It’s a great night for television! Too bad President Bush’s undoubtedly boring and awkward State of the Union Address will mess up everything!

American Idol, 8pm, FOX. The auditions continue, as Simon recovers from last week’s hissy fit.

Gilmore Girls, 8pm, the WB. If you only see one show tonight, make this the one. We were lucky enough to view an advance copy, and trust us, it’s good. Before the night is over, there will be a blowup, a Friday Night Dinner fight to beat all others, the ruin of an editor, an eviction that leaves a main character homeless, a rekindled romance, and well…you’ll see.

Fear Factor, 8pm, NBC. Tonight, mothers and sons pair up to challenge themselves with death-defying stunts and bug eating!

State of the Union Address, 9pm, every darn channel! Stupid speech. Don’t they know how important Tuesday night TV is?!

Supernatural, 9pm, FOX. Hottie brothers continue their fight against ghoulies and beasties.

The Shield, 10pm, FX. This critical darling and fan favorite ups the grit and the gore tonight. Good times!

Tuesday’s post-8pm choices are much weaker than usual, with most networks opting for repeats. And we all know why. Stupid speech.
