If you subscribe to Bravo, your night of TV is all set. If not, the only program deserving of a hearty "bravo!" is tonight's freewheeling episode of "The Marshal."
* "NBA All-Star Stay in School Celebration." (noon-1 p.m., WBAL-Channel 11,, BET, NIK, TNT) -- For the fifth straight year, broadcast and cable networks are providing a simultaneous special, showcasing potential role models from sports and show business, to stress -- through music, comedy and speeches -- the need for a proper education. This year Will Smith, who came to fame as a rapper singing "Parents Just Don't Understand," encourages kids to stay in school, and basketball players such as Grant Hill and Wayman Tisdale deliver a similar message.
* "Ladybugs." (8 p.m.-10 p.m., WBAL, Channel 11) -- If NBC is so hot on positioning "seaQuest DSV" star Jonathan Brandis as the new teen heartthrob, why subject him to a network airing of this 1992 film, in which he plays a boy who dresses as a girl to join a female soccer team? NBC.
* "U.S. Figure Skating Championships." (8 p.m.-10 p.m., WMAR, Channel 2) -- This season, I figure we've seen enough skating. ABC.
* "The Marshal." (10 p.m.-11 p.m., WMAR, Channel 2) -- John Hawkes and Kari Wuhrer star as very wacky Bonnie and Clyde types, whose erratic criminal acts and paths baffle MacBride (Jeff Fahey). ABC.

* "Herbie Hancock's Brazilian Celebration." (8 p.m.-10 p.m., BRAVO) -- Why this one-hour TV special? Blame it on the bossa nova -- and yes, "The Girl From Ipanema" is one of the songs performed here. Featuring Mr. Hancock, Ron Carter and others, including bossa nova boss Antonio Carlos Jobim, the guy from "Ipanema" fame.
* "Rik Mayall Presents: Clair de Lune." (9 p.m.-10 p.m., BRAVO) -- This brief anthology series -- five self-contained one-hour programs in which British comedian-chameleon Rik Mayall portrays five wildly disparate roles -- is turning out to be one of the best offerings of the current TV season. In America, we know him largely as the imaginary friend of Phoebe Cates in "Drop Dead Fred." But so far on "Rik Mayall Presents," he's played a slimy and smarmy TV host, a man whose date with a beautiful woman goes almost fatally awry, and a homeless man who has a hot movie script literally fall in his lap. In tonight's episode, which I haven't seen, he plays a cab driver who meets a sultry femme fatale (Serena Scott Thomas).
