‘Christine’ offers hilarity

By MIKE HUGHES Gannett News Service

Tonight’s must-see

“The New Adventures of Old Christine,” 8 and 8:30 p.m., CBS.

With the shrinking comedy turf, give CBS credit for adding an hour on Wednesdays. Next week, “Christine” starts its season and “Gary Unmarried” debuts. Tonight, the spot warms up with these reruns. In the first one, her brother and her friend (Hamish Linklater, Wanda Sykes) sleep together, annoying Christine greatly. In the second, she reluctantly dates a younger guy.

If you haven’t seen it, definitely catch the second one. The final minutes, with Gigi Rice guesting, are hilarious.

Tonight’s might-see

“Live From Lincoln Center” (7 p.m. on KSPS; 8 p.m., KUID and KCDT) and “Los Lonely Boys Cottonfields and Crossroads,” (9:30 p.m., KUID and KCDT; 10 p.m., KSPS), both PBS.

An all-music night starts with elegance. The Philharmonic includes Tchaikovsky’s fourth symphony and an Ibert flute concerto with James Galway.

Then the setting changes. A documentary traces Los Lonely Boys from Texas cantinas to Grammy-winning success.

Other choices include:

“America’s Got Talent,” 8-10 p.m., NBC. The 10 acts perform and viewers vote. On Thursday, half will be gone.

“America’s Next Top Model,” 8 p.m., CW. After a makeover, the models head to a Malibu photo shoot.

“Bones,” 8 p.m., Fox. A dog-fighting ring is probed.

“ ‘Til Death,” 9 p.m., Fox. When Eddie buys a red convertible, his wife suspects a midlife crisis.

“Do Not Disturb,” 9:30 p.m., Fox. Neal’s perverse mind concocts a giant birdcage to display his attractive employees. That leads to the question of which ones are attractive.

“Entourage,” 9:30 p.m., and “True Blood,” 10 p.m., HBO. If you missed Sunday’s episodes, catch reruns here. First, Vince starts to realize how far his career has plummeted. Then the vampire rescues Sookie who previously rescued her.
