TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Great Performances: Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story," 9 p.m., PBS. In the 1950s and early '60s, tiny record labels could still reach the top of the charts. Memphis had Sun Records and Elvis Presley. It also had Stax Records, defining the soul sound. This was the label of Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Booker T. Jones and Isaac Hayes. When Sun seemed to forget its black stars, Stax added Rufus Thomas and more. The songs that emerged remain classics — "Soul Man," "Midnight Hour," "Respect Yourself," "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay." All of this came from an unlikely setting — a former movie theater, where two white siblings had started the label.

"King of Queens," 7 p.m., CBS. Usually overlooked during its long run, this series ended with a fun hour that reruns tonight. The occasion is the wedding of Carrie's dad (Jerry Stiller) to a nightclub singer. Other issues, however, swirl. Will Doug and Carrie move to Manhattan? Will they adopt a baby in China? There are some clever twists, including a chance to see the great old comedy duo of Stiller and his wife, Anne Meara.

OF NOTE

"Perfect Predators," 6 p.m., Discovery Channel. During 400 million years of evolution, sharks have formed fierce skills. This new special studies their behavior and efforts to match the technology of shark skin.

"So You Think You Can Dance," 7 p.m., Fox. There are only eight dancers left, with viewers ready to trim again.

"Rescue Me," 7 p.m., FX. A fierce fire has a strong effect on the department. Also, Tommy struggles with his feelings about the baby. And Alicia (Susan Sarandon) is back, proposing a deal for Franco.

"High School Musical" (2006), 8 p.m., Disney Channel. In 16 days, Disney will introduce this film's buoyant sequel. First, here's yet another chance (approximately the six-hundredth or so) to see the original.

"American Inventor" finale, 8 p.m., ABC. Three inventors are up for the million-dollar prize.

"Last Comic Standing," 8 p.m., NBC. One of the most popular episodes last summer came when the comics took turns heckling each other. That happens again tonight, with the final 10 comics.

"The Nine," 9 p.m., ABC. This terrific series died early, when it became too complicated for viewers to follow. Now it gets to play off its final hours. Tonight, most of the former hostages at the bank must testify.
