'Trust Me'(10PM, TNT) series premiere
Mad men they're not, as Eric McCormack ('Will & Grace') and Tom Cavanagh's ('Ed') ad men work at a present-day Chicago advertising agency instead of a retro Madison Avenue joint.
But there's definitely some mad-ness in the way creative partners Mason (McCormack) and Conner (Cavanagh) go about their business, especially when their tyrannical boss bites the dust and the fellas need to come up with a clever cell phone ad -- and fast -- lest they lose a key client.
Adding fire to the high-stress situation: Responsible family man Mason is about to become the boss of his freewillin' ladies man BFF Conner, and someone isn't happy with the change in their relationship.

'The Closer'
(9PM, TNT)
The final five episodes of season four kick off as Brenda's 'rents pop into town to try to ensure she'll get hitched to Fritz, but she's busy dealing with the aftermath of Sanchez's shooting and a suicide that may not be a suicide at all.
'24'
(9PM, Fox)
Didja notice that silent clock at the end of last week's episode, with Agent Renee Walker being buried alive? The silent clock usually signifies death, but we're guessing Girl Jack will live to see another day. Or at least another hour.
'Superstars of Dance'
(8PM, NBC) 1st season finale
The winners are chosen, and then ... nothing. Because they're dancers, and it's not like there's a Professional Superstars of Dance League. Not yet, anyway ...
'Real Chance of Love Reunion'

Is Real still with Corn Fed? Who cares ... the bigger question is, how are all those women going to respond to Chance after he pulled a Brad Womack and didn't pick any of them?

Funny guy Conan, who'll soon be headed to Los Angeles to take over as host of 'The Tonight Show' -- talks about his late-night host career path, including stints as a writer on 'The Simpsons' and 'Saturday Night Live.'
'One Way Out'
(9 and 9:30PM, Discovery) series premiere
British escape artist -- yes, he's a Houdini fan -- Jonathan Goodwin goes all 'Jackass' as he tries to get himself out of situations like being restrained upside down with his head submerged in freezing water and being covered with 200,000 ticked off bees while a scorpion is trapped in his mouth.
