Tube Notes: 'Medium,' 'Jockeys'

TONIGHT'S MUST SEES

“MEDIUM,” 8 P.M., CBS

“Medium,” which switched networks as soon as NBC dropped it, settled into Tuesdays for a while, but now is using a two-parter to jump to its new night.
On Tuesday, a stalker entered Allison's dreams and her life. Tonight, he sabotages those dreams, making her information useless.

“JOCKEYS” SEASON-OPENER, 7 P.M., ANIMAL PLANET

With more depth than most reality shows, “Jockeys” focuses on big-money, big-risk20horse racing.
One story tonight views Corey Nakatani, racing at the same track (Santa Anita) where his grandparents were confined to a World War II interment camp. Sidelined by an injury for two months, he's back – and facing a fresh probe of his aggressive style.
Another views Chantal Sutherland, a Canadian star trying a new country. She helps her friend, trainer Kristin Mulhall, take a risk: They run a potential champion in a race in which any horse can be claimed for $50,000.
