TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"K-Ville" debut, 8 p.m., Fox. This show has two impressive assets: New Orleans and Anthony Anderson. It also has a drawback: a clumsy opening story, filled with screeching tires and an absurd plot twist. Anderson is an amazing talent who did comedy roles, then became a great villain on "The Shield." Now he plays an intense cop, refusing to leave his post-Katrina world. Cole Hauser is also fine as his new partner. Some of the original flaws in this hour have been straightened out, so there's hope; maybe next week, "K-Ville" will get a better story.

"Prison Break" season opener, 7 p.m., Fox. Now this show has twisted inside-out. It is Michael behind bars, his brother Linc outside. The plotters have been exposed and Linc has been exonerated. But the complications soon find Michael in a Panamanian prison, alongside T-Bag, Bellick and maybe even Mahone. It's always something.

OF NOTE

Football, 2:30 p.m., ESPN (with pre-game at 1). It's Washington at Philadelphia, in a battle of teams that had 16-13 games in their season openers. The Redskins beat the Dolphins; the Eagles lost to the Packers.

"The Backyardigans: Super Secret Super Spy," 4 p.m., Nickelodeon. This animated delight usually airs in the daytime weekdays, with kids imagining grand adventures. Now it goes further; it has an hour-long James Bond-style adventure, complete with fancy visuals and Cyndi Lauper theme song. It's great fun for kids and not bad for adults.

"Saving Grace" season-finale, 7 p.m., TNT. The murder of a woman seems similar to a case from 11 years ago, which remains personal for Grace.

"Deal or No Deal" (7 p.m.) and "The Singing Bee" (8 p.m.), both NBC. Next week, NBC's Mondays will be filled with flashy fantasy. Borrowing the night this week are new rounds of these game shows. As a gimmick, Donald Trump spends this hour as the "Deal" banker.

"Most Honorable Son," 9 p.m., PBS. Ben Kuroki was a Nebraska farm boy whose life changed when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He wanted to join the Air Corps and fight the enemy in Japan; others wanted everyone of Japanese descent (including Kuroki) out of the military and into camps. He got his way, including harrowing adventures and one daring escape. This is a fascinating story, beautifully told by Kuroki and others.

"Heroes," 9 p.m., NBC. A week before the season opener, here's one more chance to see the first season's finale, with everyone converging in New York, trying to prevent an explosion. It's a terrific hour, despite odd logic at the end.
