WORTH NOTING ON TV

April 2, 1996

WEDNESDAY

My Guys (CBS, 8:30-9 p.m.): In this new comedy, a widower and his two school-age sons stick together on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The well-cast ensemble of Michael Rispoli, Mike Damus, and Francis Capra is appealing. The younger, witty son (played by Capra) steals the show.

This premiere episode sets the scene as the older son, Michael (Damus), fumbles for words when a beautiful girl moves in next door; the father, meanwhile, tests the dating waters for the first time in 17 years. Parts of one romance scene may be inappropriate for younger viewers.

Larry King Live (CNN, 9-10 p.m.): Hillary Rodham Clinton has her first interview since returning from Bosnia. As usual on this evening talk show, viewers will be able to call in questions.

FRIDAY

Due South (CBS, 8-9 p.m.): Basketball star Isiah Thomas guest stars as himself in this episode of the buddy-cop show. He shares some insights with a teenage shooting suspect from a tough neighborhood, where conventional wisdom says there are only two ways to a better life: by playing basketball or selling drugs.

Paving the Way (PBS, 9-10 p.m.): Each decade of the 20th century has witnessed "firsts" for women - accomplishments that didn't happen overnight, but were the result of years of hard work and perseverance. This program, narrated by actress Barbara Feldon, profiles four women who planted the seeds for achievement in the 1950s: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to be appointed to America's highest court; retired Maj. Gen. Jeanne Holm, the first woman to achieve the rank of major general in the US Air Force; Rep. Patsy Mink (D) of Hawaii, the first Asian-American woman elected to the US Congress; and the Rev. Addie Wyatt, the first African-American woman elected president of the United Packinghouse Food and Allied Workers Union.
