TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005), 7:30-10 p.m., ABC. Three immense talents combined. Tim Burton directed, Johnny Depp starred, Danny Elfman added a great score. At the core is Roald Dahl's story about an eccentric candy man (Depp). He gives five kids — only one of them worthy — a tour of his factory. This is a fable, odd and offbeat, so some viewers will shrug. Others, kids and grown-ups, will consider it wonderful.

"Bernard and Doris," 6 p.m., HBO. Loosely based on real life, this film begins with Doris Duke (Susan Sarandon) as a restless heiress, forever firing staffers. Then Bernard Lafferty (Ralph Fiennes) arrives. Fresh from alcohol rehab, he's a penniless butler. He would become Duke's platonic friend, confidante and heir. Bob Balaban has directed this beautifully, getting richly restrained performances. He emerges with a balanced portrait of two people who are flawed but likable.

OF NOTE

"A Charlie Brown Valentine," 7 p.m., ABC. Assembled from "Peanuts" cartoon strips, this 2002 cartoon gives Charlie Brown another chance to meet the little red-haired girl.

Auto racing, 3 p.m., Fox. The NASCAR season gets off to an early start, with the Budweiser Shootout in Daytona Beach. It's a short one (70 laps, two hours), but includes Dale Earnhardt Jr., competing against the team built by his late father.

"Shark," 7 p.m., CBS. In this rerun, the murder victim is the wife of a tough judge who twice tried to disbar Sebastian.

"How Great Thou Art: Gospel Favorites Live From the Grand Old Opry," 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., GAC (Great American Country)/KHON digital 585. Forget the "live" part, which is sheer hype; instead, settle in for some great music performed both at the current Opry and at the old Ryman Auditorium. In a sampling, we were particularly struck by Carrie Underwood's soaring "How Great Thou Art" and Brad Paisley's unplugged "Old Rugged Cross." The lineup also has Vince Gill, Sara Evans, Trace Adkins, Charlie Daniels, Ronnie Milsap and more.

"iCarly," 6 p.m., Nickelodeon. The show's teen star, Miranda Cosgrove, introduces Nickelodeon's "Crush Week," leading into Valentine's Day. Here's a pleasantly adequate episode in which Miranda's friend goes giddy over a questionable guy.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," 8 p.m., NBC. The wife of a Nigerian man has been killed, in this rerun. Was this because of his testimony in a trial, or because he follows a tradition of polygamy?

"Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. The probe of a mail bomb reveals details of a doctor's controversial research. There are some strong performances in this rerun, but the plot requires extreme coincidences.
