As I was starting this review, a commercial for CBS' "Person of Interest" came on, a nice coincidence since like "Touch" (9 tonight, Fox), it too has a post-9/11 perspective.

"Person of Interest" sees the world post-9/11 through darkened lens; Big Brother is watching, we need a crusader to work against a machine that knows when our number is up, and yet the future is murky. "Touch" takes a more soulful view. It suggests that what's been lost in the last decade is what binds us.  It is a show about our need to connect, a near desperate need, and the ways we can and we do, whether we are aware or not.  Unfortunately, while I can get behind that idea, I can't throw my full support behind "Touch."

Nova: Mystery of a Masterpiece (9pm, UNC-TV) - Nova examines the work of art sleuths who tackle "cold case" art mysteries as well as the criminal market in stolen and fraudulent art. Includes a look at image analysis which reveals a portrait purchased for $20,000 to be a lost work of Leonardo da Vinci, which revalues the painting at $100 million.

Criminal Minds (9pm, CBS) - A serial rapist in Houston known as "The Piano Man" resurfaces and assaults his previous victims. Meanwhile, Prentiss deals with the trauma of rejoining the team.

Touch (9pm, Fox) - The debut of a new drama in which a blue-collar New York widower (Kiefer Sutherland) gets help from a social worker and an educator in an attempt to bond with his emotionally troubled son, whose obsession with numbers appears to enable him to predict the future. Adrienne has a review.

CSI (10pm, CBS) - Catherine (Marg Helgenberger, right) makes the painful decision to leave CSI. This is the final episode for Helgenberger, who has been on the show for 12 seasons. She hasn't ruled out returning for an occasional guest spot.

Royal Pains (10pm, USA) - Members of a rock band become ill, forcing Hank and Divya to figure out the cause, but the prescription debacle puts a strain on their working relationship.

Hot in Cleveland (10pm, TV Land) - Victoria's daughter arrives for a visit with the news that she and Melanie's son are engaged. Meanwhile, Joy's blind boyfriend thinks she's 26 and Elka prank-calls the New York Yankees third baseman.

Who would think Jack -- violent, dark, angry -- would become a messenger for the makings of a true lasting peace?

In those last hours, Jack did wrong things for the right reasons. But be clear: this wasn't really about revenge for Renee's murder. It was about President Taylor's betrayal. Jack was a patriot, after all. He loved his country more than any woman. Remember, at the beginning of the season, he was finally happy. He had forgiven himself for his sins. But he turned his back on that to help America. Again.

Can President Logan ever be killed?!

Why was "24's" macho super agent Kiefer Sutherland wearing a dress during his appearance on Wednesday night's "Late Show with David Letterman?"

You can blame The New England Patriots.

Sutherland's homely frock seemed to take Letterman by surprise, but it made for a funny interview.

Check out the video below for the whole story:

I asked my husband whether he loved me enough to murder a federal agent, threaten the lives of thousands of citizens, terrorize an innocent man, and attach a bomb to a friend, if someone had had me killed.

He said yes.

Isn't that sweet?

Not Private Investigator. Perpetually Imperiled.

It's much cooler than the cougar incident, and it definitely is a nice twist. Wasn't Kim just supposed to come back to save Jack from a toxic death with her compatible stem cells?

These underground criminal types are master planners. They methodically planned the whole Tony defection/Muslim stealing/bomb on the subway plan and still had a plan B, in case it didn't work. Is it because Tony knows Jack as well as Jack thought he knew Tony that they knew Jack would send Kim away and that they should keep tabs on her?
