Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"Tim McGraw: Sing Me Home," 7 p.m., NBC; and "Paul McCartney: Back in the U.S.," 8 p.m., ABC. On Thanksgiving eve, viewers can settle back for a change of pace — three straight hours of concerts. First is the McGraw hour bursting with macho energy. The setting is Start, La., one of the places where McGraw grew up. McGraw has a wonderful repertoire, including several sweet songs. This setting, however, goes against that, though it's lots of fun. McCartney's concert isn't as intense, partly because it sprawls across two hours. There's lots of concert footage with McCartney in good form. He ranges from the classics — "Yesterday," "Let It Be," "Hey Jude," and more — to newer songs. There are also some personal snippets.

Of Note

"Survivor: Thailand," 7 p.m., CBS. There's no new episode this week. So this special allows us to see what's happened so far.

"The Bernie Mac Show," 7 p.m., Fox. After insisting on cooking his own, personal turkey, Bernie gets sick. He lapses into two dream sequences — one in Claymation.
