TONIGHT'S MIGHT-SEE

"The Cheetah Girls 2," 8 p.m., Disney Channel. In 2003, the "Cheetah Girls" movie was a hit, focusing on four teen friends who formed a singing group. All of them screamed a lot and behaved like a scriptwriter's overwrought vision of a teen girl; none of them seemed real. Now comes the sequel, again starring Raven, formerly known as Raven-Symone, and three lesser-known actresses. There are bouncy songs and bright settings; at times, the characters are sort of OK. Kenny Ortega has taken over as director and choreographer. From choreographing the 1987 "Dirty Dancing" to directing this year's likable "High School Musical," he creates attractive films. In this sequel, the girls enter a music competition in Spain. The movie was shot in Barcelona, with Belinda Peregrin — an appealing, 16-year-old singer-actress from Mexico City — co-starring. This new film is bright and bouncy and occasionally believable. For the "Cheetah" films, that's a big improvement.

OF NOTE

"Pearl Harbor" (2001), 7 p.m., ABC. Lots of money was spent on explosions and such, apparently leaving no money for a real script. Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett star in a romance that has interchangeable (albeit attractive) pieces.

"In Her Shoes" (1985), 5 p.m., HBO. After directing such macho films as "L.A. Confidential" and "8 Mile," Curtis Hanson made an impressive change of pace. He got solid comedy and drama out of the love-hate relationship between mismatched sisters (Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette) and their grandmother (Shirley MacLaine).

"Law & Order: Criminal Intent," 8 and 9 p.m., NBC. NBC drops in a couple of reruns. The first has a young violinist killed at an opera house. A prime suspect is the conductor (Julian Sands), who may have been having an affair with the victim and her mother, a star soprano (Alice Krige). In the second, cops start to worry about a voodoo curse.
