Movie: Dirty Harry: 8-10:15 p.m., AMC +1976566

“You’ve gotta ask yourself a question: ’Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?” Clint Eastwood first played the maverick San Francis cop in this 1971 melodrama about his search for a psychotic killer (Andy Robinson). Though the four sequels (to date) have diluted the character’s impact a bit, he’s in prime form in this original edition, directed by Don Siegel. Reni Santoni, Harry Guardino and John Vernon also appear.

Movie: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: 8-10 p.m., TCM +1934498

Arguably the ultimate story of split personality, the Robert Louis Stevenson classic gets another screen workout in this 1941 version starring Spencer Tracy in the title role — er, roles.

Aubrey Smith.

One of the girl’s sisters, who launched a Web site asking for help finding her, is relieved to see her long-lost sibling, but her other sister seems annoyed with her return. When the victim’s answers don’t add up, suspicion turns inward.

Movie: Maneater: 9-11 p.m., LIFETIME +294634

She’s probably best known for playing a smart yet neurotic doctor on “Scrubs,” but Sarah Chalke tackles a change-of-pace role in this new two-part, four-hour adaptation of Gigi Levangie Grazer’s (“The Starter Wife”) novel, which casts the actress as shallow Hollywood socialite Clarissa Alpert, who sets her cap for Aaron Mason (Greg Pitts), one of the most in-demand movie producers in town. Gregory Harrison also stars.

Law & Order 10-11 p.m., WPTV-Channel 5 +41924, WTVJ-Channel 6 +49566

A slain police officer, a dead body and a guy who thinks the president is his daddy. Something tells us this isn’t an open-and-shut case. Lupo and Bernard (Jeremy Sisto, Anthony Anderson) investigate a troubled cop who took hostages at gunpoint and was shot dead by fellow officers. In his apartment, they find valuable documents and another body, which leads them to a guy who’s trying to prove he’s a president’s illegitimate son in “Illegitimate.”

Movie: Escape From Alcatraz: 10:15-12:45 p.m., AMC +9769721

Shot on Alcatraz Island, this film is based on the true story of the only escape from the maximum-security prison built on an island surrounded by shark-infested waters.
