Dancing With Your DVR: What To Watch Tonight

Men In Trees: (ABC, 10 PM) Good news? Tonight marks the return to new episodes following the strike-halted season. Bad news? There are only three more episodes left, as Men in Trees won’t be hanging around for another season. So what to expect tonight? Jack gives Marin a group of puppies which hinders her ability to get work done. Problem #1. Annie finally accepts Ivan’s advances just in time for Patrick to remember their relationship. Problem #2. And last but not least, Mai and Buzz are on the outs after he gambled away their savings. Problem #3.

David McCullough: Painting With Words: (HBO, 7 PM) The documentary lens is turned to the prolific Pulizer Prize-winning author (who has more than two dozen ideas for new books?) responsible for HBO’s recent miniseries “John Adams.”

Top Chef: (Bravo, 10 PM) The five remaining chef’s will come to learn that cutting a slab of beef is not a piece of cake.

Farmer Wants A Wife: (CW, 9 PM) A friendly do-si-do turns ho-down-and-dirty when a couple of girls get wild during a square dance.

The Real World: Hollywood: (MTV, 10 PM) Greg, didn’t you get the memo? Your roommates think you pranks are lame. But they do make for great TV.
