Mike Hughes doesn't recommend any must-see shows this weekend, but here are his recommendations of things you might want to check out:

TODAY'S MIGHT-SEE

"Mistresses," 4 p.m., BBC America; preceded by a rerun at 3. Both episodes repeat through the evening.

Four gifted actresses settle into a carefully crafted drama.

Katie (Sarah Parish), a doctor, had an affair with her patient. He died in last week's opener (rerunning at 3 p.m.); now his son presses to learn the identity of her dad's mystery woman.

Siobhan (Orla Brady), a lawyer, has been obsessing on fertility problems. She also stumbled into a one-time affair with her co-worker; tonight, medical news provides a jolt.

Jessica (Shelley Conn) savors a life of quick affairs with her boss and others. Tonight, she leans to the one relationship she can't handle.

Meanwhile, Trudi (Sharon Small) remains in limbo. She hasn't dated since her husband died in the World Trade Center attacks; now a quiet guy seems interested.

All of this is leading somewhere, as a solid drama unfolds.

TONIGHT'S MIGHT-SEE

"Friday Night Lights," 8 p.m., NBC.

As the coach's wife AND the high school principal, Tami Taylor can get tugged in all directions.

Tonight, she has her moments. She deals with parents whose son lied to them -- and with Landry, who has just received shattering moments.

It's not one of the better episodes for this great series, but it's still well above average. And there are key moments for Jason Street, the paraplegic ex-quarterback, groping for a new life.

SATURDAY'S MIGHT-SEE COMEDIES

Will Ferrell movies, ABC and TBS.

Will Ferrell's brand of comedy -- big and broad, scatter-shot and sometimes quite funny -- seems to score with TV audiences. Tonight, we get three choices.

On cable, TBS has a double-feature. At 4 p.m. is "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (2006), with some funny glimpses at a fictional race driver; Sacha Baron Cohen plays a champion from overseas. At 7 is "Old School" (2003), with three pals -- Ferrell, Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn -- trying to re-live the old days by starting a fraternity.

ABC counters at 8 p.m. with "Bewitched" (2005). Starring in a remake of the "Bewitched" TV series, Ferrell's character chooses someone (Nicole Kidman) who really is a witch. The film includes Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris and Shirley MacLaine.

SATURDAY'S MIGHT-SEE DRAMA

"America," 7 p.m., Lifetime.

Tossed around by the foster-care system, a boy named America (Philip Johnson) has grown distant and brooding. Now he's 17; if he doesn't change, he'll lose his one chance for the state to fund his college education.

This is based on a novel by E.R. Frank, who tapped her experiences as a youth therapist in New York. Rosie O'Donnell bought the rights, moved the story to Detroit and hired top people to help.

Joyce Eliason ("Gracie's Choice") co-wrote the script with O'Donnell, the talented Yves Simoneau ("Nuremberg") directed and Ruby Dee has a brief, heartbreaking role as America's grandmother.

Still, the best work comes from relatively inexperienced people. Johnson, a novice discovered in Detroit, is excellent as America; O'Donnell, not known for drama, is just right as his therapist, a solid, blue-collar sort who won't rush him.

SUNDAY'S MIGHT-SEE I

"Jesse Stone: Thin Ice," 8 p.m., CBS.

In the fifth movie based on Robert Parker's Jesse Stone novels, the basics remain the same: Jesse (Tom Selleck) just doesn't fit as police chief of Paradise, Mass.

He's a former Los Angeles homicide cop, now in a town where people assume there are no homicides. He's supposed to get along with the town council; instead, he even ruins its money-making speed trap.

Now he dives into two cases. One is in the big city, where he tries to find the guy who almost killed him. Another involves a woman who feels her son -- stolen from the hospital seven years ago -- was taken to Paradise.

The latter story strains credibility, with several flaws. Still, the film works because Selleck has such a strong grasp of the character, a solid guy, making his own rules.

SUNDAY'S MIGHT-SEE II

"Brothers & Sisters," 8 p.m., ABC.

Ken Olin, the former "thirtysomething" star, has been with this show from the beginning, as a director and producer.

He directs this two-hour episode (sorry, no "Desperate Housewives" tonight), but also guests as the father of Rebecca (Emily Van Camp). She contacts him about something that could destroy the family business.

Meanwhile, the family has more things going on, including a birth and a life-or-death crisis.
