“Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter,” at 6 p.m. on WE, stars Sandra Scott as a comely mom and wife with a rather surprising sideline.

TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter," 6 p.m., WE. Sandra Scott is a likable mom and wife, fit and attractive. She's also a former wrestler who hunts people who skipped bail bonds. In this first hour, she captures a couple of skippers while fretting about her younger daughter's birthday party and the death of her older daughter's dog. It's an appealing show with surprising detours. One captive spends the trip to jail telling blonde jokes.

OF NOTE

"Stargate, SG-1," 5 p.m., Sci Fi Channel. Here's a tough techno-challenge for Carter: She must make a village disappear before the Ori take it over.

"Stargate: Atlantis," 6 p.m., Sci Fi. The sea creature re-surfaces and the "woman in white: is seen again. This isn't good news.

"House," 7 p.m., Fox. This reruns the episode in which Cameron agreed to return to work — if Dr. House took her on a date.

"Grey's Anatomy," 7 p.m., ABC. In a rerun of Thursday's hour, Izzie is comforted by George and Alex's affection for "Jane Doe" builds.

"The Suite Life of Zack & Cody," 8 p.m., Disney Channel. In a neat detour, the guys visit Hollywood where a TV pilot is being based on them. There are some absurdly overplayed moments, as usual, but there are also some good ones, especially when the girls accidentally become stunt doubles. Rich Correll, who directed the episode, plays (appropriately) the director; there's a good closing bit by The Veronicas, 22-year-old Australian twins who are a pop-music duo.

"Raines," 8 p.m., NBC. Raines tends to imagine conversations with the murder victims. That's especially disturbing this time because the victim is a 10-year-old girl.

"Bones," 8 p.m., Fox. Here's a rerun of the show's pilot film. It's a fun start, catching the original contrast between Booth (David Boreanaz), the strong-and-solid FBI guy and Brennan (Emily Deschanel), the brainy forensics scientist who is devoid of people skills.

"20/20: Planet Earth 2007: Seven Ways to Help Save the World," 9 p.m., ABC. Scheduled (barring a late news event) is a pre-Earth Day special. Diane Sawyer views steps being taken around the world to face environmental crises.
