Monday's Best Bets on TV

“Chuck” (8 p.m., NBC): The kooky spy drama, “Chuck,” is off to a great start this season, and the fun continues when John Larroquette drops by for a guest stint. He plays a debonair spy who has seen better days. Melinda Clarke (”The O.C.”) also guest stars.

“Two and a Half Men” (9 p.m., NBC): It’s a night of firsts on “Two and a Half Men” as Charlie tries his hand at cooking, Alan attempts to date two women at the same time and Jake tries a swig of beer. Our heads just might explode pondering the possibilities.
