Tube Notes

Tonight's Must-See

"Monday Night Football" season opener, 7 p.m., ABC. The second season begins for Al Michaels and John Madden. "To work with somebody like John, you don't need a third voice," says Michaels, who usually has a three-man booth. The only other voice this year is from sideline reporter Lisa Guerrero. She'll make her debut at this annual Hall of Fame game from Canton, Ohio, when the Green Bay Packers face the Kansas City Chiefs. She'll do it without test runs, says producer Fred Gaudelli. "There really isn't an environment that can replicate what it's going to feel like in Canton. She'll probably have some butterflies that night. (But) Lisa's done a lot of live television; she's done a lot of sports." "I've watched 'Monday Night Football' since I was a little girl," she says. At 19, she was a Los Angeles Rams cheerleader. Now, 20 years later, she's jumping from cable's "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" to TV's biggest sports show, period.

Of Note:

"The Original Kings of Comedy" (2000), 5 p.m., Comedy Central. When Spike Lee filmed this stand-up concert, no one realized the impact it would have. The movie soared at the box office and propelled all four comics — Steve Harvey, Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer and D.L. Hughley into the stratosphere. Mac and Cedric each got their own shows and Harvey's returning to TV this fall. Hughley's making his name as a movie star.

"Yes, Dear," 7 p.m., CBS. In this rerun, Greg and Kim (Anthony Clark and Jean Louisa Kelly) aren't sure how to tell their son that his goldfish died.

"Everybody Loves Raymond," 8 p.m., CBS. Here's a third chance to see this hilarious episode. Finally ready to marry Amy, Robert goes to meet her family. He soon meets her bizarre parents and brother.

"For Love or Money 2," 8 p.m., NBC. The five remaining guys are offered money to withdraw from the competition.

"CSI: Miami," 9 p.m., CBS. This rerun focuses on the murder of a 5-year-old girl at an amusement center.
