TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Grey's Anatomy," 7 and 8 p.m., ABC. For the second straight Thursday, ABC reruns a pair of pivotal "Anatomy" episodes. Last week was the two-parter that originally followed the Super Bowl. This week, these two hours help get viewers in the mood for the Emmy awards Sunday, with the show nominated for best drama. The first episode begins with Meredith at the bar, waiting to see if Derek will meet her. He won't; soon, bigger problems prevail. A train wreck fills the emergency room with patients. Meredith can't help until her alcohol level goes down; mostly, she watches helplessly. Especially moving is the relationship between two strangers who have been impaled together. The second hour gets back to the soap-opera side. We meet Derek's former friend, whose affair with Addison broke up their marriage.

OF NOTE

Football, 2 p.m., Fox. Miami visits Carolina.

"Mona Lisa Smile" (2003), 5 and 7:30 p.m., FX. In the 1950s, women's choices seemed scarce. This story is set at Wellesley College in the '50s, with a free-thinking art prof (Julia Roberts) having an impact. Top actresses are involved, including Roberts, Marcia Gay Harden, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

"The Office," 7:30 p.m., NBC. Here's another show that's up for an Emmy award Sunday. In the first rerun, Michael celebrates his birthday by taking everyone ice-skating. In his second, he takes Jim to Hooters; Jim feels obligated to be a pal, because Michael knows his secret about liking Pam. In the third, Dwight turns policeman, after finding half a marijuana joint in the parking lot.

"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," 8 p.m., CBS. At first, it appears that a young single mom killed herself. Catherine soon finds proof to the contrary — plus a surprise. Meanwhile, Grissom is told that his testimony is needed to keep a killer from going free.

"Without a Trace," 9 p.m., CBS. When searching for a man, police find his collection of child pornography. Now the case is broadened to include a kid.

"Windfall," 9 p.m., NBC. The affair between Nina and Cameron has shattered both of their marriages. Peter — Nina's husband, Cameron's former friend - has taken refuge in a romance with Sunny, who, oddly, admits she lied about being in the lottery pool. Meanwhile, Sean — a legitimate lottery winner — has been shot and is on the lam.
