What to Watch on Friday: Ugly Betty returns tonight

Bookmark and Share

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.
