Costello Song on PBS
"History Detectives" (8 p.m., WTTW-Channel 11) PBS' desperate search for the next "Antiques Roadshow" has a bunch of experts trying to ferret out local legends. "Roadshow," at its best, has the feel of a game show, with people finding out they have something valuable or something worthless. This *1/2 yawn has no such payoff for the home viewer, unless you care whether, say, President Grant once visited a firehouse in New Jersey. The use of music by Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen and U2 fails to quicken the pulse. And the tips for folks looking to corroborate their own historical mementos are simplistic at best and patronizing at worst.
