TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Catch Me If You Can" (2002), 7 p.m., ABC. Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio and Steven Spielberg provide frothy fun. DiCaprio plays former real-life conman Frank Abagnale Jr. Tom Hanks plays the federal agent who pursues him. But it's rarely compelling. "Catch Me" is entertaining, without being anything more.

OF NOTE

"Scarface" (1983), 5 and 8:30 p.m., Bravo. In its full, R-rated zest, this was a solid remake. Oliver Stone wrote it, Brian De Palma directed it and Al Pacino led a cast that captured every bloody excess. But edited for a basic-cable audience, it may lose much of its power.

"CSI: Miami," 7 p.m., CBS. An investigation leads Delko to a club that rents beds by the hour. There, he loses his badge, a fact that soon creates trouble. Also in this rerun Horatio gets a fresh surprise about his brother.

"Law & Order," 7 p.m., NBC. Following the death of a conservative talk-show host, his widow is a prime suspect, but her complex love life leads to other possibilities.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (8 p.m.) and "Law & Order" (9 p.m.), both NBC. These two reruns combine for a sort of crossover story. In the first, a young woman (Estella Warren) seems to be ready to commit suicide; when she's stopped, she says she was raped and is pregnant. The second hour again focuses on her, plus a colleague (Lynda Carter).

"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," 8 p.m., CBS. A man who pretends to be Sherlock Holmes has been killed in this rerun. Naturally, the key suspects are people pretending to be Watson, Moriarty and Irene Adler.

"Saturday Night Live," 10:30 p.m., NBC. Some of the show's commercial send-ups are rerun.

TONIGHT ON K5

It's a day of UH Sports on K5, the Home Team. It begins at 11 this morning as the Warrior football team travels to Nevada. And tonight, the Wahine volleyball team takes on Idaho live at 7 in the Stan Sheriff Center.
