The Unusuals (10pm, ABC) - It's become all too common lately, having to say goodbye to a good drama that ABC doesn't have the fortitude to stick with for more than a few weeks before axing (they will, however, give you all the reality junk like "Meet the Newlyweds" and "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" that you can choke down). Tonight is the series finale of "The Unusuals," a show that definitely grows on you the more you watch. (But it costs more to make than a reality show, so there you go). The episode a couple weeks ago when Banks was "trapped" in his own apartment and witnessed a murder across the street a la "Rear Window" was suspenseful, scary, and very entertaining. Oh well, at least USA, TNT, and AMC are still making dramas.

Top Chef Masters (10pm, Bravo) - Master chefs prepare island-inspired meals for the executive producers and writers of the TV show "Lost." Chefs tonight include Wylie Dufresne, Suzanne Tracht, Graham Elliot Bowles, and Elizabeth Faulkner. 

Wedding Day (8pm, TNT) - A new documentary series from Mark Burnett (right, producer of "Survivor") featuring wedding stories of couples with "poignant backstories" (that means they are going to try to make you cry a lot). The first show features a couple who decides to go ahead with their wedding even though a near-fatal car crash put the bride-to-be in a six-day coma.

A Decade Behind Bars: Return to the Farm (9pm, NGC) - National Geographic Channel's follow-up to the 1998 Oscar-nominated documentary, "The Farm: Life Inside Angola Prison." 

Saving Grace (10pm, TNT) - Season three opens as Grace's investigation into an anti-government group goes awry and injures a young woman she's trying to help.

Real Housewives of New Jersey (10pm, Bravo) - The first season finale has everything you could hope for in a reality show about spoiled New Jersey housewives with shady pasts and colorful family histories: cursing, threats, table throwing, and physical violence. Teresa (at left, being restrained by her hubby Joe) may be the one who throws the table and goes after Danielle, but Carolina Manzo is the one who sends shivers up my spine.

Kathy Griffin's celebrity trashing (and cursing) has gotten her famously "banned" from a whole host of popular TV talk shows.

Tonight, the ban from "The Late Show with David Letterman" is lifted. Griffin, star of Bravo's "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List," will appear as Dave's guest tonight, and you better believe the alleged ban will come up. She last appeared on his show on July 24, 1997.

Kathy told Larry King in 2006 that she thinks she was banned from Letterman's show for cursing, but that perhaps she is also just "not his cup of tea."

She told "W" magazine that same year, "I swore on his show, and he's a [bleeping] old lady."

So You Think You Can Dance (8pm, Fox) - The top 20 dancers perform.

Top Chef Masters (10pm, Bravo) - A spinoff of "Top Chef" in which 24 master chefs compete to win $100,000 for charity. Tonight features Hubert Keller, Christopher Lee, Tim Love, and Michael Schlow.

E! True Hollywood Story (10pm, E!) - Cancer fighter Patrick Swayze (right) is the focus of E!'s latest bio show. A&E has not renewed Swayze's cop drama "The Beast."

The Unusuals (10pm, ABC) - Walsh and Shraeger investigate the homicide of a drug-store owner who was shot while running naked down the street. Delahoy finally gets an MRI to check the status of his brain tumor.

Mental (8pm, Fox) - The late David Carradine (left) stars as an author/professor who ends up in a catatonic state after being struck by lightning. Jack tries to bring him back using a risky and unorthodox treatment.  You can watch a short clip of Carradine on "Mental."

Real Housewives of New Jersey (10pm, Bravo) - Speaking of mental patients, Danielle's relationship with her boyfriend crumbles, and a birthday lunch deteriorates into a monumental cat fight. Could this be the episode where Teresa flips over a table and tries to strangle Danielle with her bare hands? 

Little Couple (10pm, TLC) - Back-to-back episodes of the reality series chroncling the lives of little people Jen and Bill. Tonight, Jen and Bill shop for their first home, celebrate their first wedding anniversary, and stress out over medical bills.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 (9pm, TLC) - Emeril Lagasse shows up to give the family cooking lessons.

The Closer (9pm, TNT) - The season five premiere is strong, folks. The Major Crimes Division works the gruesome execution style murder of a family, which weighs particularly heavily on Lt. Sanchez. Also, Lt. Provenza is going through a personal crisis (an affair of the heart, it seems), and Kitty is sick. You might want to have a tissue handy -- I cried three separate times.

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (10pm, Bravo) - Season five finds Kathy "trying out" a life on the A-List and working connections to get a Grammy nomination. Most of the episode centers around the first victim of Kathy's A-List education -- Bette Midler. Midler, who entertains Kathy while doing her big show in Las Vegas, was a pretty good sport even though it often seemed she wanted to be somewhere else (or with someone else).

Weeds (10pm, Showtime) - Season five premiere for "Weeds" also. Nancy ponders her relationship with Mexican crime boss Esteban. 

Nurse Jackie ( 10:30pm, Showtime) - A new black comedy starring Edie Falco as a New York City ER nurse with a painkiller addition.

Let's face it: "The Fashion Show" (tonight at 10) is Bravo's response to losing "Project Runway" and that's OK. It happens to be good.

Bravo knows how to do these shows; the network's reality fare is ridiculously addictive.

The "Show" is hosted by designer Isaac Mizrahi and singer Kelly Rowland (one of the women who was with Beyonce in Destiny's Child). Isaac, I love. If you've seen him in anything you know he's funny and smart and insightful and incisive. The man had a one-man show Off-Broadway, so you know he can perform.

Bravo's Top Chef Tour stopped in Raleigh today to cook up some local goodness at the North Carolina Farmer's Market.

Former Top Chef contestants Carla Hall (finalist from season 5) and CJ Jacobson (season 3) performed in three live shows today, using food purchased from Farmer's Market vendors. They cooked in front of an audience, taking questions about cooking and about being on Bravo's hit show.

In the morning show, CJ prepared a watermelon salad with a vinaigrette dressing made with raspberries, king crab, radish, mint, shallots, chilies, and arugula. 

When CJ was showing the audience how to press the raspberries through a chinois, Carla reminded him, "We're in Raleigh. It's a strainer."

Kelly Bensimon is quickly turning into one Housewife you do not want to cross.

First she was arrested for assault, and now she is being accused of stealing the jewelry designs she shamelessly hawked on this week's Real Housewives of New York episode (not to mention the  criminally catty "This is you, this is me" exchange with Bethenny a couple weeks ago).

Apparently that owl design Kelly was so proud of (see necklace in photo) was actually designed by Celeste Greenberg, who worked with Kelly at Elle Accessories. Greenberg is suing Kelly over the stolen property.

What I'm wondering is when will they please arrest Kelly for jogging in the middle of traffic on Fifth Avenue. I mean, even if that's allowed, who would actually do that??

When Kathy Griffin's run on NBC's Suddenly Susan ended in 2000, she didn't settle for toiling away in obscurity. Griffin launched an orchestrated campaign to insert herself back into the pop culture limelight at any cost. And for the past several years, her efforts have been documented on the popular -- and two-time Emmy Award-winning Bravo reality show -- Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.

Thanks largely to Bravo, Griffin is hardly D-List now. In addition to being in the middle of a successful comedy tour, Wednesday night is the Bravo premiere of Griffin's latest stand-up special, and also the night she hosts Bravo's big awards show, The A-List Awards.  

Happiness talked to Griffin last week, and we asked her if she ever worries that her constant celebrity-bashing will leave her with no friends in Hollywood. "That's my goal," she said. "That's Oprah's job -- to care what people think of her." Brief pause. "And Gail's job," she adds.
