Basic training Since Denzel Washington won an Oscar for his role in 2001's "Training Day" (6:30 p.m., BET), does that mean it's his finest performance? Of course not. Personally, I would have rather seen him give a speech for "Malcolm X" or "Courage Under Fire." Still, there's no denying his performance as the baddest of bad detectives is powerful. Rewatch and shiver all over again.

Best of the best Neil Patrick Harris, Zooey Deschanel and the creators of "Lost" are among the lucky celebs who get to sample the dishes of "Top Chef Masters" (9 p.m., Bravo) in which two dozen of the world's best cooks compete to see who gets to give $100,000 to his or her favorite charity and feed grapes to "Top Chef" hostess Padma Lakshmi.

Ragged glory Neil Young's new box set gives the word "exhaustive" a new definition. If only the documentary "Neil Young: Don't Be Denied" (8:30 p.m., KTCA, Ch. 2) had a tenth of that collection's ambition. Young provides some clever insight into his songwriting process, but the 90-minute movie skips over major chapters in the artist's career. The filmmakers should have either tried to be more thorough or simply focused on a few years of his life. By landing somewhere in the middle, the project feels like an unfinished song.
