The Godfather, Part II AMC 8:00 pm ET

The second -- and best -- installment of Francis Ford Coppola's Oscar-winning "Godfather" trilogy, based on Mario Puzo's novel, includes flashbacks to Vito Corleone's early days in 1920s New York. Robert De Niro won an Oscar for his performance as the young don. Al Pacino returns as Michael Corleone, now running the family's criminal empire from Lake Tahoe, Nev.

Frost/Nixon MAX 10:00 pm ET

Skillfully directed by Ron Howard, Peter Morgan's adaptation of his own play recharged stage veteran Frank Langella's screen career through his masterful portrayal of former President Richard Nixon. As the ex-chief executive prepares to be interviewed by David Frost (Michael Sheen, also excellent) about the Watergate scandal, both sides jockey to be in the best light during the telecasts. Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt and Toby Jones offer top-notch support.

The Wanda Sykes Show FOX 11:00 pm ET

The late-night talk show arena wasn't especially kind to Joan Rivers, but it's been good to Chelsea Handler, and now Wanda Sykes -- fresh off her funny HBO special and her recurring role in "The New Adventures of Old Christine" -- weighs into the fray with her own blend of comedy and topical commentary, which is set to include panels to discuss current events a la Bill Maher's HBO chatfest.

NASCAR Racing ESPN2 12:45 pm ET

Kyle Busch can all but seal his first Nationwide Series championship down in Fort Worth with a win in today's O'Reilly Challenge. He won here a year ago on the 1.5-mile oval at Texas Motor Speedway, holding off a hard-charging Carl Edwards by three car lengths in the closing laps. But despite a series-leading 10 wins in '08, Busch would wind up finishing sixth in the standings, 671 points behind champ Clint Bowyer.

Horse Racing ABC 1:30 pm ET

If the Triple Crown is the World Series of Thoroughbred racing, today's Breeders' Cup World Championship from Santa Anita Park in Southern California is undoubtedly the sport's Super Bowl. At stake are championships in, among others, the sprint, turf, ladies, mile, juvenile and classic categories, the last expected to be contested by Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird and British horse Rip Van Winkle.

College Football NBC 2:30 pm ET

Years of famine have given way to a modest feast of sorts for No. 25 Notre Dame, who lead the Independent standings ahead of Navy, their opponents today in South Bend, Ind. The Fighting Irish are led by junior Jimmy Clausen, a Heisman candidate and, at this writing, the nation's top passer, who will be looking downfield for his favorite target, junior wideout Golden Tate. The unranked Midshipmen will be relying on the arm and legs of junior QB Ricky Dobbs.

The Prince & Me ABCF 7:30 pm ET

The grammatically tone-deaf title is actually one of the lesser problems with this half-baked gender-switched reworking of the "Roman Holiday" premise, wherein a Danish prince (Luke Mably) charms a pre-med student (Julia Stiles) who thinks he's a "common" exchange student. It could have been worse without the two leads, but that's hardly royal praise.

Mercy NBC 8:00 pm ET

Having just announced to her family that she is trying to have a baby, Veronica (Taylor Schilling) tries to save a pregnant woman in the aftermath of a car wreck. Dr. Harris (James LeGros) calls for a hearing to determine Veronica's future at Mercy Hospital. Sonia (Jaime Lee Kirchner) helps a sleepwalking patient and tries to take her relationship with Valentino (Charlie Semine) to another level in the new episode "You Lost Me With the Cinderblock."

Take the Money and Run TCM 8:00 pm ET

Remember when Woody Allen movies were pure slapsticky silliness? Miss those days? Then don't miss this chance to see the first film that Allen not only wrote and directed but starred in, playing a hapless criminal who can't seem to buy a break ... or steal one. It's also an early example of the "mockumentary" style of storytelling that came into its own with "This Is Spinal Tap." Janet Margolin ("Ghostbusters II") is Allen's leading lady.

Robin Hood BBCAM 9:00 pm ET

Robin (Jonas Armstrong) asks why Isabella (Lara Pulver) has made a pact with Prince John to become the new Sheriff of Nottingham. Defiant Isabella insists she works for herself. Not convinced, Robin offers her a deal to work with him for the rightful king of England, Richard the Lionheart, or discover what it is to be enemies. At a court hearing, Sheriff Isabella shows clemency to a young wench (Holliday Grainger) who has stood up to the men in her life.

Superhero Movie SHO 9:00 pm ET

Love stories, horror films and gladiator epics have all had their sendups, so the likes of "Spider-Man" and "Batman" get theirs in this weak entry in the "cobble together random movie references and call it satire" genre. Drake Bell plays a young man bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, turning him into a superpowered hero known as -- of all things -- the Dragonfly. He pines for lovely Jill (Sara Paxton, "Aquamarine") while using his new abilitiesto combat the sinister Hourglass (Christopher McDonald).
