MUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:

No. 84 – Babe (ENC) (TUE)
This is the first time in 22 weeks that I may be doubting my pick. Not really as a Top 100 film but its placement. Do I overvalue a movie that I haven't rewatched in probably five to six years? I just can't knock down a film that had me smiling from its opening moments, "This is a tale about an unprejudiced heart, and how it changed our valley forever," right on until "That'll do, Pig". The fact that director Chris Noonan essentially vanished off the face of the Earth for 10 years after this film is another aspect that makes it intriguing. I'm sticking with this ranking, it suits it.

Ratings around this movie . . .

81 - Goodfellas
83 - Beauty & The Beast (1946)
89 - Diabolique
92 - Heat
96 - The Conversation

SUNDAY
Brothers & Sisters (ABC) I don't watch this show, but a lot of people at work do. They're pulling out the Guest Star card for this episode with Lyle Lovett, Chevy Chase and Steven Weber. And when did Rob Lowe start looking like Daughtry?

The Simpsons (FOX) The Writer's Strike is starting to take its toll on our usual Sunday lineups - so this Sideshow Bob episode will have to get you through the night. John Mahoney joins the Frasier reunion this time around.

MONDAY
Notes From The Underbelly (ABC) This sitcoms return reminds me that it always looks interesting in previews and I like Peter Cambor, but there's something generic here that makes me not want to spend 30 minutes on a Monday night with a pregnancy comedy.

Heroes (NBC) I'm hanging in there. But let me tell you, NBC, it's by a thread and mainly because of the good moments from last season. Peter's story is getting more interesting. But for the most part, I'm looking forward to what you've got for me in the second half of the season.
