How I Met Your Mother
8:30 p.m., Channel 4

Sarah Chalke is back for an episode as Stella/Mother Contender. But all I care about is brokenhearted Barney.

Dancing With the Stars
8 p.m., Channel 5

Cristian rebounds from his injury to dance another day. But he's still no match for twirly-whirly Kristi Yamaguchi.

FAST TIMES
The Paper
10:30 p.m., MTV

The nice thing about this MTV reality show? It gives a pretty accurate portrayal of a high school newspaper staff - cliques, zits, and all. The bad thing: Who really wants to revisit those years? Or watch them on TV, if you're living them right now?

American Experience: George H.W. Bush

9 p.m., Channel 2

That's 41, the father. This two-part series, which premieres tonight, promises a comprehensive look at his legacy.

The Bachelor: The Women Tell All
10:02 p.m., Channel 5

Fifteen women scorned get their revenge.

Flying: Confessions of a Free Woman
9 p.m., Sundance

The first two hours of a six-hour documentary about - well, apparently, everything.

ON DEMAND
Fight Club
Comcast, Free Movies

A dark, sizzling comedy of male rage. Brad Pitt (above in white) stars as an anarchic soap salesman bent on world domination, and Edward Norton is the corporate drone for whom he plays evil angel. The two start an underground "fight club" whose pugilistic members become Pitt's own private neo-fascist army. The film ultimately collapses into explosive silliness, but audaciousness and style carry it until then. (R; runs through May 11)

Jon & Kate Plus 8
9 p.m., TLC

This docu-show about a family with twins and sextuplets ought to be more exciting. But when entire episodes focus on such dramas as shelf-hanging and carpet-installation, your own life looks exciting by comparison. Tonight, the family creates a chore chart.
