TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Veronica Mars," 7 p.m., CBS. This is the second of three Fridays in which CBS is rerunning this first-rate show from its sister channel, UPN. The series has the terrific Kristen Bell as a teenager who works after hours for her dad's detective agency. It manages to mix mysteries with the angst of a young outsider. Tonight, she's been framed and arrested for selling false IDs. While investigating, she comes across a secret society at school.

"Monk," 10 p.m., USA Network. In the popular movie "Sideways," a California wine-tasting tour was a pleasant and life-changing experience. For Monk, alas, it's closer to a life-ending experience. To mark the anniversary of his marriage to his late wife, he heads into wine country. He comes across an embezzler and a mob hit man.


OF NOTE

"Apollo 13" (1995), 4 p.m., Bravo. With his usual strong and uncluttered style, Ron Howard beautifully directed this true story about a crisis on a moon mission. Tom Hanks stars with great support from Ed Harris, Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon and more.

"Arrested Development," 7 p.m., Fox. Here is another chance to savor four straight reruns of this witty, Emmy-winning comedy. In the first, Michael (Jason Bateman) can get immunity if he turns in his fugitive father. In the second, the Christmas party is complicated when Gob causes trouble and Lindsay is hunting for a guy. In the third, Gob gets a job offer with suspicious timing — it's from the opponents in an upcoming grudge softball game. In the fourth, the company stock is finally unfrozen and a spending spree follows.

"Reba," 8 p.m., WB. Van is in trouble with his wife, Cheyenne. When he buys her flowers, the problems build.

"Numb3rs," 9 p.m., CBS. Authorities assume a student committed suicide, jumping from a bridge. Charlie doubts that and thinks the guy's thesis was a factor.

"Crossing Jordan," 9 p.m., NBC. When skeletal remains are found in a scary house, Jordan plunges into a 40-year-old mystery. Meanwhile, Macy and Woody are probing a soldier's unusual death.
