Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

MUST-SEE (or tape): "Young Sherlock Holmes" (1985), 2:05 p.m., AMC. When Chris Columbus was signed to direct "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (due in theaters this fall) there were doubters. Will he be able to capture the right feeling of boyhood adventure and magic? Here is an earlier example that provides a mixed answer. "Young Sherlock" pooled lots of talent — Columbus as writer, Steven Spielberg as producer, Barry Levinson ("Rain Man") as director — with so-so results.

"Intimate Portrait," 7 p.m., Lifetime. Here's a new look at supermodel Naomi Campbell.

"Mysteries and Scandals," 5 p.m., cable channel E; also, "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit," 9 p.m., NBC. The first looks at the death of sex symbol Jayne Mansfield.

"Michael" (1996), 8 p.m., TNT. Nora Ephron ("Sleepless in Seattle") skillfully directed this clever film. William Hurt and Andie MacDowell investigating a report that an angel is living in someone's house. He is.

"Freakylinks," 8 p.m., FOX. In a new episode, the Web page gets some attention after someone claims he was convicted of a murder committed by a monster.
