TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Lincoln," 6, 10 p.m., History Channel. If you missed this unusual documentary Monday, here's another chance. What makes it different is its leaning toward psycho-biography, looking at the mind and emotions of Abraham Lincoln. He was a man who fought off deep depression, became president, then found the weight of the Civil War to be crushing.

OF NOTE

"Enemy of the State" (1998), 7 p.m., ABC. Will Smith stars as a lawyer whose world falls apart when he crosses a National Security Agency official. Since this is directed by Tony Scott ("Top Gun"), some high-octane chases follow and we get an appearance by Lisa Bonet.

"Cold Case," 7 p.m., CBS. Back in 1988, a boy was found drowned a month after being kidnapped. Now the case is re-opened.

"Crossing Jordan," 7 p.m., NBC. Jordan and a reporter probe a religious cult. This rerun also introduces Leslie Bibb ("Popular") as the police psychiatrist. Woody is sent to her.

"Numb3rs," 8 p.m., CBS. A hit man escaped when a prison bus crashed. Now officials scramble to reach a key man in the witness protection program.

"Medium," 8 p.m., NBC. Trying to help find a missing boy, Allison is exhausted and sleepwalking.

"Hustle," 8 p.m., American Movie Classics. Here's the second episode of this stylishly filmed series about scam artists. Tonight, Danny concocts a forgery to fool a dishonest art gallery owner.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," 9 p.m., NBC. A pregnant teen has been attacked, shortly after running away from home.

"Saturday Night Live," 10:30 p.m., NBC. Peter Sarsgaard hosts. The Strokes are the musical guests.
