DRAMA
AMC, which last year introduced the critically acclaimed Mad Men, now brings us a borderline madman. Walt White (Bryan Cranston) is a put-upon high school chemistry teacher singed to pale ash by the elements of life: He's humiliated that he has to make ends meet working part-time at a car wash, and now he's been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. In a crazy fit of inspiration, he sets up a crystal-meth lab with a former student turned dealer. It's a brutal business, and the pair soon have to dispose of rivals (and rivals' corpses). Cranston, best known for expert light turns in comedies like Malcolm in the Middle, plays White with such drab, focused desperation it may take you a while to realize the show is often closer to grubby, grisly comedy. Bad gets good, slowly.
ABC, Mondays, 8 p.m. ET
REALITY
The two-hour auditions episode of this new series, which pits Dancing with the Stars judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli against each other as they coach two teams of singer-dancers, was exhausting. It felt as if every American under 25 were trying out for A Chorus Line. Inaba and Tonioli are certainly contrasting personalities: She's sunnily charming (and looks lovely not seated behind a judge's desk). Tonioli has a showier, punchy presence. Maybe once they captain the teams there'll be a clash of energies. So far they don't seem ready to tangle, let alone tango.
MY SO-CALLED LIFE (DVD) Canceled by the same network geniuses battling the writers' guild, MSCL's 19 episodes are like potato chips—can't consume just one. Get the new DVD box set and succumb to a marathon of authentic teen angst, secret crushes and pre-cell-phone gossiping. —ALLISON ADATO
PROJECT RUNWAY (Bravo) The fourth-season sew-off has been fierce, as hotshot contestant Christian would say, thanks to delectable challenges like creating couture from candy (a Twizzlers dress—yum). Still craving more? Check out Runway's Canadian version on YouTube. Iman hosts! —MICHELLE TAUBER

EVER WANT TO TEAM UP? Bob and I would be great on The Amazing Race. He's good with maps.
THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN GLADIATORS
NBC's bruisin' new hit has fans nostalgic for the squad from the old syndicated version (1989-96). PEOPLE's Nicholas White caught up with three still-tough characters.
NITRO REAL NAME: Dan Clark, 43 "We built American Gladiators on our broken knees, our sore backs, our jammed fingers," says Clark, an actor, screenwriter and consultant on the new show. "Not a day goes by when people don't [recognize] me."
ICE REAL NAME: Lori Fetrick, 44 "My character was kind of me," says Fetrick. "I'll go out, kick your butt, smile and walk away." She sells real estate in L.A. "I'm an entrepreneur—I found out that's my strength. It'd be fun to be on Celebrity Apprentice!"
LASER REAL NAME: Jim Starr, 45 "In my seven seasons I had 12 surgeries," says Starr, who now works in fitness-product development. "Are these new [Gladiators] as athletic as the old ones? It's going to be a lot of fun to find that out."
