TODAY'S MUST-SEE

Olympics, 5:30 p.m., NBC. In the last day for gymnastics, there are individual medals for women's balance beam and men's parallel and high bars. Meanwhile, track-and-field events continue. Men have the 1,500-meter run; women have the 400-meter run and the 100-meter hurdles. There's more, including a new Olympic event, BMX cycling.

OF NOTE

"House," 7 p.m., Fox. Last week, Dr. House was trying to work a case on his own. Told that he must have aides, he suddenly has 40 of them, diagnosing a secretive astronaut.

"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," 8 p.m., Fox. Breaking into the FBI agent's apartment, Sarah is startled to find a file dealing with her psychiatrist.

"Wide Angle: Iraqi Refugees," 9 p.m., and "P.O.V.: The Judge and the General," 10 p.m., PBS. Two strong shows wrap up their seasons. "Angle" views the flood of refugees from Iraq. "P.O.V." has the compelling story of a mild-mannered Chilean judge, a quiet conservative who was expected to ignore a probe of former dictator Augusto Pinochet. Instead, he researched murder and tortures, then issued three indictments.

"Primetime: Medical Mysteries," 9 p.m., ABC. One story views a 12-year-old who is 7 feet tall. Another involves silver poisoning, which causes the skin to turn blue.
