TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE
"Monk," 9 p.m., USA Network. Only Adrian Monk would go to an emergency room because he has a bloody nose. And only Monk would promptly find a murder to solve. We haven't seen this episode, but I still recommend it. "Monk" is a consistently clever show and this is the last new episode until its sixth season begins this summer. Charles Durning, lately of "Rescue Me," and Dan Butler of "Frasier" are tonight's guest stars.
"NAACP Image Awards," 7 p.m., Fox. This live special tends to offer some great musical moments and star power, while spanning genres. The award for best movie, for instance, has "Dreamgirls" going against "The Pursuit of Happyness," "Blood Diamond," "Catch a Fire" and "Akeelah and the Bee." For TV shows, the drama nominees are "Grey's Anatomy," "Heroes," "24," "The Unit" and "The Wire." The comedy nominees are "Everybody Hates Chris," "Ugly Betty," "Girlfriends," "All of Us" and "The Bernie Mac Show."
OF NOTE
"That's So Raven," 7 p.m., Disney Channel. Tonight, Disney has four straight new comedy episodes. That starts here with Raven getting an image of Eddie's divorced parents getting along at a party.
"Grey's Anatomy," 7 p.m., ABC. This rerun goes back to the start of the season. Izzie was trying to get herself to return to the hospital; George was trying to get Callie to move out. (Yes, both stories seem wildly outdated now.) Meanwhile, Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine") plays a foster child who seems almost impervious to pain.
"Ghost Whisperer," 7 p.m., CBS. In this rerun, Melinda has trouble helping a family in a haunted house without revealing her secret skills.
"The Suite Life of Zack & Cody," 7:30 p.m., Disney Channel. Zack wants lessons after losing to a girl in miniature golf.
"Las Vegas," 8 p.m., NBC. Sam has her new inheritance, but she owes millions in taxes. Meanwhile, Sam and his wife (James Caan and Cheryl Ladd) ponder retirement. Also, the condo where Danny and Delinda live is broken into after he refuses to help a gang lord.
"Close to Home," 8 p.m., CBS. In a rerun, a wife recants her testimony, so some fresh information must be found quickly.
"Hannah Montana," 8 p.m., Disney Channel. Hannah gets money and gifts to endorse a perfume — then discovers that it smells awful.
"Cory in the House," 8:30 p.m., Disney Channel. Cory and Meena plan to make Bahavian pastries for a White House function. The plan, of course, goes wrong.
"Numb3rs," 9 p.m., CBS. In a rerun, a man picks 30 straight winners at the track, then is killed. Now Charlie tries to figure out his formula.
"Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. A man is killed after his company made flawed body armor.
"Psych," 10 p.m., USA Network. Here's the season-finale, co-written by James Roday and directed by John Landis. Someone seems to be copying a sorority killing that was described in an urban legend; Shawn (Roday) is eager to use his pretend psychic skills here.
