it’s pretty bad when even rock stars fail in dating. But not only is Plain White T’s lead guitarist Tim Lopez, pictured, one of the three bachelors on “Ready for Love” (NBC, 9 p.m.), looking for his own Delilah, but the show is also produced by Eva Longoria, who has said that she knows personally how hard it is to date. Give me a break.
Here’s how the show works: Each of the three guys get 12 girls and professional matchmakers trim the field to four each. From this harem, the guy chooses one, maybe. It’s the latest in the unnecessary trend of two hour reality shows. Finally, it’s hosted by Giuliana and Bill Rancic.
A new “Frontline” (PBS, 9 p.m., check local listings) returns to Syria for an uncommonly close look at the civil war with jarring footage from both a rebel village and, even more rare, inside the regime’s response.
Another night and another national championship game with Louisville on the line. Tonight it’s the NCAA Women’s Championship from New Orleans with Connecticut vs. Louisville (ESPN, 8:30 p.m.).
The latest spinoff from the “Real Housewives” is “The Kandi Factory” (Bravo, 10 p.m.), in which Kandi Burruss, of Atlanta, operates her own reality talent show for singers.
The first cable season for “Cougar Town” (TBS, 10 p.m.) ends with a toast or two, we’re guessing.
“Ladies Man: A Made Movie” (MTV, 9 p.m.) is a new made for TV movie that does not star Tim Meadows doing his old “SNL” skit. Instead it’s about an average guy in high school who doesn’t have a chance with a girl until he’s made over by a sorority president, in the tradition of MTV’s “Made” series.
Jess throws a bachelorette party for Cece in honor of her arranged marriage tonight on “New Girl” (Fox, 9 p.m.).
Kendra Wilkinson said that joining “Splash” (ABC, 8 p.m.) was a big mistake, so she quit last week. My big mistake was ever watching.
Statistically speaking, “Six Little McGhees” (TLC, 10 p.m.) could triple in size and still not reach “19 Kids and Counting” (TLC, 9 p.m.).
There’s such variety on cable TV! Tonight you could watch “Pawn Stars” (History, 8 p.m.) and “Hardcore Pawn” (TruTV, 9 p.m.). You could watch “Storage Hunters” (TruTV, 9:30 p.m.) or stick with “Storage Wars” (A&E, 8 p.m.).
They’re learning politically-inspired numbers on “Dance Moms” (Lifetime, 9 p.m.), which could include The Gridlock and the Logjam.
Lisa Vanderpump fainted, blacked out and tied for lowest judges’ score on “Dancing with the Stars” (ABC, 9 p.m.). And yet, somebody else might be voted off in tonight’s results show.
With any luck, tonight is the last of the blind auditions on “The Voice” (NBC, 8 p.m.).
Robert Osborne chooses films tonight on Turner Classic Movies and he picks 1940s musicals: “My Gal Sal” (8 p.m.), “Orchestra Wives” (10 p.m.) and “Carnegie Hall” (midnight) before shifting to a couple of 1946 dramas, “Three Strangers” (2:30 a.m.) and “The Verdict” (4:15 a.m.).
In hockey it’s Chicago at Minnesota (NBC Sports, 8 p.m.).
