Tonight’s lineup features the Bible, Big Boi and Bogey and Bacall.

The Martha Stewart Show: One of Stewart’s favorite rappers, Snoop Dogg — that’s what it says — comes by to plug the new season of Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood and "prepare a delicious dish that just may become a new family favorite this Thanksgiving." Noon, KXAS/Channel 5

The Biggest Loser: Fort Worth’s Michelle Aguilar barely escaped elimination last week, but she and mom Renee Wilson are still in it — meaning they get to endure the horror of ’80s Week, with ’80s-style workouts. There will be leg warmers! 7 p.m., KXAS/Channel 5

NOVA:The Bible’s Buried Secrets is a documentary that follows archaeologists who dig into such mysteries as where the ancient Israelites originated. 7 p.m., KERA/Channel 13

To Have and Have Not: Lauren Bacall makes whistling sound sizzling in this 1944 classic, her first pairing with Humphrey Bogart. This kicks off the Leading Couples festival that tonight also features Adam’s Rib (Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy), Top Hat (Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers) and A Night at the Opera (Groucho Marx and Margaret Dumont). 7 p.m., TCM

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: In a story that sounds convoluted even for this show, a hip-hop artist (Outkast’s Big Boi) helps the detectives investigate a murder linked to an animal-smuggling ring as part of an undercover operation that has Benson (Mariska Hargitay) posing as a prostitute and that leads to personal repercussions for Stabler (Chris Meloni). 9 p.m., KXAS/Channel 5
