The King of Queens (8 p.m., CBS) has back-to-back reruns. In the first, Carrie throws a surprise party for Arthur, not realizing that all his friends hate him; in the second (8:30 p.m.), Doug has an embarrassing stapler accident. Everybody Loves Raymond (9 p.m., CBS) reruns the one where Debra tries to get Marie and Frank to go out with friends of their own, but Ray has trouble separating from his Mommy. The new cable series Resurrection Blvd. (10 p.m., Showtime) premieres. Tony Plana, Michael DeLorenzo and Elizabeth Pena head the cast of this drama about an East L.A. Latino family whose younger members are searching for a way out of the barrio.

Specials

ABC and the Discovery Channel whip up a little publicity for the opening of the George Clooney seafaring adventure movie "The Perfect Storm" with a pair of tie-in specials. Vanished (8 p.m., ABC), which is a rerun, chronicles the real-life adventure of the Gloucester, Mass., fishing boat the Andrea Gail (the subject of "The Perfect Storm"), which sailed right into a humongous "storm of the century" in 1991. The Storm (9 p.m., Discovery) covers pretty much the same ground, but includes scenes from the movie.
