The beauty of this show is its potential to go anywhere. Tonight, it heads to Washington.
Jack (Alec Baldwin) has a government job. He’ll deal with Homeland Security and, he says, “the war on the poor.”
(Liz hopes he means the War on Poverty. She’s not sure.)
He meets an overwhelmed bureaucrat, wonderfully played by Matthew Broderick. There are some hilarious moments.
TONIGHT’S MIGHT-SEE: “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” 9 p.m., Channel 6 (CBS).
This wraps up a culture exchange. “CSI” writers created the “Two and a Half Men” episode - a bit broad, but very funny - that aired Monday; now that is reversed.
A situation comedy star has been killed in Las Vegas. Suspects include her stand-in and the show’s writers.
Don’t rule those writers out. This is from guys who have written for Roseanne Barr, Brett Butler and Cybill Shepherd.
• “Survivor,” 8 p.m., Channel 6. Erik Reichenbach of Pinckney is one step away from being in the final four for Sunday’s million- dollar finale. See “Erik Watch,” Page 1D.
• “Scrubs,” 8:30 p.m., Channel 10 (NBC). In the series finale, Dr. Cox tells his kids about his day - but tells it as a fairy tale, complete with a monster.
• “Grey’s Anatomy,” 9 p.m., Channel 53 (ABC). Mark’s trysts force a kiss-and-tell policy.
• “Tougher in Alaska,” 10 p.m., History Channel. Here’s an interesting look at modern-day gold-miners.
• “Live at Lincoln Center,” 10 p.m., Channel 23 (PBS). Marin Mazzie, who started her professional career at the Augusta Barn Theatre, stars as Guenevere in a “Camelot” concert, with the New York Philharmonic. Mazzie - a three-time Tony nominee - is torn between Gabriel Byrne and Nathan Gunn.
• “Lost,” 10:02 p.m., Channel 53. Last week brought a grim look at Jack’s post-island life. Tonight, Locke finally finds the cabin, where there may be an all-wise advisor.
