by Tom Heald with Jon Delfin
All times Eastern
For PBS programs, check local listings

= = = = =

7:30 p.m.
"Studio 2 Stage" (BET): Ciara

8 p.m.
Doug gets an ice cream truck and misdirected phone calls on the return of "The King of Queens" (CBS; also 8:30).

Stanley Donen is profiled on "Private Screenings" (TCM; repeats at 11), followed by public screenings of "Funny Face" (9), "Charade" (midnight) and "Anchors Aweigh" (2 a.m.).

TELE(NOVELA)-GEBRA
It's "Romeo and Juliet" x "Geraldo!" when the scorned Tatum O'Neal plays a "Wicked Wicked Game" (MyNetworkTV) as a insane society matron raising her two boys to fall in love with her ex-husband's two daughters.

CariDee, Melrose or Eugena will be "America's Next Top Model" (CW).  A trip down the catwalk in couture bridal gowns decides who becomes the next CoverGirl model and who joins the cast of "Surreal Life 12."

"The Biggest Loser" (NBC; also 9) ends its 87th season.

"Show Me the Money" (ABC)

9 p.m.
The "Bargain Hunt" gets personal as £50,000 is on the line. If the contestants can make a profit at auction with their investments, they keep the cash; otherwise they'll be "Dealing With Dickinson" (BBC America).

The other MyNetworkTV debut of the night is "Watch Over Me" with Dayanara Torres torn between two lovers: the man she's engaged to and the man he hired as her bodyguard. The requisite Hollywood has-been diva is "Dynasty's" Catherine Oxenberg, and proving that he can play a man (after a run as "Days of Our Lives'" villainess Sami Brady's alter ego "Stan") is actor Dan Wells.

Lucas is visited by his dead uncle on "One Tree Hill" (CW). Well, hey, you believe that these 28-year-olds are playing teenagers, right?
