TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE
"Apollo 13" (1995), 7 p.m., ABC. Here's a soothing dose of feel-good Americana. It has a beloved star (Tom Hanks) playing a hero (astronaut Jim Lovell). It has a true story of people using ingenuity to bring a troubled ship back to Earth. "Apollo 13" was skillfully directed by Ron Howard with superb performances by Hanks, Ed Harris, Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon and more.
