TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"According to Jim," 7 and 7:30 p.m., "Knights of Prosperity," 8 p.m., and "In Case of Emergency," 8:30 p.m.; all ABC. This is second-chance night. If you missed ABC's new Wednesday comedy lineup, you can catch the whole thing now. "Jim" is in the traditional style of situation comedies, taped in front of a studio audience. In the first episode, Jim tries to show his 6-year-old boy how to handle a bully; in the second, his comments about co-ed baby showers take him to a TV talk show. The other two shows are in the style ABC now prefers. Filmed without an audience, they have wide-ranging sets and rich comic possibilities. In "Knights," we see some clumsy attempts to get the key to Mick Jagger's apartment; the result is inconsistent but has some hilarious moments. In "Emergency," we even have one food-obsessed guy stealing a pastry truck; it's a great start for what could be a very funny series.

OF NOTE

"She's Having a Baby" (1988), 5 and 7 p.m., Oxygen. After years of successful teen comedies, writer-director John Hughes went grown-up with this gentle drama-comedy. Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern play a likable married couple; after some OK laughs, the film has some strong drama at the end.

"Ghost Whisperer," 7 p.m., CBS. Things are different for Melinda this time. She's receiving messages — including one on her husband's back — but no ghost has appeared.

"Home Alone" (1990), 8 p.m., ABC Family. Hollywood had almost forgotten the noisy delights of a large sight gag before this fun movie came along. Accidentally stranded at home, an 8-year-old (Macaulay Culkin) must keep fending off two dim-witted burglars. Cleverly written by John Hughes (again) and beautifully directed by Chris Columbus, the result brings large laughs.

"Close to Home," 8 p.m., CBS. At first, this seems to be a standard road-rage case. Then come signs that the killer knew the victim.

"Las Vegas," 8 p.m., NBC. An obscure wine — possibly worth a million dollars — has been found at the club. But is it real? Meanwhile, seniors have gathered to play the complex game Sudoku; the women, however, want Sam to find other forms of entertainment.

"The Parent Trap" (1998), 9 p.m., Disney Channel. Lindsay Lohan plays twins who meet for the first time and come up with a scheme to get their parents back together.

"Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. This starts by ripping from the headlines, with the son of a tabloid figure suddenly dying in her hospital room. From there, the story goes into complex issues of body-part transplants.

"Numb3rs," 9 p.m., CBS. When a 14-year-old girl is found near death, a polygamous man is accused of murder.
