Can she commit?

MEREDITH (Ellen Pompeo) and Cristina (Sandra Oh) lie to each other about the status of their relationships on “Grey’s Anatomy.” Cristina hasn’t told her live-in boyfriend, Pre-ston (Isaiah Washing-ton), that she has kept her own apartment, as a fallback. Meredith is still stuck on Dr. Mc Dreamy. George (T.R. Knight) is given the unpleasant task of discharging an elderly patient who’s no longer sick, but refuses to leave the hospital; and Alex (Justin Chambers) learns how he did on his medical exams.

Walking on eggshells

INTERNAL AFFAIRS troublemaker Jon Kavanaugh (Forest Whitaker) has the cops dancing to a different tune on “The Shield.” With his creepy demeanor and unsettling habit of offering suspects a stick of chewing gum as a test of their resolve, Kavanaugh isn’t the by-the-books investigator we’ve seen a million times before on television. While investigating Lem (Kenneth Johnson) on corruption, Kavanaugh shows up at the Barn to pay a visit to Vic (Michael Chiklis). Meanwhile, Tina (Paula Garces) goes out on an undercover operation to bust a sex-trafficking operation.

Horror, revisited

THE true story behind Israel’s response to the murder of its athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics is the subject of “Munich: The Real Assassins.” Call it the anti-Spielberg view of “Munich.” As Israel continues to officially deny that its covert war of revenge ever happened, the film-makers interview the real assassins, speaking for the first time about their controversial actions and revealing information never before made public. They tell the story of this secret operation in which elite secret agents were sent on undercover missions against Palestinian militants throughout Europe and the Middle East.

WHAT’S it like being raised by gay parents? The MTV series “True Life: I Have Gay Parents” focuses on the lives of three teens who discover that their homes aren’t that different than many of their peers with straight parents. Sure, there’s the usual buffet of mixed emotions – joy, angst, confusion – but these kids know that good parenting doesn’t depend on sexuality.
