Best Bets on TV Tonight

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (8 p.m., ABC): Starting tonight, it's "sweeps" time again, which means schedules can be quirky. This 2003 adventure movie starring Johnny Depp stands in for the regular shows on a night when ABC faces tough competition from CBS.
"Everwood" (9 p.m. WB): It's easy to forget about this show, now that it's stuck in the middle of TV's Thursday-night traffic jam. But it continues to be a top-notch family drama. In this episode, Nina urges Andy and Jake to go to counseling in the hopes of mending the rift between the two friends.
"The Perfect Score" (9:30 p.m., Showtime): Six students with contrasting personalities conspire to steal answers to the SAT, but come to understand that other things may be more important. Erika Christensen and Chris Evans star in this 2004 movie.
"How Safe Are We?" (10 p.m., PBS): The show contrasts the state of well-being for the developed world -- which during the past 100 years has seen life expectancy more than double -- with the emergence of new diseases, including AIDS, perhaps the most devastating epidemic in history. Meanwhile, scientists and health officials around the world prepare for a possible pandemic from bird flu. It's part of "Rx for Survival -- A Global Health Challenge" is a six-hour PBS documentary series.
