Tonight's Must-See

"Private Jessica Lynch: An American Story," 8:30 p.m., ABC. The 19-year-old soldier, who was rescued from an Iraqi hospital, and her family talk to Diane Sawyer.

"American Valor," 9 p.m., and "Independent Lens: Be Good, Smile Pretty," midnight, PBS. TV is filled with military stories on Veterans Day. "American Valor" is an ambitious portrait of 20 men who have won the Medal of Honor.

Then, "Independent Lens" is about a woman who learns about her father, who died in Vietnam when she was a baby. This is a flawed but involving story.

Of Note

"The Andy Griffith Reunion: Back to Mayberry," 7 p.m., CBS. Andy Griffith shows clips and chats with some of his former co-stars.

"Frasier," 8 p.m., NBC. As Maris, Niles' ex-wife, is accused of murder, the weapon has been traced to Niles. And Frasier bumbles as the family spokesman.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," 9 p.m., NBC. A murder leads to people who feel strongly about the "sexual re-education" of gay people.
