Three's company We're still in the Hollywood rounds on "American Idol," but it's not too early to declare a winner: the new judges' panel. The tension-free trio appears to be having a grand time while offering some of the soundest advice the show has ever had. Kudos to Harry Connick Jr., who proves it's possible to be both tough and tender. 7 p.m., KMSP, Ch. 9
