Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Cartoon Network, 7pm).
Harper is charged with murder on a new Boston Public (FOX, 7pm). Waitaminute, this isn’t a crossover with The Practice is it? I sure hope Bobby Donnell & company don’t get involved.
It’s like Trading Spaces or While You Were Out, sortof, but with a rock star. Yeah, it’s Rock The House (VH1, 7pm-9:30pm). Bit of a marathon of the series tonight, with episodes that feature Sammy Hagar (7pm), Tommy Lee (7:30pm), Weird Al (8pm), Snoop Dogg (8:30pm), and the Goo Goo Dolls (9pm). I think Weird Al is the only star I’d let decorate a room in my place. Just saying.
“Mr. Monk and the Earthquake” episode of Monk (ABC, 7pm or after the football game).
Rerun of part 1 of this season’s opening two-part episode of 7th Heaven (WB, 7pm). Hijinks ensue. There’s a chimp involved and Mary’s seeing a much older man (played by Grant Goodeve) and did I mention the hijinks?

There’s a fall thaw celebration. Ephram’s feelings grow for whassername. Dr. Brown is trying too hard to be a doctor and not paying enough attention to his family. Yup, it’s an early episode of Everwood (WB, 8pm). Actually the second episode. I’ve seen it before, but if you’re new to the series and missed this one, it might be worth a look.
Ray writes a sample eulogy for Frank and then, you know, Frank finds out about it on a rerun of Everybody Loves Raymond (CBS, 8pm).
“A Hollywood starlet’s body is found in the back of a smashed truck on a country road” and it’s up to Jordan and Woody (Jerry O’Connell) to investigate, for some reason. On a new Crossing Jordan (NBC, 9pm). Commercials lead us to believe that “something” may “happen” between Jordan and Woody (to which some of us say “about time”).
Rerun of the first episode of C.S.I. Miami (CBS, 9pm).
