The "Thrillogy" is back: NBC's Saturday-night franchise of evil returns for a third season on Channel 41, beginning with "The Pretender" at 8, a show that's starting to grow on me. Michael T. Weiss (above) is a charming lead, and I think I'm beginning to untangle the pile of yarn that is the show's ongoing story line. Tonight's episode tells us who survived that horrible blast at the Centre last spring (here's a hint: everybody who mattered). "Profiler" at 9 resolves last season's cliffhanger as Sam Waters (Ally Walker, below) and that creepy serial killer Jack finally are reunited. Don't bother tuning in any earlier than 8 or you might wind up catching that dreadful new Bo Derek mess, "Wind on Water."
