Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"Full Court Miracle," 8 p.m., Disney Channel. In real life, Lamont Carr was a University of Virginia basketball star, one of the first blacks to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Later, he was down on his luck before becoming coach of a then-winless team at a Jewish academy. Now that story is fictionalized in a warm little movie that's reasonably well-made. Talented Canadian actors combine with Richard T. Jones ("Judging Amy") and Alex D. Linz ("Home Alone 3").

"The Kennedy Tapes Revealed," 6 p.m., Bravo. Three months after his brother was killed Robert Kennedy began recording his memories. Those comments have already been used by historians. Now comes the chance to hear the tapes directly, along with views of the interviewers and others. We hear details of Bobby Kennedy's distrust of Lyndon Johnson. We also hear accounts of civil rights, Cuban and other showdowns during his brother's presidency.

Of Note

"The Wizard of Oz" (1939), 7 p.m., TBS. Here's another chance to see this family classic, starring Judy Garland.

"Joan of Arcadia," 7 p.m., CBS. To the viewer there are obvious connections between this Joan and the classic Joan of Arc. Now the modern Joan is assigned by God to learn more about the original.

"Miss Match," 8 p.m., NBC. Tonight, Kate does matchmaking for a guy (Matt Carmody) who talks warmly of his late wife; she looks for a mate for a lesbian (Cara Buono). In her separate world as a divorce lawyer she starts working with a confident beauty (Dina Meyer, formerly of "Birds of Prey").

"Third Watch," 9 p.m., NBC. Cruz (Tia Texada) continues her quest to nail the drug dealer who killed her sister. The latest information leads to a fierce gun fight.
