Tonight's Must-See

The World Series, 1:30 p.m., Fox. This has been a comeback year for post-season baseball. So far it's had fun teams, passionate games and high TV ratings. Now Fox hopes its luck can last for seven more games as the World Series begins on its 100th anniversary.

"Ground Control" (1998), 8 p.m., Pax. Kiefer Sutherland plays an air traffic controller who drops out after a tragedy. Now there's an emergency and a former colleague needs his help. Sutherland is terrific here and gets excellent work in support. There's Robert Sean Leonard as the too-cocky young guy, Kristy Swanson as the hesitant newcomer, Kelly McGillis and Bruce McGill as the experienced hands and Henry Winkler as the guy trying to keep a balky electrical system working. They deliver the raw emotions of people working in crisis.
