TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"The School of Rock" (2003), 5 p.m., TBS. Smart people don't always have to work on somber movies, you know. Here, several combined for some fun fluff, suitable for any age. Richard Linklater ("Slackers," "Dazed and Confused") directed. Mike White ("The Good Girl") wrote the script and took a supporting role, alongside Sarah Silverman. That left Jack Black with the fun part. He plays a rock musician who poses as a substitute teacher, then actually does some good. White writes subtly, Black acts broadly. In several movies, that's been a fine combination.

"1 vs. 100," 7 p.m., NBC. Here's a rerun of the first episode, which was fairly entertaining. People tackle trivia questions, ousting audience members who get them wrong. Tonight's audience includes valedictorians and "Deal or No Deal" models. It also includes "Jeopardy" champion Ken Jennings.

OF NOTE

"Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" (2001), 7 p.m., Fox. The world is still low on female action heroes, so Angelina Jolie threw herself into this film, which adapts a computer game. Critics had little good to say about it, other than that Jolie looked splendid. That may have been enough; it was a box-office hit.

"Ghost Whisperer," 7 p.m., CBS. It's funny what things can trigger a romantic memory. Melinda meets the ghost of an arsonist; this reminds her of the fire on the day she met her future husband.

"Head Over Heels" (2001), 8 p.m., ABC Family. A young woman (Monica Potter) is really attracted to her handsome neighbor (Freddie Prinze Jr.), except for the fact that he might have killed someone.

"Close to Home," 8 p.m., CBS. A businessman is accused of killing his wife, who was having an affair. Prosecuting him is difficult, because he has a slick lawyer.

"Law & Order: Criminal Intent," 8 p.m., NBC. A doctor is killed, after having many affairs. One of them was with his son's teacher; police suspect her angry husband.

"Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. In its efforts to rip off headlines, this show sometimes sinks to shabby depths. This episode has characters copied after Britney Spears and then-husband Kevin Federline, then heaps on the bad traits. It's one thing to satirize celebrities, another to portray one of them as a murderer.

"Numb3rs," 9 p.m., CBS. A senator and a psychiatrist are killed in different ways, in different parts of town. Still, there are hints that these two may be linked in some way.
