Which, if you're into politics—hey, you get to watch a presidential debate tonight! And if you're not into politics—hey, after tonight there won't be any more presidential debates to mess with your TV lineup! Of course, baseball might still mess with your TV lineup. But hey, if you're into baseba—what? You just want to know what else is on tonight? Right. Okay:

In "It's All Fun and Games," the gals get into some "irresponsible fun"... which appears to involve Adrianna encouraging Silver to do some kind of bungee-cord thing on the beach. Meanwhile, Alec smooches on Naomi. Oh, and there's also some detective asking about Vanessa's whereabouts. Ruh-roh!

SEASON 2 FINALE, 8pm, Syfy
Alphas
Fans of Summer Glau will get another dose of the actress in tonight's Season 2 finale of Alphas, "God's Eye," in which a desperate Dr. Rosen tries to track down Stanton Parish for some final words (intense!), all while suffering vivid hallucinations of his daughter. Meanwhile, the rest of the team members find themselves battling time in order to stop the immortal villain from carrying out his deadly plans (mwaahhahaha!).

Presidential Debates
The third and final debate! President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will square off one last time tonight at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, so we can only assume there will be plenty of cringeworthy confrontation between the candidates to cap things off before voters head to the polls in November. "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer will moderate.

10:30pm, MTV
The Inbetweeners
In "Reading Gives You Wings," our boy Simon tries to school his girlfriend on her stealing habits. Meanwhile, Will organizes some kind of protest against the school library. And maybe something about Red Bull, if the episode title is any indication?

By now you know the drill, right? There's another presidential debate happening tonight—the second of three between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney taking place before next month's election—and because we basically live in the future, you can watch it live online (as well as on most of the major broadcast networks). This one's taking place at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York and will be moderated by CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley; it'll also employ a "town hall" format that allows members of the audience pose questions for the candidates to answer (Politico's got a good explanation of how it'll work). Anyway, because we love you, we've got the live feed all queued up right here:

Whether you're planning to tune in because you want to be an informed citizen or simply because you want to understand the political jokes that will inevitably flood your Facebook news feed, the fun begins at 6pm Pacific / 7pm Mountain / 8pm Central / 9pm Eastern.

You can also watch the debate at the following online outlets:

– Hulu

– AOL

– ABC News
