Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"Loving You" (1957), 7:30 p.m., NBC. This is one of the best of the Elvis Presley's movies, which is sort of like being the tallest of the seven dwarfs. Also, a day after the 25th anniversary of Presley's death, comes a half-hour "Dateline" special on Elvis at 7 p.m."Loving You" is better than most Elvis movies because it sticks closer to its star's roots. He plays a shy Southerner who drives a truck and sings. Then suddenly he's propelled to the top. He sticks to rock 'n' roll ("Teddy Bear," "Mean Women Blues," etc.). The kid (just 21 then) did fine.

Football, 2 p.m. (live) and 7 p.m. (replay), CBS. The Super Bowl champ New England Patriots host the Philadelphia Eagles.
