Miracles and Veritas: The Quest are almost-cancelled. The network hasn’t said they’re cancelled officially, but they’re off the schedule.

Breaking news could still preempt, delay, or change schedules (especially for the major networks).

Kurtwood Smith, Stephen Collins on The Caroline Rhea Show (syndicated, check your local listings).

Ashton Kutcher, Suzanne Somers, Nivea on a rerun of The Wayne Brady Show (syndicated, check your local listings).

“Ask Dr. Phil” on Dr. Phil (syndicated, check your local listings). “A wife asks why she is more insecure in her marriage after losing 80 pounds. Another woman wants to know how to find a place in her boyfriend’s heart, even though after three years, he is still mourning his deceased wife. “

Rerun of the “What Should I Do with My Life?” episode of Oprah (syndicated, check your local listings). Po Bronson, Taryn Rose, and others are guests.

Rerun of last week’s episode of 24 (FX, 4pm).

“Never Kill A Boy On The First Date” and “The Pack” episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (FX, 5pm, 6pm).

Cary Grant in Howard Hawks’ I Was A Male War Bride (TCM, 7pm). Fun movie.

Rerun of the most recent new episode of Gilmore Girls (WB, 7pm). Wherein Rory waits for college acceptance letters and Lorelai bumps into Max. There’s a new episode next week.

Rerun of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (UPN, 7pm). It’s the episode “Never Leave Me” wherein “Buffy gives Spike the third degree; the gang grills Andrew about evil forces.” New episode next week (the first of the final five).

“Harm and Mac investigate a charge against an officer when she is found to be pregnant” on a rerun of JAG (CBS, 7pm).

Women’s College Basketball : NCAA Tournament, Final (ESPN, 7:30pm).

New episode of 24 (FOX, 8pm; reruns on FX).

“Nick represents a boy who needs a bone-marrow transplant from his reluctant sister” on a rerun of The Guardian (CBS, 8pm).

John Corbett stars in the series premiere of Lucky (FX, 9pm, 9:30pm). ” Lucky must pay back his recently deceased wife’s parents for her funeral without gambling.” Ever Carradine (of Once and Again) and Giancarlo Esposito (of Homicide) also star. Reviews have not been kind to this new half-hour dramedy; most think it’s too dark. Everyone does love Corbett, though, so maybe it’ll stick around long enough to improve or pull people in.

At long last, a new episode of NYPD Blue (ABC, 9pm).
