Tonight's Must-See

"Hack" season finale, 8 p.m., CBS. This complex drama puts new pressure on Mike (David Morse), who was once a semi-corrupt cop and is now a heroic cab driver: Mike is being framed for a double murder.

"A Mighty Wind" (2003), 7 p.m., HBO. Here's an offbeat pleasure made with sly skill and quiet wit. Christopher Guest starred in the classic "This Is Spinal Tap," then directed similar pseudo-documentary comedies — "Waiting for Guffman" and "Best in Show." Now comes the Oscar-nominated "A Mighty Wind," about a reunion concert by long-ago folk stars. Guest plays a Peter Yarrow look-alike in the Folksmen; Eugene Levy (who co-wrote the script with him) plays the deeply troubled Mitch Cohen. There are also the New Main Street Singers, who are way too cheery and color-coordinated. It adds up to a fun film.

Of Note

"Good Will Hunting" (1997), 6 and 8:45 p.m., Bravo. Superbly directed by Gus Van Sant. Matt Damon wrote the Oscar-winning script (with Ben Affleck) and stars as a tough dropout who is a math genius. There's great support from Minnie Driver, Robin Williams (who won an Oscar) and more.

"Doctor Dolittle" (1998), 7 p.m., ABC. Eddie Murphy stars in a broad comedy, playing the guy who can talk to animals.
