TONIGHT'S MUST-SEES
"So You Think You Can Dance," 7 p.m., Fox. The auditions wrap up tonight, funneling more people to the next round in Las Vegas. So far, there's been a rich variety. There are untrained street performers with amazing moves; there are highly trained dancers with lyrical grace. And there are untalented sorts from both worlds.
"Pride & Prejudice" (2005), 5 p.m., Oxygen. Joe Wright is a miraculous director, using stunning pictures and sparse words. He did that with "Redemption" and with this film. Both were blessed with Keira Knightley, who can silently project cascades of emotion. Knightley plays Elizabeth, in a family desperate to see its daughters marry. Other gifted actors — Judi Dench, Brenda Blethyn, etc. — are in support.
OF NOTE
"The Memory Keeper's Daughter" (2008), 6 and 9 p.m., Lifetime. Once you get past the overwrought beginning, you'll find a beautifully acted drama. Emily Watson is superb.
"Men in Trees," 9 p.m., ABC. Marin finishes her book, celebrates with a vacation — and sees Julia's husband with another woman. Also, Patrick has his memory back.
