[ WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? ]

"Gilmore Girls" (7 p.m., WGN-Channel 9): Rory goes to Florida forspring break and does what every kid does ... watches JosephCampbell's "The Power of Myth." That'll keep your T-shirt dry.

"On the Cover" (7 p.m., WCPX-Channel 38): Bet you never thoughtyou'd see the guy who hosted "Temptation Island" on Pax, did you?Well, surprise, surprise, surprise. Mark Walberg -- not to beconfused with Mark Wahlberg, who's actually talented -- is host ofthis game show dealing with magazine covers.

"The Blues Brothers" (7 p.m., AMC): "How much for the little girl?How much for the women? ... Your women. I want to buy your women. Thelittle girl. Your daughters. Sell them to me. Sell me your children."(Repeated at 11:40 p.m.)

"John Denver: The Wildlife Concert" (7:30 p.m., WTTW-Channel 11):WTTW believes you will value this 1995 concert more than the secondhalf-hour of "Chicago Tonight." If the station is right, then by allmeans send it money.

"Big Brother" (8 p.m., WBBM-Channel 2): There's nothing wrong withthis show that releasing a pack of wild dogs on the premises wouldn'thelp.

"Summerland" (8 p.m., WGN-Channel 9): Bradin tries out for thehigh school surfing team? What kind of school has the kind ofinsurance that would enable it to sanction and sponsor a surfingteam? Of course, I still think it was selfish of Ava (Lori Loughlin)to drag the orphaned kids away from Kansas just so she could hang outwith her pals at the beach.

"Joe Schmo 2" (8 p.m., Spike TV): This reality parody/pranksputtered almost from the start because the cast was so lousy thatone of the two marks, Ingrid Wiese, figured the whole thing out. Itfinally comes to a conclusion tonight, and the remaining sucker, TimWalsh, presumably finds out he's been had. (The previous episodeswill be rerun between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.)

"Outback Jack" (8 p.m., TBS): How long did it take you to figureout this wasn't the movie with Jerry O'Connell, Anthony Anderson andthe kangaroo that stole all the money? Oh, well. Vadim Dale picks hisgal tonight in the series finale. (Repeated at 10 p.m.)

"The Amazing Race" (9 p.m., WBBM-Channel 2): Trying to reach anisland in the Nile, those bowling moms are in denial if they thinkthey'll go far without any money.

"In the Jury Room" (9 p.m., WLS-Channel 7): ABC News must be aregistered voter because it's going on jury duty, beginning tonightwith this rare glimpse (for the media anyway) inside jurydeliberations on various homicide cases. First up is the State ofOhio vs. Mark Ducic, who's accused of overdosing his wife and afriend and could be sentenced to death. (Continued Wednesday.)
