Tonight's Must-See

"Meet My Folks" season-opener, 9 p.m., NBC. This show was a modest success last summer with a basic formula: Hunky men try to date a beautiful woman, with her parents choosing the lucky guy. First, there's a lie-detector test — and the guys' friends spill some nasty secrets. Tonight, five guys want to take Erin Schmidt, a swimsuit model, to Australia. Her dad (a high school principal) and mom will sift the field to three.

Of Note

"Crocodile Hunter," 6 p.m., Animal Planet. In one of the odder summer stunts, Steve Irwin plans a live two-hour special in which he moves a crocodile from one part of the zoo to another.

"Test the Nation," 7 p.m., Fox. During the first half there will be what's billed as a live IQ test. In the second half we learn the answers, compute our scores, and learn the scores of various groups in the studio audience.

"King of Queens," 7 p.m., CBS. The network's rerun night begins with Doug and Carrie accidentally getting another couple's photos — and realizing those people have more interesting lives.

"For Love or Money," 8 p.m., NBC. Last week, Rob Campos — the handsome attorney and ex-Marine — had to eliminate five gorgeous women. Now 10 remain; tonight, he takes half of them sailing and the other half on a picnic.

"Still Standing," 8:30 p.m., CBS. When Lauren becomes a bully, her mom takes action.

"CSI: Miami," 9 p.m., CBS. People are being shot by a sniper, apparently at random.
