Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

Tonight's Must-See

"Tarzan" (1999), 7 p.m., ABC. This "Wonderful World of Disney" slot continues to be an exception to TV's Saturday blahs. Now we can catch a much-praised cartoon. Tony Goldwyn is the voice of Tarzan and Minnie Driver doesthe voice of Jane. Phil Collinswrote the songs, including the Oscar-winning "You'll Be in My Heart."

"My Sexiest Mistake," 6, 7:30 p.m., Oxygen. Oxygen offers this "mini-movie," filling a 90-minute slot instead of two hours. The story centers on a romance novelist with writer's block. Her editor decides to loosen her up by buying her a male prostitute. Then the mix-ups begin. All are silly and most depend on extreme coincidences. Still, Sabrina Lloyd is so good in the lead that she makes it worth 90 minutes of our lives.

Of Note

Basketball, all day, CBS. The NCAA tournament has been trimmed to 32, and over the next two days that will be halved again. This varies in each market. In general, CBS hopes to have games from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today.

"Average Joe: Adam Returns," 8 p.m., NBC. In a change of plans, NBC is inserting a rerun of Monday's season opener with Adam Mesh meeting 20 women.

"Jaws" (1975), 6, 9 p.m., Bravo. Steven Spielberg's shark classic gets a double run.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," 9 p.m., NBC. When young Arab-American women are raped and burned, the defendants hire a lawyer (Barry Bostwick) who tries an off-center defense.
