TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Shark," 9 p.m., CBS. This new drama is off to an adequate start in the Nielsen ratings, but it deserves to be doing better. Here's a second chance to see the superb pilot film. James Woods stars as a defense lawyer, rich and smart and wildly self-centered. Then one case causes him to crumble. Soon, he's on the other side as a prosecutor. He has a team of lawyers who are young, telegenic, smart and inexperienced. Woods is brilliant, working with a strong script.

"My Name is Earl," 7 p.m., NBC. In a night stuffed with reruns, this is one of the best. Earl wants to make up for the fact that he never took the side of his ex-wife, Joy. Alas, he tries that on a day when she's wildly wrong. Joy feels the solution to a retail dispute is to steal the store's truck. Once she learns its contents, the story and the humor escalate.

OF NOTE

"Ugly Betty," 7 p.m., ABC. Here's one of the few nonreruns tonight. Betty dresses up for Halloween — and gets that wrong, too.

"The Office," 7:30 p.m., NBC. A rerun of the season-opener: Michael has inadvertently ousted a gay staffer. Jim and Pam face the aftermath of their one kiss.

"Grey's Anatomy," 8 and 9 p.m., ABC. The season's first two terrific episodes get quick reruns. In the first, Izzie — paralyzed with grief over Denny's death — can't get herself to do anything, including change out of her evening gown. In the second, Burke's parents (Diahann Carroll and Richard Roundtree) arrive just as he's having an intimate moment with Cristina.

"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," 8 p.m., CBS. In this rerun, a fat man's body is found in a trash bin. That leads to a probe of competitive eating.
