Watch it
“Dinner with the Band” (8 p.m., IFC). I just heard about this series, and it sounds very cool. N.Y. chef Sam Mason invites various bands (mostly semi-obscure indie bands) to come over to his Brooklyn loft for an evening of tasty food, offbeat conversation and kickin’ tunes. Sounds legitimately interesting.
“Scrubs” (9 p.m., ABC). Season premiere. The ninth season kicks off with back-to-back episodes. The format’s been tweaked – the show will revolve around students at the adjacent med school and the stars will take mostly secondary roles. I’m a little wary of the reinvention, I think the show had a great finale last season and should have left it at that. But we’ll see how it goes tonight.
“Sons of Anarchy” (10 p.m., FX). The season finale, with SAMCRO looking to crush Zobelle’s white separatists for good. And the Mayans, while they’re at it. If Weston (Henry Rollins) doesn’t die bloody at the hands of Clay and Jax, I’ll be disappointed. He’s just soooo evil! Warning: This is a 90-minute episode, so record accordingly.
Record it
“Melrose Place” (9 p.m., The CW). Amanda moves into Sydney’s apartment. Because a high-powered ad executive swimming in money would want to live in a dead woman’s non-luxury apartment surrounded by overdramatic neighbors.
“Super Dave’s Spike-tacular” (9 p.m., Spike). Super Dave gets in a paintball shootout. It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye . . . .
Skip it
“My Fake Baby” and “Britain’s Missing Top Model” (8 and 9 p.m., BBC America). Who says all BBC programming is sophisticated and intelligent? “My Fake Baby” investigates women who treat super-lifelike dolls as their real babies, which just sounds sad and creepy. “Missing Top Model” is a typical top model reality show, but all eight contestants have disabilities. Yikes. Knowing BBC, they’ll probably handle it with dignity, but still . . .
