- One of the sadder casualties in recent TV memory was the smart, melancholy Ray Romano vehicle "Men of a Certain Age," which was cancelled after two seasons despite widespread critical acclaim. IFC Canada offers back-to-back episodes tonight, and for those who never caught the series — which casts Romano, Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula as three men navigating the bumps of middle age — it's certainly worth a look.

- Those who missed the beginning of the inaugural season of the country-music soap "Nashville" are being offered a chance to catch up in the form of tonight's clip show, which recaps the tumultuous relationship between Juliette Barnes and Rayna James (played by Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton respectively). The series will return with a new episode next week. (ABC, CTV Two)
