Life Unexpected

Imagine if Rory from Gilmore Girls were given up for adoption at birth and bounced around the foster care system for 15 years. And when she finally tracks down her biological mom and dad in order to become legally emancipated, she finds each of them to have the emotional maturity of a turnip. That's Life's Lux (Britt Robertson). Even if you're not fond of CW shows like Gossip Girl and 90210, you should check this out. It's an entirely different creation — one with the heart of old WB shows like Gilmore and Everwood. The writing is sharp, and the cast is full of faces you'll be happy to see back on TV — Shiri Appleby (Roswell) plays Lux's radio-DJ mom, Cate, while Kerr Smith (Dawson's Creek) is Cate's fiancé. The real revelation, though, is Robertson (late of CBS' Swingtown), a magnetic actress who plays Lux as brainy, self-assured, and someone you'll love spending 60 minutes with. — Henry Goldblatt

One Tree Hill

Paying a visit to One Tree Hill is somewhat akin to taking a trip to Crazytown, in the sense that logic is useless and Daphne Zuniga is the best actress. This week's episode is a typically loopy outing with not one but four (!) performances by budding music star Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti), including a karaoke-level cover of Pat Benatar's ''We Belong.'' But thanks to a ridiculous last-minute twist involving the return of Haley's bad-girl sis, the episode is almost worth sitting through for the entire hour. I said almost. C — Tim Stack

Be Good Johnny Weir

This series about the Olympic figure skater kicks off with a documentary about his rise (three national wins) and fall (well, falls at recent competitions). Weir is flamboyant and provocative, and he describes his costumes as ''sparkly onesies.'' Pretty fabulous. B+
