... NCIS: Los Angeles

9-10 PM CBS

CBS has spent the past few years minting money off monochromatic procedurals starring grim-faced cops projecting faux gravitas. Then there's NCIS: Los Angeles, a larky trifle that's evolved into the network's least serious — and most fun — cop show. That's especially true of tonight's episode, a will-they-or-won't-they showcase for Daniela Ruah's robo-hot Kensi and Eric Christian Olsen's snarky Deeks, who go undercover as a suburban married couple. The plot is ludicrous. Everybody flirts with one another. Every wall is painted a different bright color. And there's a sex dungeon — why not? On a network filled with stern pointy fingers, this series is a playful poke in the ribs.
