Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"Will & Grace," 7:45 and 8:25 p.m., NBC. Here are reruns of two expanded episodes and both of them are funny. In the first, Gene Wilder shows up as Will's boss. Meanwhile, Karen's friends learn that she is no longer wealthy. In the second, there's a lot of silliness about Jack's obsession with actor Kevin Bacon. He's stalking the guy — until Bacon hires him for protection against his stalker.

Of Note

"Friends," 7 p.m., NBC. Here's a rerun of the terrific episode that was the 200th for "Friends" overall. Freddie Prinze Jr. guest stars as Emma's new nanny, a sweet and sensitive guy. Meanwhile, Chandler gets jealous when Monica talks about a colleague with a good sense of humor. And Phoebe's life gets complicated when both her current and past boyfriends (played by Paul Rudd and Hank Azaria) are available.

"Bad Boys" (1995), 7 p.m., WB. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence race through lots of action and comedy, as cops caught up in a series of shoot-em-ups and crash-em-ups. It might be worth catching because the sequel, "Bad Boys II," opens in theaters Friday (July 18).

"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," 8 p.m., CBS. In this rerun, Catherine probes robot competitions.

"Without a Trace," 9 p.m., CBS. This rerun follows the disappearance of a wealthy teacher.

"Dateline," 9 p.m., NBC. Lest there be any remaining belief that "Dateline" is a newsmagazine, it plans to offer an hour tentatively called, "J Lo & Ben: America's Couple." Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleckare interviewed ahead of their new film "Gigli."
