Burn Notice
Burn Notice
9 pm/ET USA
Michael and Co. are back to kick off the third season of Burn Notice, which has moved to a new 9 pm/ET time slot. After ending last season by jumping out of a helicopter and into the ocean, Michael finally freed himself from the people who burned him. But that also means that he's no longer under their protection, a fact that becomes clearer when the police begin investigating him. Never one to turn down a side job, Michael also helps extradite a criminal to Latin America.

Make Me A Supermodel
Smile Pinki
7 pm/ET HBO
Like Pinki, the little girl of the film's title, you'll be grinning ear-to-ear — and shedding tears of joy — after seeing this 2008 Oscar-winning documentary short. Director Megan Mylan's heartwarming work chronicles efforts in India to encourage parents of children born with cleft lips to take them to a hospital for free corrective surgery. The defect causes public shame and makes speaking difficult, but all of these kids, including 5-year-old Pinki and 11-year-old Ghutaru, are finally ready for their close-ups.

Law & Order: SVU
According to Jim
8:30 pm/ET ABC
After eight seasons (which seemed to some like twice that many), this sitcom-that-gets-no-respect ends its run tonight with, appropriately enough, Jim's death. Heaven or hell? Jim is on trial before God (Lee Majors) and Satan (Erik Estrada). For Jim's sake, let's hope that there aren't any TV critics on the jury. Also helping usher in Jim's eternal reward (or torment) are guest stars Dan Aykroyd and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
8 pm/ET NBC
Do you ever wish some "celebrities," like Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag and Janice Dickinson, would just go away? Well now they are. Sort of. In this reincarnation of the 2003 series that aired on ABC, 10 shameless famous people are dropped in the heart of the Costa Rican rain forest to have their survival skills tested in a series of challenges voted on by viewers. The C-listers featured on the previous version included Cris Judd (J.Lo's ex), Bruce Jenner and Melissa Rivers. And hey, we haven't seen much of Cris Judd lately, so maybe one day "Speidi" really will go away. We can only hope!&

Pushing Daisies
Pushing Daisies
10 pm/ET ABC
Life imitates art on Pushing Daisies — the show was yanked from ABC's schedule last year and subsequently canceled, but it's come back to life to deliver three more episodes before shuffling off to the great beyond. In tonight's episode, Chuck and Emerson make for a strange sleuthing pair when Ned announces that he doesn't want to use his otherworldly powers to solve crimes anymore. Meanwhile, Olive faces the consequences of a youthful prank gone awry: The kidnappers she hired to abduct her as a child (she just wanted more attention from her parents) are back! Richard Benjamin and George Segal guest star as the kidnappers.

The Real Housewives of New York City
National Spelling Bee
8 pm/ET ABC
Times have changed, and so have the winning words in this entertaining event. Hard-to-spell, but at least understandable, championship-deciding words from the past have included "gladiolus" (1925); "condominium" (1956); "chihuahua" (1967) and "luge" (1984). But starting about 15 years ago, the competition heated up, with winners having to clinch with words like "antediluvian," "succedaneum" and "appoggiatura." It's gotten tougher being a kid.

Wipeout
George Strait: ACM Artist of the Decade All Star Concert
8 pm/ET CBS
The famously taciturn George Strait may not say a lot, but when he sings he speaks volumes. The Texas-born troubadour rode into Nashville on a song more than 25 years ago and is now the owner of an amazing 57 No. 1 singles on the country charts. It's no wonder the Academy of Country Music selected him as its artist of the decade, joining previous legends Marty Robbins (1960s), Loretta Lynn (1970s), Alabama (1980s) and Garth Brooks (1990s). Fortunately for Strait, he doesn't have to say much during tonight's all-star tribute. He gets to sit back and listen to a who's who of country artists literally sing his praises, such as Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Sugarland and Martina McBride.
