HDTV Listings for August 28, 2006

What we're watching:

Monday Night Football -- on a Monday this time -- showcases the return of Carson Palmer and the Bengals after last season's torn ACL and season-ending loss to the Steelers as they face Brett Fav-ruh and the Packers. Prison Break and Vanished have their fall seasons off and running as they debut their second episodes, joining Saved and The Closer as Monday regulars.

Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
