6.
Jaws
Steven Spielberg's classic big fish
story comes to life again in this high-def remastering. Great
performances from Roy Schneider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw.
HBO 2, 10 p.m.
7.
True Blood
Anna Paquin is back as
Sookie, a psychic waitress who falls under the spell of a
173-year-old vampire; the chick digs older guys, I guess. And I do
mean, 'digs.' The vampire series is from Six Feet Under
creator Alan Ball. Tonight, the program descript says Sookie is
attacked by a mysterious creature. More mysterious than a
173-year-old vampire? (Evan Rachel Wood joins the cast this year as
a 500-year-old vampire queen; 500-year-old vampire queen? Big deal;
you could find one of those in the Village.)
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Anna Paquin.

Wood.
HBO, 10 p.m.
Bonus Pick:
Good Luck Chuck
Dane Cook stars as a dentist who must
overcome a curse that causes his ex-girlfriends to find true love
with their next boyfriend. Jessica Alba plays his obligatory hot new
love interest who, something tells me, is a real curse breaker.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Jessica Alba.
Showtime, 10 p.m.
8. The Philanthropist (new)
James Purefoy
(Marc Antony in HBO's Rome) stars as
Teddy, a successful tycoon (are there any other kind?) who decides to use
his money to help people in need. You know, sort of like President Obama -- except the president uses our money.
Tonight, Teddy seeks advice from a Burmese politician who's been
under house arrest for two years. See, just like Obama!
NBC,
10 p.m.
