Also Tonight

Camille
8:00 PM - TCM

When people say they don't make movies like they used to, this is the kind of movie they're talking about: George Cukor's lavish 1936 adaptation of the literary tear-jerker about a fatally ill Paris courtesan who falls for a callow young nobleman. Greta Garbo gives what may be the single best performance of her singular career, a portrayal that is heartbreaking yet unsentimental -- and one that feels as if it was put on film just last week.

Almost Famous
8:00 PM - CINEMAX

Named one of 2000's best pictures by many critics, writer-director Cameron Crowe's comedy-drama recalls his days as a rock-music journalist. Played by Patrick Fugit, the young reporter hits the road with a band that has a charismatic leader (Billy Crudup). An appealing groupie (Kate Hudson) is along for the literal and figurative ride, too. Frances McDormand and Jason Lee also star.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
9:00 PM - CBS

Keppler is in the spotlight in this episode -- actually, he wants to remain well out of it. A police officer and prostitute die in a hotel room, and Keppler (Liev Schreiber) knows the guy who found the bodies. But he wants to remain involved in the investigation, so he keeps his personal ties to the case a secret. And with Grissom (William Petersen) back from his sabbatical, it's going to be hard.

Supernatural
9:00 PM - cw

An angry mob outside the jail -- and this is a mob of demons. Nothing good can come of that. Sam and Dean (Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles) are arrested for breaking into Bela's (Lauren Cohan) apartment to retrieve the Colt. In jail, they free Agent Henricksen (C. Malik Whitfield) from demonic possession, and he prepares to let them go -- until Ruby (Katie Cassidy) reports that a gang of demons is waiting outside in "Jus in Bello."

Smallville
8:00 PM - cw

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's not enough! In this episode, Clark (Tom Welling) gets flying lessons from Kara (Laura Vandervoort) in hopes of having an advantage over Brainiac (James Marsters). But the B-man still holds all the cards, and the results are deadly for one person close to Clark. Kristin Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum also star in "Veritas."
