TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE (network TV): "P.O.V.: The Sweetest Sound," 10 p.m., PBS. Alan Berliner, a documentary maker, was startled when people congratulated him for a movie by a Frenchman, Alain Berliner. Becoming curious about names, he finds 12 other Alan Berliners, hosts a dinner for them all and, along the way, ruminates about names.

TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE (cable): "Resurrection Blvd," season-opener, 10 p.m., Showtime. As last season ended, the widowed Roberto Santiago (Tony Plana) saw trouble on all sides. One son, Carlos (Michael DeLorenzo) is a former great boxer who is recovering from gunshot wounds; another, Alex (Nicholas Gonzalez) tried to take over but was cheated of a championship. Meanwhile, Roberto's sister-in-law (Elizabeth Pena) has lost her beauty shop. That's a lot of woe, but tonight's hour lightens up a bit. It skillfully balances the joy and pain of family.

"Secrets of the Dead," 8 p.m., PBS. For the next six weeks, this series applies modern science to historic cases. Tonight's opener asks this: Is it possible that the deluded accusers in the Salem witch trials of 1692 were infected by the same fungus that creates LSD?
