Tube Notes

By Mike Hughes
Gannett News Service

TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Vietnam Nurses with Dana Delany," 4 p.m., WE. Few TV documentaries will match the impact, emotion and human connection of this one. Its form is simple: We meet eight women who were nurses during the Vietnam War. Some crumbled afterward; some seemed to thrive.

"Stargate SG-1," 6 and 8 p.m., Sci Fi Channel. For its 200th episode, this show has the characters pitching ideas for a "Stargate" movie. That lets it mock itself and sci-fi in general.

OF NOTE

"Spider-Man" (2002), 7 p.m., Fox. Action scenes are terrific and there are some dandy human moments for Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.

"Las Vegas," 8 p.m., NBC. Searching for a robber, Danny and Mike pause to pose for a calendar.

"Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. A successful young banker is killed. One suspect is his boss; she may have had an affair with him.

"Psych," 10 p.m., USA Network. Shawn pretends to be a ghostbuster.
