Fox has a few bona fide hits this season that have nothing to do with marrying a midget or a millionaire. "American Idol," "House" and the gross, yet informative, "Bones" (7 p.m., KASA-Channel 2) are all solid performers and will be back next season.

I’m doing an internal happy dance, especially since I feared "Bones" would never make it this far. It changed time slots at about the same rate I buy shoes, which would be way too often, according to my dear papa.

At one point, "Bones" aired on at least two different nights opposite either "Lost," "Survivor" or "NCIS" - all ratings mammoths for their networks.

Unlike the way Fox gave up on "Firefly," though, it stuck with this funky crime drama. Not that I’m still bitter, four years later, about the loss of an amazing show. Nope. Not at all.

Tonight, agent Booth (David Boreanaz) and Dr. Brennan (Emily Deschanel) investigate an apparent suicide of a former soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

Military scandal anyone?

So NBC cancels "Heist" and puts "Dateline NBC" (8 p.m., KOB-Channel 4) in its place.

I just can’t get enough of its special "To Catch a Predator" editions.

There’s simply not enough yuckiness in this world. That’s why we get an additional hour of "Dateline" trying to nail pervs to the wall.

I watch TV to escape reality, not deal with the absolute worst part about it.

The first episode of this season’s "American Masters" (2 a.m., KNME-Channel 5) could almost be considered the "E! True Hollywood Story" of John Wayne and John Ford.

Only it’s a whole lot less tacky.

If you can stay up this late or have serious insomnia, catch this documentary on the looooong life and times of both Academy Award winners.

It explores the ups and downs in their friendship and working relationship. The biography has clips of all their greatest hits, which moves things along so you barely notice how long the darn thing is.
