SAVING GRACE. 10 p.m. Monday, TNT.
THE PHRASE "passion project" gets thrown around a lot in Hollywood, but in television, where even the brightest ideas can lose luster in the grind of a weekly series, passion like Holly Hunter's can be hard to sustain.
HOPKINS.10 p.m. Thursdays, tomorrow through July 31, Channel 6
ONE OF THE MOST watchable dramas on television this summer has people doing the kinds of things you usually see on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" - cutting open sick patients and making some well, all the while complaining about their love lives (or the lack thereof) to the accompaniment of music you just might want to hear again.
- P.O.V.'s TRACES OF THE TRADE: A STORY FROM THE DEEP NORTH. 10 p.m. tomorrow, Channel 12. HEAVY LOAD. 9 tonight, IFC.
- CAMP ROCK. 8 p.m. tomorrow, Disney Channel; 8 p.m. Saturday, Channel 6; and 8 p.m. Sunday, ABC Family. THERE ARE two kinds of television viewers this weekend: Those who know who the Jonas Brothers are, and those for whom the words "Camp Rock" will mean nothing at all.
- TORI & DEAN: HOME SWEET HOLLYWOOD. 10 tonight, Oxygen. FLIPPING OUT. 10 tonight, Bravo. BLACK GOLD. 10 p.m. tomorrow, truTV.
- SECRET DIARY OF A CALL GIRL. 10:30 tonight, Showtime. 'THE FIRST thing you should know about me is that I'm a whore," Hannah [Billie Piper] tells us as she heads off to an appointment, dressed in a stylish black business suit and pearls.
- SO MUCH TV, so little time: _ The Parents Television Council, unable to persuade more than 8.5 million people last week to skip the premiere of CBS' "Swingtown" - which it contends "drives a stake through the institution of marriage and family" - is at it again.
- MY BOYS. 9:30 p.m. tomorrow, TBS. TBS' "MY Boys" is one of those shows you might not realize you were missing until it comes back.
- SO YOU MAY have noticed John McCain and Barack Obama hanging around Lifetime this weekend, pretending to know something about the estrogen-fueled network's No. 1 hit, "Army Wives."
- ROMAN POLANSKI: WANTED AND DESIRED. 9 tonight, HBO. YOU WOULDN'T expect director Roman Polanski to find much understanding among members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, most of whom have probably never seen his movies.
- ARMY WIVES. 10 p.m. Sunday, Lifetime. THERE MAY be people tenacious enough to hang from a cliff for more than nine months, but I'm apparently not one of them.
- SWINGTOWN. 10 p.m. tomorrow, Channel 3. TELEVISION KEEPS trying to adjust the picture on my memories of the '70s. First it was "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson's touching pronouncement that the 1970s were his favorite musical decade, casting a rosy light on an era that, OK, maybe sounds a little better from a distance than it did to those of us jammed next to the speakers.
