'Til Death: Italy? Don't go there. Eddie (Brad Garrett)
is going through some old stuff and finds a roll of
undeveloped film. It turns out to have pictures of a trip
to Italy that he and Joy (Joely Fisher) took years ago, a
trip that ended very, very badly. Eddie decides to make
amends by re-creating the vacation at home with a
happier ending in the new episode "The Italian Affair."
9:01 p.m. on NBC
ER: Who's up for a game of Scruples? You don't
need the board; just play along with the characters in
this new episode. Let's start with Gates and Kovac
(John Stamos, Goran Visnjic), who face a moral dilemma
over a patient with liver failure. Manish's (Aasif
Mandvi) desire to donate a kidney to a stranger has
Neela (Parminder Nagra) pondering right and wrong.
Ray (Shane West) treats a cheerleader who took a
tumble in "Crisis of Conscience."
Friday
8 p.m. on NBC
Las Vegas: Danny and Delinda (Josh Duhamel,
Molly Sims) should have stayed in Boston with Jordan.
Sam's (Vanessa Marcil) "whale" arrives with his three
wives, but Sam is busy, so Delinda must entertain the
man ... who takes more than a professional interest in
her. Mike (James Lesure), meanwhile, has his eye on
one of the wives. Ed (James Caan) tries to fire his
housekeeper (guest star Sandra Bernhard) in the new
episode "The Burning Bedouin."
Saturday
7 p.m. on CBS
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: William Sadler
is one heck of an actor. And he shows that in full force
in "Killer," playing ... well, the killer. We're not giving
away the mystery here; this episode plays out more like
a "Columbo" story than a typical "CSI," showing us whodunit
right up front and focusing on the "whydunit." We
also get the story from both his and the CSI
team's points of view. It's a nice change from
the usual formula.
8 p.m. on CBS
Criminal Minds: The profilers are in Mexico
to help hunt for a serial killer who targets
senior citizens. The local authorities, who have a
very different style of investigating, aren't exactly
thrilled to see them. But another murder
has both groups setting aside their differences
to find the culprit before he kills
again. New fatherhood has Hotchner
(Thomas Gibson) feeling torn between his
family and work in "Machismo."
Sunday
7 p.m. on CBS
The Amazing Race: All-Stars: It worked for "Survivor"
and "Big Brother," so it was only a matter of time
before this reality show did an all-star edition. Things
have changed for some of them; John Vito and Jill, who
competed as a couple in season three and finished fifth,
are no longer dating, but they'll be racing together. So
will Eric and Dee from season nine, who were on separate
teams back then but are now an item. And yes, Mirna
and Charla from season five are back.
Monday
7 p.m. on FOX
Prison Break: The warden has all the answers ...
well, he has the big one. In the new episode "Bad
Blood," Michael and Sara (Wentworth Miller, Sarah
Wayne Callies) learn that Warden Pope (guest star Stacy
Keach) holds the key to stopping the Company. Another
escapee lands in Mahone's (William Fichtner)
sights. T-Bag (Robert Knepper) takes the Hollanders
to his childhood home. Sucre (Amaury
Nolasco) gets into trouble hitchhiking.
8:31 p.m. on CBS
Rules of Engagement: He's tall, dark
and handsome ... what's not to like? Jeff
(Patrick Warburton) ogles the hottie on Russell's
(David Spade) arm at the diner, upsetting
Audrey (Megyn Price). He assures his wife he's not
interested in younger women, and she tells him he
couldn't get one if he wanted to. Does she care to make
this interesting - as in a bet? As a matter of fact, she
does. Oliver Hudson also stars in the new episode
"Young and the Restless."
Tuesday
8 p.m. on NBC
Law & Order: Criminal Intent: Tom Arnold as a
preacher? It's not a typical role for the comic actor and
former Mr. Roseanne, but he does look the part. His
character's wife is murdered, and Goren and Eames
(Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe) suspect a link to his
secret liaisons with a hustler. A surprise awaits Goren
when he visits his mother (Rita Moreno) in the hospital:
his long-lost brother (Tony Goldwyn). Eric Bogosian also
stars in the new episode "Brother's Keeper."
Wednesday
9 p.m. on NBC

especially if it holds bad news for your own loved
ones. Ask Allison (Patricia Arquette), who has a terrifying
dream about her youngest daughter's fate. Scanlon
(David Cubitt) deals with a death that hits close to
home; the victim was a friend of his. Jake Weber,
Miguel Sandoval and Sofia Vassilieva also star in the
new episode "Second Opinion."
