9:00pm Intervention A&E - If you've been watching "Breaking Bad" the last couple weeks, here's the real deal on crystal meth addiction.
9:15pm The Red Pony TCM - (1949) A John Steinbeck screenplay based on a John Steinbeck book, starring the lovely Myrna Loy, Robert Mitchum, and Beau Bridges in his first credited role.
9:30pm In Treatment HBO - Series Premiere. This re-done Israeli offering is on every weeknight for the next several weeks. The idea that this would bring in tsunami of fan appreciation is a joke, it doesn't contain the lowbrow humor, violence, or boobs, that "The Sopranos" had, but intellectuals, or those who think they are, will love it.
