TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"The Princess Diaries" (2001), 7 p.m., ABC. Anne Hathaway keeps adding impressive layers of depth. Today, at 23, she's terrific in a textured role in "The Devil Wears Prada" opposite the legendary Meryl Streep. Five years ago, she was excellent in this lighter role. Hathaway plays a smart American teen who suddenly learns she's the princess of a tiny monarchy. Julie Andrews is excellent as her grandmother. Garry Marshall directed a movie that has few great moments, but remains slick and entertaining.

OF NOTE

"50 First Dates" (2004), 8 and 10 p.m., USA Network. In a beautiful Hawaiian setting (filmed on O'ahu), Adam Sandler falls for a sweet woman (Drew Barrymore) who has short-term memory loss. Every day he starts the courtship over. That sounds silly, but the stars project gentle innocence and the characters soon become endearing.

"Mission: Impossible II" (2000), 8 p.m., CBS. The good news is that John Woo directed this film, giving it great flash and flair. The bad news is that — like the other two "Mission Impossible" films — it tends to pile up plot twists and action scenes to the point of sheer excess. The cast is excellent, however, including Tom Cruise as the star and Dougray Scott as villain.

"Law & Order: Criminal Intent," 8 p.m., NBC. When a young programmer is killed at a computer company, the focus shifts to an unstable code-writer and his manipulative therapist.

"Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. A deathbed confession causes Fontana to revive the decade-old case of a murdered 12-year-old.

"The Evidence," 9 p.m., ABC. A man who was killed was concealing from his wife the fact that he had a fatal illness. That stirs some painful memories for Dr. Goldman (Martin Landau).

"Saturday Night Live," 10:30 p.m., NBC. This rerun is stuffed with the dark brilliance of writer Robert Smigel. There are a few live-action moments, but this mostly has his "TV Funhouse" animation, including "The Ambiguously Gay Duo" and "Fun With Real Audio."
