Tube Notes

"Cher: The Farewell Tour," 5 p.m., Bravo. This special, which has already aired twice on NBC, mixes flashy concert footage and some funny asides.

"8 Simple Rules," 7 p.m., ABC. Bridget insists she wants to go to beauty school instead of college.

"Last Comic Standing," 8 p.m., NBC. Last week, Rob Cantrell, the pleasant comedian from Washington, had the misfortune of taking on Ralphie May, the plus-sized Texan who's capable of drawing big laughs. May won big and Cantrell was ousted, trimming the field to seven.

"P.O.V.: Of Civil Wrongs and Rights: The Fred Korematsu Story," 10 p.m., PBS. This rerun offers the compelling story of one man who refused to go along with the order that Japanese-Americans be confined to camps during World War II.

Korematsu resisted, then challenged the order in court. He lost the eventual landmark 1944 Supreme Court case, but not his resolve to right the U.S. government's wrongs. This 2001 documentary tells the story of the 40-year legal fight to vindicate Korematsu.
