• MIGHT-SEE: "The Judge" conclusion, 8 p.m., NBC. As the first half of this courtroom tale ended, a tough judge (Edward James Olmos) faced overwhelming troubles and coincidences. He had been framed for soliciting a pseudo-prostitute who worked for the police. Then her body was found, and he faced a murder charge. There's more: The judge really does know prostitutes. One of his lawyers (Chris Noth) is a guy he once jailed for contempt. The other lawyer (Lolita Davidovich) is Noth's former lover. These are tangles upon tangles. It's settled tonight.
