Tube Notes

Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"What Not to Wear," 10 p.m., TLC. This is one of the best of the makeover shows. It has witty fashion experts (Stacy London and Clinton Kelly) and a mixture of warmth and tough love. Last week's season-opener targeted a woman who dresses brazenly. Tonight's is the opposite. Oretha Winston, 32, is a record-company executive with a short, stocky body, a cute face and a zestful personality. Friends and family say she's clueless about fashion. At church, she dresses like someone's grandmother; at work, she's into oversized rock T-shirts. Even her mom considers her a blend of Ma Kettle and Motley Crue. A fun transformation is coming.

Of Note

"At Home With the Braithwaites," premiere, 2 and 8 p.m., BBC America. This series introduces us to a family with secrets. The dad and two of the daughters have their own secret romances with others. And the mom? She won't tell anyone that she's just won $60 million in the lottery.

"The Bernie Mac Show," 7 p.m., Fox. This rerun pretends that Bernie and Chris Rock have had a long feud; now they're on Jay Leno's show together.

"While You Were Out," 9 p.m., TLC. To celebrate the start of the pro football season, this hour focuses on Washington Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington. He has bought a house for his older brother, Michael. Now, even as a tornado nears, he wants one of the rooms redesigned.

"20/20," 9 p.m., ABC. Tentatively scheduled is Barbara Walters' interview with former child star Macaulay Culkin.
