CSI: NY, on CBS
When a friend of Mac's is killed in a blaze, the team investigates in a special rebroadcast of the season premiere. The CSIs soon find evidence of a technique used by a recently paroled arsonist, played by guest star Rob Morrow.
Q: Are there any other adaptations of Dan Brown's novels being made at the moment?
As a matter of fact, yes. The third book in the series featuring Harvard University symbologist Robert Langdon, "The Lost Symbol," released in 2009, is being adapted right now.
That's meant in the most literal sense -- it's still in the screenplay-adaptation phase, with "Game Change" (2012) writer Danny Strong taking on the task of turning Brown's 639-page book into a two-hour-ish movie.

Last Resort, on ABC
The USS Colorado’s crew has one last adventure in the series finale. The episode, titled “Controlled Flight Into Terrain,” is the last chance fans have to catch the military drama, which is not scheduled to return next season.
Q: I just saw the historical movie "Hyde Park on Hudson" and thought I recognized the woman who played Eleanor Roosevelt. The credits said her name is Olivia Williams, but I don't know what else she's been in.
Olivia Williams more or less burst onto the film scene in the late '90s with a couple of major turns in critically acclaimed films, but never quite made the transition to superstardom that she seemed poised to do.
Criminal Minds, on CBS
When victims are discovered in the Mission District, the BAU team travels to San Francisco to investigate. Meanwhile, Reid stays behind to deal with a loss in his personal life. Jamie Luner makes a special guest appearance as art gallery owner Madison Riley.
The Taste, on ABC
Four food experts put professional chefs and home cooks to the ultimate culinary test in the two-hour premiere. In this series, Nigella Lawson, Anthony Bourdain, Ludo Lefebvre and Brian Malarkey each mentor a team and then judge their dishes in a blind taste test before sending someone packing.
Q: I recently watched Jim Carrey's live-action version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," and I was wondering about the breed of the dog who played Max.
Though Dr. Seuss's Christmas tale has cheered people for decades, the most heartwarming story to come out of the 2000 live-action version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" may be that of Kelley the dog, who played the Grinch's overworked and under-appreciated companion, Max.
Being Human, on Syfy
Josh contemplates the next step in his relationship with Nora, while she encounters an old foe bent on revenge. Meanwhile, Aidan gets reacquainted with someone from his past as he searches for blood, and Sally flirts with Trent (guest star John Bregar).
Late Laughs for the week of January 20 - 26, 2013
Late Night: Jimmy Fallon
I want to say congratulations to “American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson, who got engaged. ... Yeah, it’ll be weird at the wedding when the priest is like: “If anyone here objects to this union, text the word 'no' to my cellphone right now.” Yeah, Kelly Clarkson got engaged. So I guess now she'll be Mrs. Independent.
