Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"I Love the '70s" conclusion, 3 p.m., VH1. All week, VH1 has been taking us on a harmless, mindless journey through a silly decade. It's given us lots of movie and TV clips, plus comments from witty people. Viewers heard rocker Rob Zombie's reflection on the movie "Jaws." "It interrupted my swimming habits for, say, the next 25 years." They heard comedian Greg Fitzsimmons discussing Underoos: "I used to go to bed as Batman, but I would wake up as Aquaman." Previous hours rerun tonight followed by 1978 (3 p.m.) and '79 (4 p.m.).

Of Note

"The Mayor of Casterbridge," 6 & 10 p.m. to midnight, A&E. If you missed Sunday's premiere, here's a quick rerun. It's a lush re-telling of this story with Ciaran Hinds (who starred in A&E's "Jane Eyre" and "Ivanhoe") giving a powerful performance as Michael Henchard, the drunkard-turned-mayor.

Football, 7 p.m., CBS. The Atlanta Falcons visit the Miami Falcons in this preseason game.

"The Bernie Mac Show," 7 p.m., Fox. In a rerun, Jordan tries to use magic to impress a girl. When it fails, Bernie seeks help from Penn and Teller.

"Wanda at Large," 7:30 p.m., Fox. Roger has a scheme for getting the show some attention, in this rerun. He schemes to get the feuding Wanda and Bradley (Wanda Sykes and Phil Morris) to sit next to each other at a basketball game.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," 8 p.m., NBC. In a rerun, Eric Roberts plays a tough ex-cop, bitter about ex-convicts in his neighborhood. When they're killed, he's one of the suspects.
