Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"America's Got Talent," 8 p.m., NBC. Chances are, you missed this debut episode Wednesday — an overcrowded night that included "Big Brother" and "So You Think You Can Dance." Settle back now and watch the rerun. Simon Cowell produced this show, which offers jugglers, acrobats, singers, dancers and more, all chasing the same $1 million prize. Regis Philbin hosts. Singer Brandy, who has talent, is one judge; David Hasselhoff, who is tall, is another. Piers Morgan is the third judge, possibly fulfilling the requirement for including a mean Englishman.

OF NOTE

"24," 7 and 8 p.m., Fox. The season continues to rerun in quick bursts. In the first hour, Jack is still on the run after being framed. In the second, we know that the terrorists have 20 canisters of nerve gas. Lynn McGill (Sean Astin), a bureaucrat, arrives to oversee things.

"Ghost Whisperer," 7 p.m., CBS. Sonia Braga plays a dead woman who refuses to pass on until her son — a 19-year-old boxer — can patch things up with his dad.

"Touch the Top of the World," 7 and 11 p.m., A&E. Here's another chance to see the new movie about the blind man who climbed Mount Everest. Peter Facinelli stars.

"Close to Home," 8 p.m., CBS. This is exceptionally low: After using a woman to help him escape, a jewel thief has been holding her hostage. After he's caught, the next job is to convince her to testify.

"Numb3rs," 9 p.m., CBS. A Russian student is killed shortly after winning big in blackjack.
