7 P.M.

NEW EPISODE

Smallville CW

Remember way back when Clark had a pal named Pete Ross? Pete’s back tonight, and like seemingly everyone else in Smallville, meteors have given him strange powers.

Survivor: Micronesia CBS

A serious infection could mean an early exit for Jonathan (right).

8 P.M.

NEW EPISODE

Reaper CW

The CW didn’t include this funny, original comedy on its list of early renewals for next season. You, the viewers, need to fix that by watching starting with this new episode. The show focuses on Sam (Bret Harrison), a sweet kid employed by the devil thanks to some deal made by his parents years earlier. Ray Wise plays Satan as an unflappable taskmaster with a devilish (what else?) sense of humor. Tonight, Jamie Kennedy guest stars as a musician who wants to sell his soul to the devil. It’s a bad idea — just ask Sam.

Lost

ABC

The last of the Oceanic Six is revealed.

9 P.M.

Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew VH1

Dr. Drew’s patients reunite to talk about what has happened since their release. Jessica Sierra and Daniel Baldwin apparently are no-shows.

Make Me a Supermodel BRAVO

The models go Goth in New Orleans. Hopefully, Chicago Ronnie will stay on to make the trip. I’ll blog after the show at redeyechicago.com/showpatrolblog.

9:30 P.M.

SEASON PREMIERE

Lil’ Bush COMEDY CENTRAL

I never thought I’d say this, but the second season premiere of this animated series actually benefits from the presence of Kevin Federline, who guest voices the rap stylings of Lil’ Karl Rove (right). Needless to say, the lil’ Dems want him to go away.

“That made me sick,” says Lil’ Hillary Clinton, “and there’s no national health care plan to make me feel better.”

“I’m afraid you’re just not black enough,” adds Lil’ Barack Obama.

Lil’ Karl gets his chance at revenge when Lil’ Bush and his playground friends — Lil’ Condi, Lil’ Cheney and Lil’ Rummy — decide to derail the lil’ Dems’ plan to make the St. Patrick’s Day parade all-inclusive — even for the gays and midgets.

It’s not the smartest political satire around, but it is silly fun.
