Sahara
TNT 8:00 pm ET
Based on one of the novels by Clive Cussler about adventurer Dirk Pitt, this well-paced 2005 escapade takes the troubleshooter -- played by Matthew McConaughey -- and his smart-aleck cohort (Steve Zahn) to the title desert, where they search for a Civil War vessel allegedly laden with treasure. Their paths cross that of a doctor (Penelope Cruz) who fears a massive plague.

TV's All-Time Funniest
ABC 8:00 pm ET
Lucy or Mrs. C? Heathcliff or Homer? Kimmy Gibler or Cosmo Kramer? This new special may generate some friendly arguments around the water cooler. The Nielsen folks asked a sampling of viewers who they thought were the funniest TV dads, moms, kids, relatives, neighbors, friends, bosses and co-workers. The results are revealed here with clips and commentary from such stars as Marion Ross, Mary Tyler Moore and Brad Garrett.

Crossroads
CMT 9:00 pm ET
A Grammy-winning pop band and a multiplatinum-selling country diva share the stage in "Maroon 5 and Sara Evans." As usual in this series, they talk about music, play some together, and demonstrate that good music is not confined to any one genre. In addition to teaming up to sing each other's hits, they'll also join forces on a rendition of the Don Henley-Stevie Nicks classic "Leather and Lace."

The Good Shepherd
MAX 5:45 pm ET
One man's travels through the CIA's early years are traced in this overlong but still involving drama directed by Robert De Niro. Matt Damon has the pivotal role as a Yale graduate who secretly works for the U.S. government, becoming efficient but also highly suspicious of virtually everyone he comes into contact with. The results damage just about all his relationships, including the one with his wife (Angelina Jolie). Joe Pesci also stars.

Must Love Dogs
OXYGEN 7:00 pm ET
A personal ad draws a recently divorced teacher (Diane Lane) and a hopeless romantic (John Cusack) together -- with each telling less than the total truth in the initial stages -- in director Gary David Goldberg's ("Family Ties") gently appealing 2005 comedy. Complicating matters are the woman's father (Christopher Plummer), who's on his own hunt for new love, and another man (Dermot Mulroney) who pursues her heart. Stockard Channing also stars.

National Treasure
USA 8:00 pm ET
Dismissed by many critics, this Jerry Bruckheimer-produced adventure became one of 2004's top box-office hits. Nicolas Cage plays a member of a treasure-seeking clan whose latest quest involves the Declaration of Independence ... and a map on the back of it that could lead to a fortune. He races his sinister ex-partner (Sean Bean) to the document, helped by his father, a smart-aleck sidekick and a cryptographer (Jon Voight, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger).

The Shaggy Dog
DISN 8:00 pm ET
The big-budget big-screen remake of the 1959 family classic has made this 1994 made-for-TV update superfluous, although it does stay truer to the original than the 2006 version. It stars Ed Begley Jr. and Sharon Lawrence, with Scott Weinger ("What I Like About You"), the voice of Disney's Aladdin, as teenager Wilby, who inadvertently casts a spell on himself that causes him to turn into a sheepdog. Recommended only if you like the premise but can't stand Tim Allen or Tommy Kirk -- and come on, who could hate the kid from "Old Yeller"?

Most Outrageous Moments
NBC 8:30 pm ET
For those of you who can't get enough of the agony of defeat -- and the feet -- this episode has a couple of segments you'll enjoy. "Not Necessarily the Olympics" showcases goofs and gaffes on the ski slopes and at the ice-skating rink. "Dancing Without the Stars" is a collection of clips of people attempting to dance -- and failing miserably, of course.

Clear and Present Danger
BRAVO 9:00 pm ET
Harrison Ford reprises his role as Jack Ryan, a CIA agent who becomes entangled in political double-dealing when he is unexpectedly called in to replace the agency's chief (James Earl Jones). Fast-paced action, a sly script and Ford's admirable performance make this 1994 adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel a real audience pleaser. Willem Dafoe and Anne Archer also star.

Glass House: The Good Mother
LIFE 9:00 pm ET
Despite the similarities in title and plot, this tepid 2006 suspense tale is not, repeat, not a sequel to the 2001 theatrical thriller "The Glass House" -- which, while not exactly Oscar material, is a far superior film. Longtime "Law & Order" fans might get a kick out of seeing Angie Harmon as a Mommie Dearest to the two orphans she takes in, but everyone else should remember the first law of Lifetime movies: If it has an adjective like "good," "ideal" or "perfect" in its title, chances are it isn't.

Moonlight
CBS 9:00 pm ET
A blast from the past gives Beth (Sophia Myles) another glimpse into the secrets of Mick's (Alex O'Loughlin) history in this new episode. It comes in the form of a kidnapping; the quarry is the grandson of a man whom Mick was friends with 60 years ago. Man, dude is looking good for his age. Jason Dohring and Shannyn Sossamon also star in "What's Left Behind."
