"Queer As Folk" star Gale Harold plays Senior FBI Agent Graham Kelton in this mystery series about the search for the beautiful young wife of Sen. Jeffrey Collins (John Allen Nelson, "24").

They desperately try to keep their relationship a secret, but during a tense hostage stand-off, Matt accidentally reveals the secret to all their colleagues. Their boss is not pleased, and the couple chooses to end their romantic relationship but stay partners at work.

Matt and Emily soon discover that being platonic is not as easy as they thought.

"Justice"

3"'Til Death"

They're on day 8,743 of their marriage while Steph (Kat Foster, "Law & Order") and Jeff Woodcock (Eddie Kaye Thomas, "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle") have been married for 12 blissful days.

"Happy Hour"
(Thursday 8:30 p.m.)

Stars John Sloan as Henry Beckman, a guy who has everything a great job, perfect girlfriend, nice apartment — and then loses it all in one day. That same day, he meets Larry, a colorful character who just happens to be looking for a roommate. Zaniness ensues.

The show also stars Lex Medlin as Larry Cone, and Beth Lacke as Amanda. The "buddy comedy" is created by Jackie Filgo and Jeff Filgo ("That '70s Show".)

5"Celebrity Duets"
(Thursday 9 p.m., Friday 9 p.m.)

An odd array of athletes and b-list celebrities are paired up with different music stars each week to sing and be judged by Marie Osmond, Little Richard and producer David Foster. The show premiered on Aug. 29.

Most of the celebrity contestants are not known for their singing, but Jai Rodriguez ("Queer Eye For The Straight Guy") has starred on Broadway in the musical "Rent." Lucy Lawless, Alfonso Ribeiro, and Hal Sparks are still in the running.
