Monk (9pm, USA) - Monk is finally reinstated to the San Francisco police force, and his first case, tracking down a serial killer, is more challenging than he anticipated. We see the return of Trudy tonight (Brooke Adams) and the show has promised us resolution on her murder, so expect developments on that. After this, only two episodes left. 

20/20 (10pm, ABC) - Another day, another Sarah Palin interview. 

Medium (9pm, CBS) - In an episode directed by David Arquette, Ariel (left) has a new boyfriend and Allison thinks he's a murderer. Meanwhile, Bridgette gets in trouble for posting troubling videos of a man on the internet. Kids today...

Mo'Nique Show (11 pm, BET) - A reunion of the cast of the CW sitcom "The Game."

Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (1am, CBS) - Craig's guests tonight are crooner/actor Harry Connick Jr. and author Peter Sagal. I hope that's the same Peter Sagal as the Peter Sagal host (right) of NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" show. And I hope he brings Carl Kassell.

Medium (9pm, CBS) - Allison rents an SUV with a satellite radio which picks up peoples' conversations. People who have committed murder, no doubt.

Law & Order (8pm, NBC) - Two new back-to-back episodes tonight. The first one is about the murder of a rich young woman with a connection to a drug cartel. The second one is about a suspicious drunk driving death and stars Rich Sommer, right (Harry Crane from "Mad Men."). This episode seems to be loosely ripped from the Diane Schuler case in Long Island which happened this past summer.

Monk (9pm, USA) - Monk on a camping trip should be something to behold. I'm immediately reminded of the classic "I hate nature" episode when Monk was a protected witness and forced to stay in a secluded cabin in the woods. If he has to sleep in a tent in this one, God help them all. 

White Collar (10pm, USA) - John Ventimiglia (whiney chef Artie Bucco from "The Sopranos") finally gets to play a real mobster. His characters asks the FBI to help him track down a Bible which was stolen from him. 

Ghost Whisperer (8pm, CBS) - On the night before Halloween, there is no ghostier place to be than CBS. First up, the headless horseman from Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" comes to life and haunts Melinda. She later fears for Aiden when the book shows up at his school. (Relax Melinda, it's called a "library.")

Medium (9pm, CBS) - The cast is inserted into clips of the 1968 horror classic "Night of the Living Dead," which plays out in Allison's dreams. The dream sequences give her clues that help solve the murder of a funeral home director. Aida Turturro guest stars.

Numb3rs (10pm, CBS) - CBS keeps the spooky going with "Numb3rs," in which paranormal activity is suspected after a dead body shows up at a decommissioned air base.

Monk (9pm, USA) - Almost equally scary, Mr. Monk takes in a dog while he searches for its owner who has vanished. Don't forget "White Collar" at 10pm after "Monk."

Supernanny (8pm, ABC) - In the season six premiere, Jo encourages a couple to work on their relationship when a father dotes on his three biological sons, but doesn't get along with his teenage stepdaughter.

Law & Order (8pm, NBC) - A controversial episode in which a doctor who performs late-term abortions is murdered by a pro-life activist. This isn't the first time "Law & Order" has taken on the topic of abortion or the killing of doctors who perform them, but the moral debate within this episode is not as black and white as you may assume. Richard Thomas guest stars.

Dollhouse (9pm, Fox) - Sierra's introduction to the Dollhouse is revealed when she faces her connection to Rossum Corporation. Keith Carradine stars.

Monk (9pm, USA) - Sharona returns. Need I say more? Okay, okay. Sharona (Bitty Schram) returns to San Francisco to sort out some red tape after her uncle's death, but Monk suspects foul play. Investigating the uncle's death, Monk works with both Sharona and Natalie at the same time. Jack Wagner also guest stars.

White Collar (10pm, USA) - The latest quirky crime drama from USA features a charismatic con man who partners with the FBI to help solve white collar crimes to keep himself out of prison.

Ugly Betty (8pm, ABC) - In tonight's season 4 premiere, Betty (America Ferrera, right) is no longer the dowdy assistant, but now the associate features editor and sporting a much "sleeker" look. She's also clashing with her ex-boyfriend Matt, who is now her boss. Lynn Redgrave and Kristen Johnston guest star in tonight's 2-hour show.

Law & Order (8pm, NBC) - Unless you've been living in a cave in Pakistan, you should definitely recognize the "ripped from the headlines" elements of tonight's show. There's a murder surrounding a family with 10 kids involved in a reality show, plus an emotionally unstable copycat "mother of eight" who would do anything to take the spotlight from them. Watch for a couple of uncharacteristically funny moments between Connie and Mike, when Connie gets suckered into a role on the reality show, and a deliciously crazy kicker at the very end. Jim Gaffigan guest stars.

Monk (9pm, USA) - Natalie plans a surprise birthday party for Mr. Monk while he investigates the strange death of a maintenance man. Virginia Madsen guest stars.

Psych (10pm, USA) - This fall finale could end up being a "very special episode of 'Psych.'" Shawn (James Roday, left) stumbles into the middle of robbery and ends up being shot and taken hostage by a psychopath.

Rescue Ink Unleashed (10pm, NGC) - Some of the guys travel to Philly to look for a dog murderer who hanged a pit bull in a school yard, while the other guys go to Kentucky to rescue a dog from a fighting ring.

Monk (9pm, USA) - Monk loses his health insurance and has to resort to group therapy with Dr. Bell. He thinks there's a murderer in the group targeting fellow patients, which would be great because then he could totally write-off the doctor bill.

Psych (10pm, USA) - More terrific casting on "Psych" -- David Naughton (left) stars as a doctor who believes he's a werewolf and a threat to the public. He hires Shawn and Gus to help him. Awwwhoooo...Werewolves of Santa Barbara...

Rescue Ink Unleashed (10pm, NGC) - This show about a group of tough bikers who rescue abused and neglected animals in New York City is one of my new favorites. These guys have no legal authority to remove abused animals or "persuade" owners to behave. But trust me, people do what they tell them to do. Tonight they investigate a man whose neighbor reports he has been trapping, torturing, and killing animals. This will be one of those episodes where I'm yelling at my TV, "Turn the cameras off and beat him!"

Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement From Springfield, Massachusetts (6:30, ESPN) - UNC and Chicago Bulls superstar Michael Jordan is among the 2009 class being enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Also, David Robinson, John Stockton, C. Vivian Stringer, and Jerry Sloan.

Vampire Diaries (8pm, CW) - If you missed Thursday night's premiere, you can catch a repeat tonight. Then watch a repeat of the "Melrose Place" premiere from Tuesday night at 9pm. 

Glee (9pm, Fox) - Ditto for "Glee." I'm so glad Fox is showing the "Glee" premiere for a second time. They can't show it too many times for me! If you didn't see it Wednesday, please please watch it tonight. Cheerios coach Jane Lynch (right) is the show stealer.

Monk (9pm, USA) - Jay Mohr guest stars as a defense attorney who gets Monk on the stand and questions his unusual investigative techniques. 

20/20 (10pm, ABC) - LaToya Jackson talks to Barbara Walters. If that's not enough, LaToya will also appear on "The View" on Monday. 

Monk (6am, USA) - I can think of no better way for USA to kick off their big Awards Marathon Weekend than with a whole day of "Monk." Tony Shalhoub, who plays detective Adrian Monk, has been nominated for seven
consecutive Emmys for the role, and has won three times. "Monk" is a USA original drama. The marathon runs from 6am to 11pm. Look for some great guest stars here, including Sarah Silverman, John Turturro, Stanley Tucci, Jon Favreau, Howie Mandel, and Gena Rowlands. 

AquaPalooza on Lake Martin (8pm, CMT) - Alan Jackson performs for thousands of fans in boats on Alabama's Lake Martin.

Jockeys (9pm, Animal Planet) - This is the second season of a  great reality series for lovers of the highly competitive and dangerous world of horse racing. Tonight, there's some tension building between the male jockeys and the female jockeys, and a former star jockey gets another shot at the big time. 

The Making of Sgt. Pepper (9pm, VH1 Classic) - A retrospective of the Beatles' 1966-67 Abbey Road Studios recording sessions.

Making Over America with Trinny and Susannah (10pm, TLC) - The series debut of a new show featuring the women behind the original (aka British) version of "What Not to Wear."
