Watch it

“No Reservations” (7 p.m., Travel Channel). A special, with Tony talking to chefs and food writers about their culinary obsessions.

“Chuck” (8 p.m., NBC). After a couple inconsistent seasons, this series really seems to be hitting its groove now. It’s becoming one of my favorites, and it looks like a pretty solid bet to be renewed for a fourth season. Tonight, Chuck loses the ability to flash, so he gets left behind while the gang go out on a mission.

“Gossip Girl” (9 p.m., The CW). New episodes are back. It’s all about couple tonight: Nate and Serena think about getting back together, Dan and Vanessa try not to get together, Blair is wary of Chuck’s obsession with the woman (his mother?) at his father’s grave, and Jenny takes bad-boy Damien to a state dinner. (Which, whaaaat? How would Jenny get an invite to a state dinner?!?)

“Damages” (10 p.m., FX). Tom follows the money trail to the Caribbean, and Ellen must choose between Patty and her D.A. boss. (Um, Patty, of course. She’s way scarier.))

“Colbert Report” (11:30 p.m., Comedy Central). Tom Hanks is the guest, talking about the upcoming WWII miniseries “The Pacific.”

Record it

“How I Met Your Mother” (8 p.m., CBS). Robin gets revenge on Barney by setting him up with a player-taming self-help author, played by Jennifer Lopez.

“Top Gear” (8 p.m., BBC America). The guys try to make a VW commercial, and Jay Leno takes a spin around the test track. And hopefully realizes how utterly lame his Green Car Challenge was in comparison.

Record it

“Life Unexpected” (8 p.m., The CW). Unhappy couple Cate and Ryan pose as a happy couple, and Baze tries to cheer up a sad Lux. Meh, the whole thing’s gotten a little too cliched and cutesy for me.

Skip it

“The Bachelor: Jason and Molly’s Wedding” (8 p.m., ABC). It’ll be 90 minutes of filler, and you know it. If you’re that desperate to watch, just tune in for the last half hour. Besides, what’s the point of watching a whole wedding when you don’t even get the benefit of free food and an open bar?

“Trauma” (9 p.m., NBC). This is still on? Really?
