Closer @ 9pm
The red-hot cop series — which garnered cable-TV ratings records — burns bright in the Season 4 premiere. Here, a raging fire blazes through Griffith Park, threatening vast areas of Los Angeles. Just as Southern-fried policewoman Brenda Leigh Johnson tries to smoke out any wrongdoers, one of her archenemies — fire-starter Billy Croelick (a splendidly slimy Jason O'Mara) — enters the picture. Croelick is a pyromaniacal nutcase who "likes the smell of burning flesh," according to Chief Pope, and he seems to be carrying a... well, torch for Brenda. Will Brenda's case flame out?
Saving Grace @ 10pm
In the Season 2 premiere of this edgy character drama, Grace Hanadarko's long and winding road to redemption continues: She takes the day off to corner a haunting figure from her past — one Father Patrick Murphy (Rene Auberjonois). Along the way, the fast-living, heavy-drinking Grace ends up nabbing a criminal on the FBI's Most Wanted list. The big bust brings her hero status, a party at the office, the shining spotlight of the media — and the FBI's scrutiny into her drinking habits. The show's usual acting excellence (particularly from star Holly Hunter) and some genuine "wow" moments mark tonight's episode.
