History Detectives. This show may be the most fascinating show ever, it really may, but its title leave a lot to be desired. Now I'm just spitballing here, so this many not be quite what they're looking for, but if they want a ratings boost how about something like CSI: History or Law & Order: Old School.
10:00 - 11:00PM
The Standard of Perfection. I don't want to sound conceited or anything, but… done. I joke, relax, I joke, I'm as imperfect as they come. But Mark Lewis, director of The Natural History of the Chicken (seriously, that's not a joke) will be checking out show cats, their owners, and the judges at the Cat Fanciers' Association International Cat Show in this episode.

Nova - "Origins". Nova continues repeating their "Origins" series this week, and tonight's episode is entitled "How Life Began." So, not only will it cover the origins of life after the formation of our planet (see last week's episode for that story) it will go over the ever-increasing complexity of life and how that led, hopefully, to us.

Wide Angle - “18 With a Bullet.” In the early 1990s hundreds of people from El Salvador were deported from the United States. Some went to San Salvador and brought L.A. gang culture with them. Now they have a gang known as "18" that acts kind of like an armed militia. This episode of Wide Angle presents six month in the life.
10:00 - 11:00PM
P.O.V. - “A Family Undertaking.” Did you know that funerals are a multi-million dollar industry in this country? I didn't, but can totally believe it. This show explores the ever-growing industry by following several families as they plan the whole thing out. Sounds morbid and depressing, but possibly really, really interesting too.
