Chew on this
Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern
10 p.m., Travel Channel
If you are a vegetarian or a vegan, you might get grossed out by this show, which returns for its second season tonight. In fact, any person who eats food might get a little twist in his or her stomach, as Zimmern the adventurous gourmand tours Beijing and develops a taste for donkey meat. That's very bray-zen of him.

American Idol
8 p.m., Channel 25
Imagine David winning, I wonder if you can.

Women Behind Bars
9 p.m., WE
They want to live!

Benny & Joon
8 p.m., Flix
Quality, comfort, and price - that's nice.

NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT
Safe
9:35 p.m., Sundance Channel
Todd Haynes, who directed "I'm Not There," made this intriguing 1995 movie. Julianne Moore plays a depressed, affluent woman who gradually believes that she is allergic to her environment - to food additives, to air pollution, to hygiene products. Is it in her mind? The movie explores the ambiguities of her situation like a postmodern horror story whose horrors are invisible.

LA Ink
10 p.m., TLC
Can Kat do 400 tattoos in 24 hours? Yes he can! Yes he can!

Birth of a Civilization
8 p.m., National Geographic
12 millennia? We don't look a day over 11.

ON DEMAND
She-Devil
Comcast
Marital vendetta comedy. As a jilted wife, Roseanne Barr is too focused on self-improvement and not enough on revenge. And Ed Begley, the man over whom she and Meryl Streep are fighting, is wishy-washy. Only Streep, as a steely romance novelist who cloaks herself in a pink haze, comes through stylishly. (PG-13; runs through April 10)
