Critic's Corner

The Woman Who Married the Eiffel Tower 9 p.m., BBC America

TLC is freak-show central, what with "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" and "Toddlers & Tiaras." But BBC America traffics in crazy stuff, too, as evidenced by tonight's look at "objectum sexuals," people who fall in love with inanimate objects. The hour profiles Erika La Tour, a former US Army soldier who tied the knot with the Eiffel Tower. Actually, it's Erika La Tour Eiffel; she took her husband's name.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 9 p.m., Channel 4

Last week's episode was the 200th, and it was beautifully directed by William Friedkin. Since William Petersen left in January, this series has really risen to the occasion. There hasn't been a bum hour in the bunch, and Laurence Fishburne (above) has settled in nicely. It's hard to believe that, in its ninth season, the show still has creative vitality. Tonight promises to be a Nick episode, as he investigates a skydiver's death.

I Was Bitten 8 and 9 p.m., Animal Planet

And all I got was a segment on this dumb show.

Bridget's Sexiest Beaches 10 p.m., Travel Channel

Answering the question, what if Gidget still existed?

In the Motherhood 8 p.m., Channel 5

A carpool crisis! (Maybe an exclamation point will make it funny.)

Millionaire Matchmaker 10 p.m., Bravo

Patti sees a psychic, who just saw you raise that eyebrow.

30 Rock 9:30 p.m., Channel 7

Layoffs at "TGS."
