6. The Tudors
It's a double-shot of our boy Henry. Back-to-back 60-minute episodes. Tonight, Cardinal Wolsley continues to flounder worse than any Cardinal since Jim Edmonds in the 2004 Series -- and Henry makes himself the head of the Church of England. Well, that will get the babes!
Showtime, 8 p.m.

7. John Adams
Part four in the seven-part series on the life of American revolutionary John Adams. Tonight, Mr. A recovers from his illness, reunites with Mrs. A in Paris, watches the Colonial Army smack down the Brits and considers a position in the new government. All in one hour? Wow!
HBO, 9 p.m.

8. Cold Case (new episode)
Kathryn Morris gets the skinny (and, boy, is she skinny!) on a deaf teen who's been missing since 2006. Missing since 2006? Sounds more like a Lukewarm Case, not a Cold Case.
CBS, 9 p.m.

9. Dexter (new episode)
The squad identifies the Ice Truck Killer.
CBS, 10 p.m.

10. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart star in the John Ford epic western about a 1880s town trying to overcome its violent traditions. Lee Marvin gives the performance of his life as the evil Liberty and the Duke shows he can act as the antiquated gunslinger Tom Donovan. Great flick, folks.
