Frasier (9 p.m., NBC) reruns the "Antiques Roadshow" episode -- again.

ER (10 p.m., NBC) repeats one of the Alan Alda episodes (his character's behavior is starting to raise suspicions about his health). 20/20 Downtown (10 p.m., ABC) has a report on American women working as prostitutes in Amsterdam. Film Threat Weekly writer Chris Gore heads up The New Movie Show (10:30 p.m., FX), a weekly panel discussion about new movie releases that not only includes critics, but regular folk as well. The music discussion show The List (11 p.m., VH1) has an intriguing topic -- "Best Male Singer of All Time" -- and some intriguing panelists, namely Charisma Carpenter of "Angel," Allison Janney of "The West Wing" and Alex Kingston of "ER."
