It?s shaping up to be a good month for our 16th president: Abe Lincoln turns 204 today, and on Feb. 24, Steven Spielberg?s biopic seems poised to take home a handful of Oscars. Let?s celebrate the old rail-splitter with this look at five TV Lincolns.

v Lincoln Case (Glen Corbett on ?Route 66,? 1963-64): A Vietnam War vet (TV?s first) who became the substitute traveling companion of Tod Stiles (Martin Milner) after his original partner (George Maharis) left the series.

v Lincoln ?Linc? Hayes (Clarence Williams III on ?The Mod Squad,? 1968-72): One of the trio of youthful lawbreakers (he had been arrested in the Watts race riots) who became undercover LAPD officers.

v Matt Lincoln (Vincent Edwards on ?Matt Lincoln,? 1970-71): A hip psychiatrist who founded a telephone hotline service for troubled teens.

v Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell on ?Prison Break,? 2005-09): Accused murderer who will be executed unless his brother?s elaborate plan to spring him from jail succeeds.

v Sean and Beverly Lincoln (Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig on ?Episodes,? 2011-): British husband-and-wife TV-writing team who move to Hollywood to write a series for Matt LeBlanc.

?State of the Union Address? (8 p.m., all major broadcast and many cable networks): The U.S. Constitution mandates the yearly event ? even if you?d rather be watching ?NCIS: Los Angeles.?

?The Face? (9 p.m., Bravo): ?The Face? is a new supermodel search that has 12 attractive wannabes moving into a posh loft and trying to prove that they?re ready for their close-ups. Naomi Campbell and fellow models Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha oversee the competition.
