Film essential: His Girl Friday (TCM, 5pm). Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell star in this classic.

Ruben Studdard talks about how his life has changed because of American Idol on Dateline NBC (NBC, 6pm).
Malcolm in the Middle (FOX, 6:30pm) discovers a man living in the Lucky Aide store. And Reese takes a job as an exterminator.
Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana pitches for the Twins against Mark Buehrle for the White Sox: Baseball: Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins (ESPN, 7pm).
Everyone I know who has seen Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel always raves about it, so it’s a safe bet that the REAL Sports With Bryant Gumbel: 10th Anniversary Special (HBO, 7pm) will be worth watching if you’re a fan of the series or if you’re curious about it.
Julian McMahon (of Nip/Tuck) and Billy Zane guest star in the 150th episode of Charmed (WB, 8pm; airs again at 9pm on Tuesday on TNT).
New episode of The Contender (NBC, 7pm). Boxers compete.
Is Yellowstone National Park really a Supervolcano (Discovery, 7pm – 10pm and 10pm – 1am)?

On a rerun of Cold Case (CBS, 7pm), they look into the disappearance of a teenager girl runaway in 1979 after they receive a home movie in the mail that may (or may not) depict her death.
Another airing of the new movie Kim Possible: So the Drama (Disney, 7pm).
Zach Braff (of Scrubs) guest stars on Arrested Development (FOX, 7:30pm) as someone that exploited Gob (in that “Girls With Low Self-Esteem” video). Kitty (Judy Greer) returns in this episode, too. If you aren’t watching this show, you’re missing one of the funniest series ever, in my humble opinion. FOX hasn’t picked the show up yet for another season, but is urging people to Get Arrested and show their support for the series (and to spread the word).
Lesley Ann Warren and Bob Newhart guest star on Desperate Housewives (ABC, 8pm – 9:02pm).
Bronson Pinchot (of Perfect Strangers) guest stars as a dentist whose wife dies of dioxin poisoning on Law & Order: Criminal Intent (NBC, 8pm; airs again on USA).
Alma suggests they put together a bank in Deadwood (HBO, 8pm; airs again plenty).
Season finale of Strange Love (VH1, 8pm, 10pm).
Yet another airing of the most recent episode of 24 (FOX, 8pm). In case you missed it the first two times. I won’t spoil the ending, but it involves a stolen stealth bomber piloted by Ned Vaughn (of China Beach). Yes, really.
“The interns compete to treat the most severe injuries as the emergency room fills up with an assortment of patients from Seattle’s annual bike messenger race” on Grey’s Anatomy (ABC, 9:02pm). Fun! The show is a bona fide hit, which means Boston Legal will move to a new timeslot next season. I really liked the first two episodes and not just because Patrick Dempsey totally makes me swoon (and I’m not generally a swooner, honest).
Gina Gershon and Sandra Bernhard guest star on Crossing Jordan (NBC, 9pm). Gershon plays a woman accused of orchestrating multiple murders; she also gets involved with Macy (Miguel Ferrer). And there’s also a case involving a young pregnant nun. I’ve got conflicting info on which episode airs tonight, so it’s possible it will be a different new episode than the one I’ve described here.
Ving Rhames stars in another new episode of Kojak (USA, 9pm and midnight). With Chazz Palminteri. I was underwhelmed by the pilot. Have you been watching this new show? What do you think of it? How does it compare to the original Kojak? Let me know what you think.
Rerun of the latest episode of The Shield (FX, 9pm). Maybe part of my problem with Kojak is that he’s supposed to be something of a tough cop and I’m used to The Shield where things are really intense; so Kojak seems awfully tame by comparison.
New episode of The L Word (Showtime, 9pm, 10pm; airs again plenty).
Farrah tries to have fun in New York, but keeps getting recognized on Chasing Farrah (TV Land, 9pm). This is a new “reality” series that follows Farrah Fawcett around. Shades of The Anna Nicole Show.
Highlights from the wedding (and event surrounding it) on Charles & Camilla’s Wedding Day: A WE Exclusive (We, 9pm).
Charles & Camilla: Road to the Altar (TLC, 9pm and 1am).
2004 U.S. Poker Championship (ESPN2, 9pm).
Uncut: Matthew McConaughey Uncut (E!, 9pm).
Rerun of the debut of Meet The Barkers (MTV, 10pm).
“The Deep End” episode of Robot Chicken (Cartoon Network, 10:30pm and 1:30am).
“Ice Station Impossible” episode of Venture Brothers (Cartoon Network, 11:30pm).
I’m still pulling together picks for Monday; will get coverage of Monday daytime stuff online yet today (Sunday).
