TONIGHT'S TV

The end is very near for "Monk."

Tonight, USA shows the first part of a two-part episode that will end the series. The second and final part is next Friday. Monk has to go to a a crime scene and it turns out to be the same place where he first found out his wife had been murdered. "White Collar" is next.

ABC's "20/20" follows Howie Mandel around: to the set of "Deal or No Deal," to his California home with his wife and kids and to his Las Vegas penthouse at the MGM Grand. That's where he performs throughout a year. The point of tonight's episode is for Mandel to show how he lives with OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder. "Supernanny" and "Ugly Betty" also are new on ABC.

CBS has reruns: "Ghost Whisperer," ''Medium" and "Numbers."

Same with the CW: reruns of "Smallville" and "America's Next Top Model."

This is movie night on NBC and Fox.

Steve Carell is "The 40 Year Old Virgin" on NBC.

And, "Ice Age: The Meltdown" is on Fox.

CMT is showing a fresh episode of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" A repeat follows. Then, CMT is replaying the CMA Awards from a few weeks ago where Taylor Swift cleaned up.
