Prime Pick
FOX / Eric Leibowitz
Julianna Margulies takes center stage tonight as a fast-talking, rule-breaking attorney in the new drama "Canterbury's Law" (8 p.m. EDT on Fox). Of course we loved Margulies as nurse Hathaway on "E.R." and more recently as Tony's lover on the last season of "The Sopranos," and she's certainly on fire here, bringing the nasty, condescending tone of Nancy Grace to her toughest battles. So it's too bad they didn't give her character some other profession -- anything that will keep us from watching the same overdramatic courtroom scenes over and over again. Let's see ... Canterbury's Dog Grooming Service?

On "The Bachelor: Where Are They Now?" (8 p.m. EDT on ABC) we finally find out which of those smarmy hunks found true love, and which are still milking their "Bachelor" fame for all it's worth. Paul has a talk with his kids on "In Treatment" (9:30 a.m. EDT on HBO), and Meryl Streep stars in "Sophie's Choice" at 9:40 p.m. on FLIX. Finally, "High School Confidential," a documentary series that follows girls' lives over their four years in high school, premieres at 10 p.m. EDT on WE.
