Of Note

"Biography," 5, 9 p.m., A&E. Here are two hours on Pamela Anderson. (OK, but we'd better not learn they only gave one hour to Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr.)

"48 Hrs." (1982), 6 p.m., AMC. A tired cop (Nick Nolte) gets a 19-year-old (Eddie Murphy) out of prison for two days to help track a dangerous crook. This is a terrific movie — cleverly written, sharply directed (by Walter Hill) and perfectly played by the stars. One scene, with Murphy dominating a redneck bar, is a classic.

"Joan of Arcadia," 7 p.m., CBS. In a futile attempt to get younger viewers and save the show, "Joan" brought in teen favorite Hilary Duff as a guest. She plays a classmate who's snooty, until Joan saves her life. Now she's way too clingy.

"The Glass House" (2001), 7 p.m., Fox. A orphaned teen (Leelee Sobieski) and her younger brother move in with a Malibu couple (Diane Lane and Stellan Skarsgard), then their real troubles begin.

"Law & Order: Trial by Jury," 9 p.m., NBC. A young nanny has been accused of killing a baby. The prosecution faces a judge who stops their every move and a defendant who has been thoroughly coached.

"Numb3rs," 9 p.m., CBS. Can Charlie, the math whiz, prove a student didn't really commit suicide but was murdered?
