“Chuck” (8 p.m., NBC): Kristen Kruek and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin guest star in “Chuck” as our nerdy hero heads off on his first solo mission to Paris. Better put the Eiffel Tower on lock-down.
“Damages” (10 p.m., FX): Season 3 of this intense legal thriller offers shades of the Bernie Madoff debacle. Tough-as-nails attorney Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) is appointed by the U.S. government to recover billions of dollars lost to the largest investment fraud in Wall Street history. The new case pits Patty against a powerful family determined to protect its interests — and secrets — at all costs. Joining the show are comedy veterans Martin Short and Lily Tomlin, who play against type in a story that is sure to have plenty of wild twists and turns.
