More This, A Little Bit Of That

Here are a few notes to tide you over for the weekend.

--Maconite Hugh Neisler will compete on "Deal or No Deal" beginning Sunday night at 9 p.m. and will continue Monday at 8 p.m. For a complete story about Hugh, you can check out my story in The Telegraph or read it at macon.com beginning Saturday.

--For years, we have known "The Simpsons" to be set in Springfield, but we don't know which Springfield it is. With the movie coming out this summer, we may find out.

Fox is inviting city officials from Springfields all over the U.S. to compete for the right to screen the movie this July. Some 16 Springfields are competing for the honor across the country, including Oregon's, which is the home state of "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening.

--NBC announced it will run an "Office" marathon on March 29, hosted by Paul Lieberstein (one of the shows writer/actors, he plays Toby, the human resources guy). Five episodes will run to accompany new sitcom "Andy Barker, PI." By the way, you can catch all six episodes of "Andy Barker," the new series starring comic Andy Richter, online at nbc.com, assuming you can find it and get it to work on what is TV's most inefficient Web site.

FRIDAY'S BEST BETS: Tonight's your last chance to catch original CBS shows like "Close To Home" or "Numb3rs" for the next couple of weeks, since they will be pre-empted by the NCAA basketball tournament.

A new comedy by Jennifer Saunders ("AbFab") called "Clatterford" (BBC America, 9 p.m.) airs tonight, starring regular Saunders co-horts Joanna Lumley and Dawn French, among others.

WEEKEND'S BEST BETS: The state high school basketball championships will be running all day on Georgia Public Television, so check the listings to see if your team is playing.

I urge you once again to check out "Robin Hood" (BBC America, Sat., 9 p.m.), a highly entertaining remake of the familiar tale.

Sunday has a lot of new stuff, including a new night of comedy on Fox beginning with "The Simpsons" at 8 p.m. On CBS, series star Anthony LaPaglia wrote this week's new episode of "Without A Trace" (CBS, 10 p.m.), which follows new installments of "The Amazing Race" and "Cold Case."
