Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"Everybody Loves Raymond," 8 p.m., CBS. This terrific comedy is at its best when it has a reason to push the family together. That makes Christmas episodes ideal. Tonight, Ray buys his dad a bag of his favorite jazz CDs. Then he fumes when he finds them dumped in the basement.

"King of the Jungle" conclusion, 3, 5, 7 p.m., Animal Planet. "King" started with 12 people driving to an unknown location. All they knew was that one would win an Animal Planet special. Now we have the final three. Jeremy Kirby, 24, handles elephants at the Phoenix Zoo; Kelly Diedring, 23, works with birds and reptiles at Busch Gardens in Florida; and Adam Stone, 36, handles elephants and carnivores at Zoo Atlanta. Tonight, they'll return to the big-cat arena. Next week, the winner's special premieres.


Of Note

"Jingle Ball Rock," 7 p.m., Fox. Women star in this concert special with Beyoncé Knowles, Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff and host Jennifer Lopez.

"Las Vegas," 8 p.m., NBC. A magician makes his wife disappear during his act but can't get her to return. He tries to do a solo act but is promptly booed off the stage.

"CSI: Miami," 9 p.m., CBS. A woman has been thrown over the railing of a parking ramp. Officials figure she might have been dead before that happened.

"Miss Match," 9 p.m., NBC. This show, which usually airs Fridays, borrows the slot that was used by "Average Joe"; it also borrows Tareq Kabir, one of the "Joe" contestants. Tonight, he plays someone who has had a wife promised to him since she was 6; Kate tries to intervene.

"Threat Matrix," 12:36 a.m., ABC. This show has had a tough time finding an audience on Thursdays, so it tries a rerun tonight, with terrorists putting a deadly toxin on money.
