Tonight's Must-See

"Everybody Loves Raymond," 8 p.m., CBS. Ray and Debra begin lying, something that none of the characters on this show does very well. The problem starts when Ray misses an appointment with his mom. Soon the lies are growing.

"Switched," 5 p.m., ABC Family. This reality show has two teens switching places. Today's episode is particularly interesting. On one coast is Ashlie Brillault, who played Kate on "Lizzie McGuire." On the other is Dallas Friday, who at age 17 leads the professional women's wakeboarding standings. She's won a dozen championships this year in the water sport. She's been in a cartoon and video game and was named "Florida's fittest female." She had mastered everything until she got to Ashlie's world. There, she was befuddled by dance class and stunned by the notion of manicures and eyebrow waxing. Ashlie spent a lot of time falling in the water.

Of Note

"Wheel of Fortune," 6:30 p.m., KHON. This game has been around since 1975. Here's the 4,000th episode, taped at Radio City Music Hall.

"Yes, Dear," 7 p.m., CBS. Greg is hoping his birthday party will involve golf. Instead, it's at a water park.

"The Road to Perdition" (2002), 6 p.m., HBO. Sam Mendes ("American Beauty") brilliantly directed this story of a hit man (Tom Hanks) seeking revenge.

"Las Vegas," 8 p.m., NBC. A sexy con artist manages to fool everyone, including the security people. Meanwhile, a hard-luck couple wants tickets to see Wayne Newton.
