Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

TODAY'S MIGHT-SEE: Kentucky Derby, 11 a.m., NBC; and "Win, Place, Show: The History of Horse Racing," 9 p.m., History Channel. The world gets terribly excited about horses running around in an oval for two minutes. At the Kentucky Derby, this incites a week of commotion.

TODAY'S MIGHT-SEE II: "My Blue Heaven" (1990), 4 p.m.; "All of Me" (1984), 6 p.m.; "The Man With Two Brains" (1983), 8 p.m., Fox Family Channel. The career of Steve Martin flashes before us tonight. In "My Blue Heaven," he's a mobster living in suburbia under the witness protection plan. "All of Me" is sometimes hilarious, as Lily Tomlin (via a spiritual mixup) shares Martin's body. "The Man With Two Brains" has great moments, as Martin falls for a disembodied brain bearing the sweet voice of Sissy Spacek.

"Motocrossed," 7:30 p.m., Disney Channel. Alana Austin is excellent as a teen who disguises herself as a boy to enter a motocross bike race.

"Walker, Texas Ranger," 7 and 8 p.m., CBS. As the show nears the end of its eighth and final season, it's lumping episodes together. Here, for the second straight week, are back-to-back new ones.

"Weird Worlds," 8 and 11 p.m., the Learning Channel. This documentary looks at secret societies, from Masons to racist groups.
