Earlier this summer, when I discovered that CBS had canceled my beloved "Jericho" yet renewed "Rules of Engagement" (8:30 p.m., KRQE News 13), my impotent rage knew no bounds.

Cool post-apocalyptic drama goes bye-bye while lame stereotypical relationship comedy lives to fight another day.

Oh, heck no!

CBS did see the light eventually and kept "Jericho," so these days I am trying to make peace with the rest of their scheduling decisions.

This is not an easy task, people.

Tonight, we can relive all the fun of "Rules of Engagement" from the very beginning as newly engaged Adam (Oliver Hudson), moves in with his sugar-pie, Jennifer (Bianca Kajlich), during a repeat of the pilot episode.

Adam's excitement over the prospect of getting hitched is dampened by next-door neighbor Jeff (Patrick Warburton), a jaded married man of a whole 12 years.

Jeff explains to ignorant Adam how compromise works when living with a woman.

"We compromise all the time. Like when we got our first apartment, she wanted to get a cat. I didn't want to get a cat. So we compromised and got cat."

Hmm, I'm still not laughing at that one.

Meanwhile, Jennifer fixes up Adam's best friend, Russell (David Spade), because she just knows that a special lady could change his womanizing ways.

That's yet another issue I have with this show - weenie David Spade as a lothario? Are you kidding me? Do the casting people think America is blind, as well as deaf, and therefore unable to see that Spade is actually a weasel masquerading in human form?

Hell has clearly frozen over in a freaky, freaky way.

"Greek" (7, 10 p.m., ABC Family) is another show that got picked up for more episodes. I just don't feel dirty about it.

The show about fraternity and sorority folk continues to amuse me with its oddball characters and ethical dilemmas.

Tonight's is pretty darn serious, though. As a demanding week of midterm exams approaches, Rusty (Jacob Zachar) considers a sure-fire way to keep his grades up while not missing out on the fun with his fraternity brothers at the Kappa house.

Meanwhile, sparks fly between separated soulmates Casey (Spencer Grammer) and Cappie (Scott Foster), when they are paired on a school project.

If there is justice in this cruel, cruel world, these lovebirds will get back together.
