Tuning In

Costas’ ‘Record’ range

Bob Costas may get a bit verbose when he’s behind the mike during a baseball telecast, but even the toughest scout will admit the guy’s got range.

Just look at his lineup for tomorrow night’s “On the Record With Bob Costas,” his HBO talk show.

The program, now in its fourth season, welcomes “CSI’s” William Petersen, “The Passion of the Christ’s” Jim Caviezel (whose new film, “Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius,” opens tomorrow) and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

The HBO chatfest airs Friday evenings at 11, with repeat broadcasts at 10 a.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Monday.

Let’s ‘Twist’ again

“Twister,” the movie that made us believe a cow could fly, heads to NBC this weekend.

The 1996 box-office hit airs Saturday evening at 8 — for those who decide to pass up a night on the town.

The special-effects-heavy film stars Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt as scientists tracking down the most destructive weather front ever to hit Middle America. Director Jan de Bont (“Speed”) maximizes the action but spares little time for nuance.

‘Tru’ finale?

“Tru Calling,” one of many shows on the proverbial bubble regarding its future, pleads its case tonight with a two-hour season finale.

The Fox show, which stars Eliza Dushku as a woman who can save those who died untimely deaths by reliving their final days on earth, hasn’t set ratings afire.

Still, the show’s concept intrigues, and Fox hopes the late addition of former “90210” heartthrob Jason Priestley will persuade viewers to give it a try.
