The return of 'Nip/Tuck' to FX is a Wednesday TV pick

'Nip/Tuck'

Before "Glee," Ryan Murphy created this way-out-there plastic-surgery drama. If you've never watched ... beware. This ain't no high school musical. The performances can be great (especially Dylan Walsh, Julian McMahon and Joely Richardson), but the story lines tend toward the extremely soapy. Season 6 premiere at 10 tonight, FX (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
