Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"Everybody Loves Raymond," 8 p.m., CBS. At issue is a suitcase at the base of the stairs: Ray and Debra are each too stubborn to move it.

"Everwood," 8 p.m., WB. This show has some beautifully crafted scenes. A teen's father wants her to get an abortion, quickly and quietly. That entangles Dr. Brown (Treat Williams) and Dr. Abbott (Tom Amandes)

Of Note

"Fear Factor," 7 p.m., NBC. Twelve people compete for a new car and a spot in the finals. Among the classy moments — women swimming among dead rodents, retrieving feeder mice with their teeth.

"Boston Public," 7 p.m., Fox. Guber (Anthony Heald) takes a new approach to teaching Shakespeare.

"The Practice," 8 p.m., ABC. This episode ends the season, and maybe the existence, of this once-brilliant series. Billy Campbell ("Once and Again") plays a husband accused of murder. Meanwhile, Bobby (Dylan McDermott) finds his life crumbling.

"Ken Burns American Stories," 9 p.m., PBS. This rerun is from Burns' "Baseball" miniseries; it's set in the 1930s when the Negro League thrived but others struggle.

"Crossing Jordan," 9 p.m., NBC. The season ends with more shell shocks, centering on the long-ago murder of Jordan's mother. In the trunk of an old Ford, Jordan has found the 23-year-old skeleton of a Boston detective.
