Be sure to check out my review of the set if you haven’t yet. I recommend it (as well as previous sets) very highly. My favorite show of all time ‘cuz it’s funny and true and more about life than death and . . . just trust me, okay? The first four seasons are sublime. If you can’t afford to order the DVD set, be sure you enter the anniversary contest where you’ll have a good shot at winning Season 4 or Season 3 on DVD!

Bernie volunteers to help out as a teacher’s helper at school on a new Bernie Mac Show (FOX, 7pm). Note new time & day. Season 1 of this show is now available for pre-order on DVD, is due out on May 5th.
Kevin Smith guest stars on Yes, Dear (CBS, 7pm) as himself or some version of himself. No, I don’t know why. Brian Doyle Murray also guest stars.
Mandy Patinkin stars as an investigator in the new TV movie NTSB: The Crash of Flight 323 (ABC, 7pm - 9pm). With Ted McGinley, Eric Close (of Without A Trace), Kevin Dunn, Tyra Ferrell, Jeffrey D. Sams, Francie Swift, Gigi Rice, Brian Markinson, Brett Cullen, Richard Riehle, Isabella Hofmann, and Adam Tsou. ” Investigators try to determine whether mechanical failure, pilot error or terrorism is the cause of a plane crash.”
“Kicked Up Cheesecake” on Emeril Live (Food Network, 7pm and 11pm).
Rerun of the Dinner for Five (IFC, 7pm and 10pm) with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell, and director Kevin Smith (and Jon Favreau, of course). From when Daredevil came out.
“Vegas House” on Monster House (Discovery, 7pm and 10pm).
I hardly ever mention Fear Factor (NBC, 7pm) because it grosses me out. Ew!
There’s a break-in, so the family installs a panic room on Cracking Up (FOX, 7:30pm). Presumably hijinks ensue. Kyle Gass (of Tenacious D) guest stars as “Naked Man.” I missed last week’s episode with Jack Black, but I did review the first two episodes. Molly Shannon and Jason Schwartzman star.
Amy’s family (Fred Willard, Georgia Engel, Chris Elliott) mention Robert’s habit of touching food to his chin and before too long everyone is talking about it on Everybody Loves Raymond (CBS, 8pm). CBS sent me this episode to preview and it’s another good one. Not great, but darn good. I think my favorite episodes may have Robert (Brad Garrett) at the heart of them.
Marc McGrath of Sugar Ray is hanging out with Cheryl Ladd (a.k.a. Mrs. James Caan on this show) on a new Las Vegas (NBC, 8pm).
Rerun of “The L Word” episode of Everwood (WB, 8pm, rerun on Sunday at 5pm). I wish they’d air some older reruns. This is the one where Ephram tells Madison “I love you” only to have his declaration fall flat. And then he kindof wigs out when he’s supposed to be enjoying a trip to a jazz competition with his Dad and Bright and Will Cleveland (James Earl Jones). I think Amy makes some poor choices, too. I have enjoyed very much the fact that Ephram and Amy are acting like the teens they are (i.e. making some poor choices), it’s sometimes a bit hard to watch and not the most fun. I’m not sure these episodes are good ones for new viewers to jump into, either. Though I hope the wit and heart of the show shines through even these downer sorts of episodes.
“Classics” and “Crazy Candy” Unwrapped (Food Network, 8pm and midnight; 8:30pm and 12:30am).
Teri Hatcher (of Lois and Clark) guest stars as Judith’s sister Liz on Two and a Half Men (CBS, 8:30pm). She hits on Alan (Jon Cryer) at her nephew’s birthday party.
Dan Cruickshank Under Fire: The Raiders of the Lost Art (Trio, 8:30pm and 11:30pm). A look at the damage done by looters to a Iraq museum.
Billy Kay (Independent Spirit nominee for L.I.E., used to play Shayne on Guiding Light) guest stars on C.S.I. Miami (CBS, 9pm) as a “forensics fanatic” who steals something from a crime scene.
The Race From the White House 2004 (Comedy Central, 9pm) is essentially a Daily Show clip show.
John Stossel looks into “Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity” on a “special edition” of 20/20 (ABC, 9pm). Should be fun. Or at least more fun than these newsmagazine shows usually are.
Some Average Joe alums bring swimsuit models into the mix on Average Joe: Adam Returns (NBC, 9pm).
Couple more episodes of Airline (A&E, 9pm, 9:30pm).
Single In Vegas (We, 9pm).
Dinner & a Movie Las Vegas Super Chef Cook-Off! (TBS, 9:10pm). What’s the deal? It’s a contest. “This tasty competition will feature a face-off between four of the country’s top culinary talents: Bradley Ogden, Todd English and Mary Sue Milliken teamed with Susan Feniger.” Recipes must be themed to go with a movie, of course. And the judges are the usual suspects from Dinner & A Movie. Sweepstakes winners will aid the chefs. Is followed by Dinner & A Movie treatment of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (TBS, 10:10pm), which means there’s a recipe involved.
Another airing of last week’s episode of The Shield (FX, 9:30pm). In case you missed it.

Tom Hanks, N.E.R.D. on The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS, 10:35pm).
Mel Gibson, Prince on an excellent rerun of The Tonight Show (NBC, 10:35pm). Well, I skipped the monologue and comedy bits (as usual with this show) and just watched the interviews with Gibson & Prince and the Prince performance.
Final two episodes of the 8th season, which has Mulder back and the birth of Scully’s baby on The X-Files (TNT, 11pm, midnight). Episodes are “Essence” and “Existence.”
