I spent four years in the Highland High School choir singing my little vocally challenged heart out.

If only that meant I could be closer to Michael Bolton on NBC's "Clash of the Choirs" (7 p.m., KOB-Channel 4). Instead, geography and perhaps my lack of talent are keeping us apart.

The much-mocked crooner is one of five celebrities who have traveled to their hometowns to assemble choirs to compete against one another.

In the four-night series, Bolton is joined by Patti LaBelle, Nick Lachey, Kelly Rowland and Blake Shelton as they help their little local songbirds learn to fly.

One choir gets the boot tonight, and viewer votes determine whose dulcet tones are the best. The series continues through Thursday.

The winning choir and the celebrity who selected them will pick a prize that will help their hometown and give back to their community.

My heart is warmed.

The documentary "The Missing Years of Jesus" (7 p.m., National Geographic) delves into his life from age 12 to 30.

That's almost 20 years missing from the man at the core of the Christian religion. Sheesh, there's more information about Paris Hilton's stint in jail than there is about Jesus' 20s. Tsk, tsk.

To make up for that, scholars are studying the missing years by examining stories in the New Testament Gospels and reconciling this record with archaeological discoveries. They look at what his family life might have been like, as well as his education and possible employment.

Jesus might have hated math, too. Totally awesome.

"Saving Grace" (8 p.m., TNT) is painful. It's not a bad show, but it manages to bring up a whole mess of disturbing issues.

The drama about Grace Anadarko (Holly Hunter), a tormented, skanky and self-destructive Oklahoma City police detective, certainly never takes the easy route, tackling sex abuse, Alzheimer's and graphic murder. All the while, Grace's last-chance angel is there trying to help her get right with this world.

He has a very, very hard job, one that clearly cannot pay enough.

Tonight, a murder trial results in the arrival of a snippy Los Angeles defense attorney, whose work may bring to light some potentially sloppy investigative work by the detectives, not to mention the muck of their lousy personal lives.

Meanwhile, Grace's partner, Ham (Kenny Johnson), considers disclosing his love for her, and Grace gets smacked down by the coolest nun ever.

That should happen so much more often.
