Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"Wild Card" debut, 6 p.m., Lifetime; repeats at 8 p.m. Zoe (Joely Fisher) is a Las Vegas card dealer whose life has been drifting. Now her sister's death, in a car crash, changes everything. She returns home to care for her nephew and two nieces. She also probes discrepancies in the accident report. All of this is a scramble for someone who has great instincts but few parenting or job skills. Even with death and deception at its core, "Wild Card" seems brighter than most Lifetime series. Fisher gives us someone scrambling through life in a style Erin Brockovich would love. We'll enjoy spending time with her.

Of Local Note

"Queen Lili'uokalani Keiki Hula Competition," 6 p.m., KITV. This second night of competition in the 28th annual event features children performing in the 'auana style of hula.

Of Note

"Tying the Knot: The Wedding of Melissa Joan Hart," 7 p.m., ABC Family. Here's a chance to catch this entire short-run reality series in one burst. It ends with the wedding of Hart ("Sabrina, the Teenage Witch") and Mark Wilkerson in Italy.

"Faith Hill: When the Lights Go Down," 7 p.m., NBC. In a change of plans the network is dropping its "Just Shoot Me" episodes and replacing them with a rerun of Hill, a country star whose warm voice provides crossover appeal.

"Hack," 8 p.m., CBS. In this rerun, a parolee tells Mike that an innocent man has been charged with murder.

"The District," 9 p.m., CBS. This rerun has Mannion trying to change child-pornography laws.

"1-800-Missing" debut, 7 & 9 p.m., Lifetime. A tough FBI agent (Gloria Reuben) hesitantly links with a young woman (Caterina Scorsone) who has ESP. The result is a dark drama that's solidly acted and fairly interesting.

"Saturday Night Live," 10:30 p.m., NBC. Seann William Scott hosts this rerun, with Sum 41 as musical guest.
