MONDAY
NOVEMBER 112:30-1:30PM The Young and the Restless (CBS, TV-14-D) On Y&R's 8,000th episode (that's 364 sitcom years!), a Brad-free Ashley begins to plot her umpteenth reconciliation with Victor — over Nikki's dead body! Meanwhile, Phyllis' boy toy, Damon, takes a machete to his son's killer; J.T. shoots killer looks at Bobby as he exchanges vows with Brittany (left); and alligators may not have killed Malcolm after all. The plots may seem awfully familiar (Earth to Ashley: Victor's never gonna marry ya!). But in its 32nd season, TV's most watched sudser is far from washed up. B+ —Lynette Rice
9-10PM Las Vegas (NBC, TV-14) The guys prep their peewee football team for the big game until one player's dad suddenly disappears. Whaddayamean, what football team? The kids team! The one they just happen to have never mentioned before. What? They gotta tell you everything?
9-10PM Everwood (The WB, TV-PG-DL) Life's rough for Ephram when he gets an STD test. He can either go to Dr. Dad or to the doctor who knows his dad. It's a rock/hard-place kinda thing.
9-11PM Identity Theft (Lifetime, TV-PG-L) Annabella Sciorra wants Kimberly Williams' good credit. 'Cause Sears doesn't hand those cards out to just anybody.
10-10:59PM The Saturday Night Live Presidential Bash 2004: The Great Debates (NBC, TV-14) Tonight we laugh. For on the morrow, we wring our hands in despair, crying ''Damn you, Jon Stewart, for not running for public office!''
