The Bachelor: Jason and Molly's Wedding
8/7c ABC
Let's see: 14 Bachelor and five Bachelorette seasons so far, and when Jason and Molly say their "I do's" (the wedding was taped a little more than a week ago), it'll make marriage No. 2 for the franchise. But hey, romance fans, who's counting!? Gavin DeGraw and "American Idol" alum Jason Castro are the serenaders, and the guest list includes the 2008 Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas (who spurned Jason), and three of the 2009 bachelorettes Jason spurned, not to mention Bachelorette legends Ryan and Trista, whose 2003 wedding received ratings that ABC would dearly love to match tonight.

Winter Olympics
8/7c NBC
There aren't a lot of events scheduled for coverage this evening, leaving plenty of time for what should be one of the most memorable competitions of these Games — the finals of ice dancing. With spectacular routines and two contending U.S. teams (Meryl Davis and Charle White, and Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto), the ratings should be right up there with Dancing with the Stars. "We've had to keep stepping up the athletic program," says Belbin. "The lifts are so much more acrobatic." Also on the docket is the high-flying aerial final of freestyle skiing, with U.S. contenders Ryan St. Onge, the 2009 World Champion, and Jeret "Speedy" Peterson, known for attempting the sport's most difficult tricks. "I just don't think it's possible to do more than three flips and five twists," says Peterson. And the last medals in ski jumping are up for grabs in the team large hill final, with teen sensation Gregor Schlierenzauer leading the favored Austrians.

Tracey Ullman's State of the Union
10 pm/ET Showtime
She's back! The prodigiously talented and incredibly amusing Tracey Ullman returns for a second season of skewering Americans in the news (and celebrity visitors to America). She kicks things into comic high gear with a wickedly funny spoof of Heather Mills (Paul McCartney's ex) as a reality-TV star. Other highlights include Ullman as Texas-ranch retiree Laura Bush presiding over a garage sale featuring "doodads and objets d'art" from her White House stay, and a send-up of Celine Dion doing post-Katrina calamity cleanup in New Orleans.
