Wednesday's Best Bets on TV

“Pushing Daisies” (8 p.m., ABC): Will this show’s couple ever kiss? Doubtful.

“Friday Night Lights” (9 p.m., DirecTV): “Friday Night Lights,” the football-and-family drama that glowed the past two autumns on NBC, returns for its third season at 9 p.m. — but not on NBC. In an unusual arrangement, DirecTV subscribers will see these 13 weekly episodes first. Starring Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton and a team of other fine actors, the Emmy- and Peabody-winning series will air on NBC in early 2009.

“Private Practice” (9 p.m., ABC): The drama moves back to the medical field and slightly away from the bedroom.

“Dirty Sexy Money” (10:01 p.m., ABC): The Darling family is back to stir up more chaos for a second season.
