TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Women's Murder Club," 9 p.m., ABC. For some perverse reason, ABC has been following its best show ("Grey's Anatomy") with one of its worst ("Big Shots"). Tonight, it tries an alternative. "Women's Murder Club," a good show that airs at 8 p.m. Fridays, borrows this slot. Angie Harmon, a strong and subtle actress, stars as a tough cop. She huddles with other women — a medical examiner, an assistant district attorney and a reporter — to solve cases. Tonight, a football player is slain and a colleague wants help. He's played by Jason Sehorn, who happens to be a football commentator, a former all-pro (retired after 10 seasons) and Harmon's husband.

"Rain Man" (1988), 8 p.m., E. This is a strong movie night all over, but few films can match this brilliant classic. Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise are perfect as a savant and his hard-charging brother. The result has a surprising swirl of drama, warmth and humor.
