Superficial
Nip/Tuck
10 p.m., FX
For some of us, this episode will be sheer heaven. A few former nighttime soap divas guest star, as socialites looking to have work done. On the list: Joan Van Ark and Donna Mills from "Knots Landing," Shari Belafonte from "Hotel," and Deborah Shelton from "Dallas." Hard to imagine there’s much flesh left to alter on Van Ark. I love her, but the lady is tight as a drum.

Super Tuesday Coverage
Channels 2, 4, 5, 7
Super duper.

American Idol
8 p.m., Channel 25
Superciliousness.

The Best Years of Our Lives
8 p.m., TCM
Superb.

SUPERMAN
House
9 p.m., Channel 25
This is the last new episode for a while, so savor it, people. House treats a woman who suddenly converted to Hasidic Judaism after living the high life as a music producer. She collapses at her wedding, and the team goes into diagnosis mode. This is a show I will miss dearly. "House," come back home soon.

Reaper
8 p.m., Channel 56
Supernatural.

Rock of Love 2
9 and 10 p.m., VH1
Superfluous.

Nicolas Cage stars in this absurd popcorn movie about a psychic whom the FBI needs to help stop terrorists (they speak French!) from destroying Los Angeles with a nuclear bomb. The filmmakers have fun playing with Cage's ability to see into the future, but their attempts to psych us out are desperate. The movie wants to detonate stuff and have it not mean anything. Julianne Moore plays a fed, and Jessica Biel plays the bait. (PG-13; runs thruogh March 25) - Wesley Morris
