Tonight's Must-See

"Memories of Oz," 1:30 p.m.; "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), 2 p.m.; "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: 50 Years of Magic," 3:45 p.m.; Turner Classic Movies. Now that "Over the Rainbow" has been named the best movie song ever, maybe we should relive the whole "Oz" experience. The tribute starts with a short TCM documentary from 2001. After the movie, there's a one-hour documentary that Angela Lansbury hosted on CBS in 1990 from Jack Haley Jr., who knows the subject — his dad co-starred in "Oz." Young Haley visited the set and was once married to Liza Minnelli, whose mom (Judy Garland) starred in the film. "Oz's" latest claim to fame came when the American Film Institute had experts pick the best movie songs. "Over the Rainbow" made No. 1 and its "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," No. 82.
