There are some funny moments, matched with a dose of violence and intensity. Kindergarten Cop, 9-11 p.m., USA Network.

Web site of the day
Whoa, it's just like court on TV, but without Judge Judy braying at you. Oh, and it costs a little more. But for $45, you and whoever you're disputing with, can have the case settled online by retired California Judge Roderic Duncan. Go to www.intellicourt.com and click on “resolution.”
