BEST BETS FOR MONDAY, MAR. 15, 2010

	CHUCK NBC, 8 p.m. ET The failure of Jay Leno in prime time has given this show a new lease on life – but I’m not convinced it’s necessarily a long-term lease. The show’s writers have found ways to keep all the characters at arm’s length, yet haven’t tightened the relationships of any of them. Tonight’s show gives Adam Baldwin’s Casey a chance at center stage, but, again, somewhat apart from the others. And Sarah’s off-again, off-again relationship with Chuck? Too little, too often.
	HOUSE Fox, 8 p.m. ET This new patient isn’t the first patient whom House has treated who is incapable of communicating – but locked inside this latest patient is a series of vivid hallucinations, which include the physicians trying to treat her. House as an angry hallucination? Seems positively plausible.
	THE BREAKFAST CLUB Encore, 8 p.m. ET At the Oscars, the actors in this 1985 movie reunited to salute their communal and influential filmmaker, writer-director John Hughes. Tonight you can go back 25 years and see them in their youthful prime: Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall.
	24 Fox, 9 p.m. ET Last year on this show, it was the President’s daughter who was, for a while, threatened by terrorists. On tonight’s show, it’s the same plot, different country. But, once again, Jack is there to attempt a rescue.
	DAMAGES FX, 10 p.m. ET Patty is getting nastier and nastier, as is this case, as both the evidence and the witnesses keep shifting and vanishing.
	SECRET DIARY OF A CALL GIRL Showtime, 10 p.m. ET As this season nears its end, Hannah decides to pad her upcoming memoir by experiencing things from the other side of the fence – by ordering a male escort for herself.
