TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"The Sound of Music" (1965), 6 p.m., ABC. With new, scripted shows scarce, the networks are giving better slots to big-screen movies. Now here's a Sunday showcase for this Oscar winner. The good news: The Rodgers-and-Hammerstein score has some gems, including "My Favorite Things" and the title song. Many are sung (beautifully) by Julie Andrews. And from the start, director Robert Wise uses gorgeous backdrops. The bad: The story, albeit based on true events, is kind of lame and contrived.

Football, midmorn, CBS and Fox; then 3:15 p.m., NBC. It's the final Sunday of the regular season, and there are still playoff spots at stake. For NBC, means using its flexible-scheduling option. It dumped the Kansas City Chiefs-New York Jets game for the Titans-Colts at 3:15.

OF NOTE

"The Simpsons," 8 p.m., Fox. In a rerun, Marge is taken hostage by her friend the bank robber.

"The Amazing Race," 7 p.m., CBS. While other series sink into reruns this one — an annual Emmy-winner — booms ahead. It's hard to believe that CBS didn't even have it on its fall schedule.

"Cold Case," 8 p.m., CBS. This rerun has Lilly probing the murder of a country-music singer. Logically, Tim McGraw's songs fill the soundtrack.

"Masterpiece Theatre: Jane Eyre," 8 p.m., PBS, concludes next Sunday. In two weeks, "Masterpiece" will launch its big and (mostly) splendid project of putting all six Jane Austen movies back-to-back. To get us in the mood for plush period pieces, it reruns this lush version of Charlotte Bronte's novel. Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens are made to seem like a very plain Jane and a dashing Rochester. Opposites clash and meet in an involving story.

"June Jones," 9 p.m., KGMB. The coach's show celebrates the Warriors' 12-0 year, analyzing every game, come-from-behind victory, and heroic effort by Colt Brennan and the rest of the Warriors.
