Tonight's Must-See

"Survivor: Thailand," 7 p.m., CBS. After wilting in Australia and an African desert, the show returns to pleasant island settings. The fifth season begins off Thailand.

"Biography," 5 and 9 p.m., A&E. This fascinating portrait of the Barrymore clan skips on-camera commentators and offers a crisp story told by Gary Sinise. It starts with Maurice Barrymore, an Englishman who moved to America in the 1870s and became a stage star. His son, John, was a star who wallowed in alcohol and infidelity. John's granddaughter, Drew, also has had the talent and the troubles.

"Wide Angle," 9 p.m., PBS. The season finale views fundamentalists who want India to be a Hindu nation. Over three months, the show says, 2,000 Muslims were killed and 100,000 fled to refugee camps.
