- "Meet the Parents" (2000), 9 p.m., USA Network. If you're planning to see the much-praised sequel "Meet the Fockers," you might want to catch this film first. Ben Stiller hopes to propose to Teri Polo, but has to deal with her parents (Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner).
- "Wickedly Perfect" debut, 8 p.m., CBS. This reality show begins with a dozen tasteful types assembled in a country mansion. Their first challenge is to create things with apples.
Then the results are judged by hair stylist David Evangelista, chef Bobby Flay and "Sex and the City" columnist Candace Bushnell.
The result is a weak substitute for "Survivor," which is loaning its time slot. Still, it's a reasonably fast, fun show that hopes to find the next Martha Stewart.
- "Summer Catch" (2001), 8-10 p.m., WB. Freddie Prinze Jr. plays a hot baseball prospect who falls for a rich local girl (Jessica Biel).
- "Joey," 8 p.m., NBC. In the previous episode, we had a fun glimpse of Lucy Liu as Joey's boss on the "Deep Powder" TV series. Tonight, she emphasizes a good rule for actors: Don't seduce the actress who plays your daughter.
- "Committed," 8:30 p.m., NBC. In Tuesday's opener, two offbeat souls began a romance. Marnie (Jennifer Finnigan) tends to like everyone; Nate (Josh Cooke) is steeped in suspicion.
Now he suspects that her paraplegic friend Todd has cynicism beneath his cheery tone. Josh hesitantly brings some work to Todd and includes him in a basketball game. The results are hilarious.
There also are some fun detours: Marnie's friend spies on the mailman and her live-in clown (really) gets a long- distance pie in the face.
- "North Shore," 9 p.m., Fox. Tessa, who has had a shady past, meets an old acquaintance.

- "Medium," 10 p.m., NBC. After premiering Monday, this show borrows the "ER" time slot. Allison (Patricia Arquette), who is psychic, helps pick jurors for a murder trial.
