Lost News

Bust out the acoustic guitars and crank up the reverb - Eu Claire, Wisconsin's most notable musical export has just been named the music industry's most notable newcomer.

Once Upon a Time reaches back to creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis' Lost roots on Sunday's episode titled "Skin Deep" when guest star Emilie de Ravin plays Belle of the Beauty and the Beast tale.

We can expect emotional moments. The surviving Beach Boys re-unite for a live performance for the first time in 20-plus years.

For many fans sad to see the end of Lost a while back, Fringe has become the show that filled the island-shaped hole in their lives.

TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE: 'Smash,' 8 p.m., NBC. Propelled by a big "Voice" lead-in, Monday's debut drew 11.5 million viewers — the most NBC has had in that slot in more than three years. If you missed it, though, here's a second chance. You'll see the fictional creation of a Broadway musical, via a songwriter (Deborah Messing), producer (Anjelica Huston), director and — especially — the actresses competing to play Marilyn Monroe. Megan Hilty is good; Katharine McPhee is awesome. They do songs — some of them originals from the "Hairspray" composers — in stunning, Broadway-worthy style. TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE II: 'Cougar Town,' 9, 9:30 and 10-11 p.m., ABC. For two seasons, this show has provided erratic comedy that included some great moments. A new season starts Tuesday, but here's a sampling from last year. There's the byplay of these odd friends. In the first episode, they set up a 'council,' with fines; in the second, they have the annual competition to give Jules (Courteney Cox) the best birthday present. There's also a turning point for her son Travis. In the first episode, she's reluctant to interfere with his decision. In the third, everyone follows him to Hawaii, turning it into a vacation. TONIGHT'S ALTERNATIVE: 'Cupid,' 8 p.m., Hallmark; reruns at 10. Eve Lovett (Joely Fisher) seems to have the perfect name, job (talk-show host) and look for a romantic. Alas, she's given up at love. Then an odd guy (Jamie Kennedy) insists he's from 'Cupid, Inc.' Like last year's Hallmark film for Valentine weekend ('Smooch'), this is light and semi-silly. Still, it's pleasantly played and kind of fun. Other choices include: 'America's Most Wanted,' 8-10 p.m., Fox. In a sort of anti-Valentine, this focuses on crimes of passion. 'A Charlie Brown Valentine,' 8-9 p.m., ABC. Charlie finally gets up the nerve to phone the little red-haired girl. Alas, he promptly dials the wrong number. 'Dog Whisperer,' 8 p.m., Nat Geo Wild. The show's 150th episode has a Valentine theme. Cesar Millan helps two likable couples whose relationships are harmed by jealous or angry dogs. 'The Firm,' 9 p.m., NBC. This failing show has been exiled to show new episodes on Saturdays. 'Saturday Night Live,' 11:29 p.m., NBC. This has been a dandy year for Zooey Deschanel, the 'New Girl' star. She has her first time hosting 'Saturday Night Live'; Karmin is the music guest. TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE: Grammy awards, 8-11 p.m., CBS. We can expect emotional moments. The surviving Beach Boys reunite for a live performance (with Maroon 5 and Foster the People) for the first time in 20-plus years. Glen Campbell — who has been touring during early stages of Alzheimer's disease — performs with Blake Shelton and The Band Perry. There will be duets — Rihanna and Coldplay, Carrie Underwood and Tony Bennett, Kelly Clarkson and Jason Aldean — and an electronica tribute with Chris Brown, Foo Fighters, David Guetta and more. Also performing: Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Maceo Parker and Diana Krall. TODAY'S MUST-SEE: 'The Walking Dead,' 1:30-10 p.m., AMC. If you missed some previous zombie action, don't fret. The second season reruns, starting at 1:30 p.m. Then comes the third-season opener at 9 p.m., rerunning at 11:01 p.m. Rick tries to calm people after a horrific discovery; then he and Glenn search for Hershel, who wandered into town. TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE: 'Downton Abbey,' 9-11 p.m., PBS (KQED 9). A week before the season finale, this episode is filled with life-and-death moments. There are major changes for the paraplegic Matthew and others; Spanish flu rushes through the mansion. Thomas has a hoarding scheme, Mary's fiance has a spying scheme, Sybil and Tom Branson (the chauffeur) ponder a new life. Bates' troubles build ... and two kisses come as stunning surprises. Other choices include: Grammy preview, 6-8 p.m., E and TV Guide Network. Both channels will be on the red carpet. '60 Minutes,' 7 p.m., CBS. This episode includes an interview with Adele, whose Grammy performance will be her first live one since her throat surgery. 'Once Upon a Time,' 8 p.m., ABC. On Valentine's Day, the Storybrooke folks have a women's-night-out. In fairy-tale land, there's a beauty-and-the-beast tale, with Emilie de Ravin ('Lost') as Belle. 'Wild Mississippi,' 8-11 p.m., Nat GeoWild. Filmmakers spent a year on the Mississippi River. 'The Man Who Can Fly,' 8 p.m., National Geographic. This guy doesn't fly, but he climbs mountains and leaps off with a 'soaring suit' and parachute. Alongside dull moments are ones of immense beauty. 'Desperate Housewives,' 9 p.m., ABC. Think of this as the anti-Valentine, with love gone bad. Julie returns, six months pregnant. Bree spirals into lust and alcohol. Lynette tries her first affair since separating from Tom; it doesn't go well. 'MLK: The Assassination Tapes,' 9 p.m., Smithsonian; repeats at midnight. Back in 1968, University of Memphis professors wisely saved everything relating to the sanitation workers' strike and the assassination of Martin Luther King. Now those have been woven into a compelling hour. "Luck," 9 p.m., HBO. In an OK episode, the gambling team — with its secret winnings — conspires to buy the horse that Escalante inexplicably risked and lost in a claim race.

" Fringe " fans, there is reason to celebrate -- someone who J.J. Abrams knows quite well already is going to be coming on board for a guest spot.
