Chucked: It was pointed out to me during last week's discussion of NBC's apparent suicidal tendencies that one show I'd given short shrift was Chuck, a show I often wind up catching up on in large blocks, partly because it's one NBC has been good about keeping available. For instance, the entire season is still up on NBC's site. But tonight's new episode features an appearance by Gary Cole (a classic Hey! It's That Guy!), and that can only be good. (NBC, 8 p.m.)

Awesomely legendary: Tonight on How I Met Your Mother, Ted and Barney get into a fight. It's very easy to imagine either of those guys being beaten to a pulp — let's watch! (CBS, 8:30 p.m.)

Shatner takes a powder and Heroes keeps it up, after the jump...

 

Farewell, Shatner: Boston Legal, which I freely admit I do not watch regularly, having gotten all the David E. Kelley courtroom-o-rama I require during the days of Ally McBeal and The Practice, ends its five-season run tonight with a two-hour season finale. If you have enjoyed either William Shatner as Denny Crane or James Spader as Alan Shore, here's your last chance to see them in action. Otherwise, look for some Emmy spots to start opening up. (ABC, 9 p.m.)

It's your funeral: If today's earlier rant about the storyline problems on Heroes didn't put you off of it for good, you've got a chance at a new episode tonight. (NBC, 9 p.m.)
