, as we reported a few days ago, all the networks are cha-cha-ing their way onto the dance floor this season with brand new variations on the dancing craze. Hosted by It’s a Different World alum Jasmine Guy, and Latin Dance Champion Ron Montez, tonight’s season premiere is sure to bring a little more class to the competition in true PBS fashion with 25 world class dancing couples mamboing their way to the title of “America’s Best.”

Hollywood Residential: (Starz, 10:30 pm) Starz takes a shot at comedy with this Cheryl Hines-produced series that has the power (tools) to keep you laughing until the floor caves in. On tonight’s episode, the “Hollywood Residential” home makeover crew travels to Tom Arnolds house to try and fix his backyard. When Tom doesn’t turn up, show host Tony King admits that he had been out on the town with Tom the night before but hasn’t seen him since. In the meantime, co-host Lila tries to rise above the debris with plans to become a big star.

Law & Order: (NBC, 10 pm) After Lupo and Green discover three dead roommates, they initially consider it a murder-suicide. As they dig deeper they learn the incident may be the result of a con man who could very well get away with murder. And PS – anyone else thrilled to have Jeremy Sisto a part of this all star cast?
