Must-see

Friends, 8 p.m., Channels 5, 22.

Greg Kinnear offers a boost in this terrific rerun.

He plays a top scholar who is managing a foundation that could give Ross a grant. The catch: Ross can have the money only if he dumps his girlfriend Charlie (Aisha Tyler) - the former girlfriend of Kinnear's character.

That story works wonderfully. The other parts - Phoebe's weird artwork, Joey's odd audition tape - are mostly silly.

The Graham Norton Effect, 10 p.m., Comedy Central.

Can American TV capture the offbeat zest of British humor? It will try again with this talk show.

The British version is a delight. Outspoken and flamboyant, Norton finds new ways to mix guests, sketches, music and the studio audience.

If the American bosses leave him alone, this will be a terrific show.
