Your daily planner for what to watch this week: * “General Hospital” (Thursday, 3 p.m., ABC) Now that the ABC soap mantle rests solely on the shoulders of this mob opera, its lone remaining soaperstar, Anthony Geary — who’s played the scoundrel Luke (of Luke & Laura) since he had hair — is going to have to bring it for today’s special intervention episode.

* “CSI: NY” (Friday, 9 p.m., CBS) On the bubble for renewal, this procedural is doing its best to make the guest-star list sparkle: “Easy Rider” Peter Fonda plays Mac’s first partner, and NY Jets Coach Rex Ryan and GM Mike Tannenbaum appear as themselves.

* “Doctor Who in America” (Saturday, 10 p.m., BBCA) You’ve already been sucked in by the time-traveling doctor’s voyage to 1960s, as evidenced by the ratings spike for the season opener, so make your geekiness complete by watching this behind-the-scenes travelogue of the Whovians’ trip to the colonies, er, the United States.

* “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” (Sunday, 9 p.m., USA) The best character to come out of this franchise was Vincent D’Onofrio’s damaged detective Robert Goren, who returns for the swan-song season of the “L&O” red-headed stepchild.

* “House” (Monday, 8 p.m., Fox) If you’re still upset about the cancellation of “Terriers,” you can catch series star Donal Logue challenge Hugh Laurie’s title as TV’s most lovable curmudgeon when Logue guest stars as a patient. Also, Candice Bergen returns as Cuddy’s mommy dearest, who’s now threatening to sue the hospital for malpractice.

* “The Good Wife” (Tuesday, 10 p..m., CBS) It’s been three weeks since the last new episode of this anything-but-a-courtroom drama, which left us wondering what Alicia’s (Julianna Margulies) next move would be after discovering that Peter’s (Chris Noth) former conquest was none other than her best friend, Kalinda (Archie Panjabi).
