What to Watch for week of AUGUST 1

Bogie and Bacall have had more than enough of their share of 'private' moments

The Big Sleep: Everett Collection

MONDAY

8-9PM Private Screenings: Lauren Bacall (TCM, TV-PG) Whether dishing on ex-lovers (like Bogie, left with Bacall) and ex-crushes (like John Wayne), or threatening her lapdog (''Sophie, quiet — or I'll slam you!''), the actress proves that even at 80, she's still a real brass tack of a woman. But some of us already knew that, since most of the juicy old anecdotes she shares here will be nothing new to hardcore fans. B+ —Michelle Kung

6:30-7PM The Golden Palace (Lifetime, TV-PG-D) The '92-93 Golden Girls spin-off lasted only one season without Bea Arthur's irreplaceable Dorothy. In this debut ep, the remaining ladies — Rue McClanahan and Betty White and Estelle Getty — are snookered into buying a Miami hotel with almost no staff. So the plucky seniors have to run the place themselves, with help from Cheech Marin and a one-liner-spoutin' Don Cheadle. It's nostalgic fun, but without the original quartet of Girls, it's impossible to truly enjoy these Golden years. Series: C Episode: C+ —Paul Katz

8-9PM 7th Heaven (The WB, TV-G) Lucy exposes her baby to neighbors' germs, Lyme disease, and the Ebola virus. But none of that is as deadly as Tara Lipinski's cameo over on Still Standing. (R)

8-11PM The Sixth Sense (ABC, TV-14) Look, no matter how many times you watch it, you won't find any ''flaws'' or punch any ''holes,'' and it's always gonna ''work.'' Stop torturing yourself.

9-10PM The Closer (TNT, TV-14) It's confusing. Her chocolate jones says, ''C'mere, baby, let me finger-paint you in ganache,'' but the Funyuns say, ''Back off.''

9-11PM Officer Down (Lifetime, TV-14-LV) No, I can't. It's too good. Okay, tiny hint: Sherilyn Fenn. Oh, now I've said too much!

10-10:59PM Medium (NBC, TV-14) Frances Fisher guests as a '60s-sitcom psychic with a slim hold on her husband and an even more tenuous grasp on sanity. (R)

10-11PM CSI: Miami (CBS, TV-14-V) Pirates! But not of the swishy, cool Keith Richards variety. (R)
