Tube Notes

Tonight's Must-See

"The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited," 8 p.m., and "The Carol Burnett Show: Let's Bump Up the Lights," 9 p.m.; both CBS. The Dick Van Dyke and Carol Burnett shows were so good that we'll settle for shadows of them. Here are reruns of two OK hours that premiered last week. Van Dyke's special is a light and amiable jaunt. Burnett's special focuses on the chats with the audience to start each show. We get some fun moments from Burnett, Tim Conway (especially), Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner.

Of Note

"Gone in Sixty Seconds" (2000, TBS) 6 p.m. and "The Fast and the Furious" (2001, ABC) 8 p.m. Both movies have cars going fast and people getting furious. Isn't it nice to know we have a choice?

"The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour," 7 p.m., ABC. Is it possible to revive the variety-show fun of Carol Burnett's era? This special gave it a try with the married duo of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey hosting; here's a quick rerun.

"Jurassic Park" (1993), 7 p.m., NBC. The rampaging beasts, are quite a treat. This may be an attempt to get us ready for "Jurassic Park IV," due next year.

"The Emperor's New Groove" (2000), 8 p.m., Disney Channel. Here's another chance to catch this up-tempo Disney musical cartoon with an Inca emperor (David Spade) turned into a llama.

"The Cradle Will Fall," 8 p.m., Pax TV. A beautiful redhead (Angie Everhart) wakes up in a hospital with visions of something she may or may not have seen. That starts a Mary Higgins Clark mystery.

"Saturday Night Live," 10:30 p.m., NBC. Who would have guessed that Christopher Walken would be associated with humor? This is a compilation — "The Best of Christopher Walken," who's starring in the upcoming "The Stepford Wives."
