Friday Night Lights 9 p.m., Channel 7

Actually, please don't watch this show. Stay away. It's sincere, and you're so ironic. It's moving, and you've got a suit of armor around your heart. It's a straight-up melodrama and you have quotes around everything you say and do. Even though Jason Street (above) is returning to the story line tonight, tune it out. Seriously. And no, I wouldn't stoop to reverse psychology.

The Last Seduction 8 p.m., Flix

There was a moment in 1994 when this movie turned Linda Fiorentino (above) into the Maybe Next Big Thing. Her career never quite panned out, but the plot-twisty "Last Seduction" is still a great ride. Fiorentino plays a cold villain with a nice hint of dry humor.
