Cold case
The discovery of a 200-year-old corpse leads the casts of "Bones" and "Sleepy Hollow" into the fairy-tale world of Crossover Land.

"Nowitzki: The Perfect Shot" chronicles the rise of Dallas Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki with comments from Mark Cuban, Kobe Bryant and that underappreciated point guard, Helmut Schmidt. In addition to being a documentary, "Shot" could also serve as an audition tape for a new "Space Jam" movie. 10 p.m. AXS TV
