Lots to choose from this week on TV

Don't miss

The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards - It's television's big night - a night when industry heavyweights babble on and on about the medium's artistic merits, while conveniently overlooking debacles like Jersey Shore. At least this year brings some fresh blood to the proceedings with newbies such as Glee, Modern Family and The Good Wife presenting legitimate threats to the old guard.

Still, don't be surprised if The Amazing Race - ho hum - picks up its eighth straight trophy in the reality competition category. Jimmy Fallon hosts the event from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, 8 tonight, NBC.
