Tonight's Must-See

"Charlie's Angels" (2000), 7 p.m., ABC. As June begins, viewers can settle into a sunnier, sillier mood. This movie is ideal. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu play the sleekly beautiful crime fighters. John Forsythe provides the voice of their unseen boss — as he did in the ABC series, from 1976 to 1981. Bill Murray is his intermediary, Bosley. An impressive supporting cast includes Matt LeBlanc, Luke Wilson and Sam Rockwell. The real star, however, is the director known as McG. Occasionally, McG goes too far, creating fight scenes so unrealistic they aren't much fun to watch. Mostly, however, he's molded a slick, stylish and fun movie.

Of Note

"The O.C.," 7 and 8 p.m., Fox. McG competes with himself tonight. He directed the "Charlie's Angels" movie and he concocted this series, from his boyhood memories of moving to Orange County, Calif. In the first rerun, Seth and Ryan learn they blew their romances by being gone for the summer. In the second, they start to get them back.

"Joey," 7 p.m., NBC. Joey is bummed that his friends love the show he turned down. Desperate for work, he storms in to see his eccentric agent (Jennifer Coolidge).

"Will & Grace," 7:30 p.m., NBC. Sharon Stone plays a therapist. When she pays more attention to Grace, Will begins competing for attention. Soon, they're trying to top each other.

"Hit Me Baby One More Time," 8 p.m., NBC. A three-week run begins for an offbeat British show that brings back people who had a big music hit, then faded from attention. The line-up ranges from Tiffany to Billy Ray Cyrus — who has had lots of country music and acting success but only crossed over with "Achy Breaky Heart." Each performer sings the original hit and one contemporary song, with voters picking a favorite; Vernon Kay is the host, just as he is for the British show.

"Without a Trace," 9 p.m., CBS. A nurse disappears after getting a flat tire late at night.
