Tuning In

Hollywood bound

Listen up: If you’re between 7 and 17 years old, here’s your chance to attend Fox TV’s “American Idol” finals.

Kabillion’s “American Idol Ticket Giveaway” will award an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles to one of their registered users, or “Kabillionaires” — along with a parent — to attend the finale and results show of this season’s “Idol” slated for May 21-22 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

The Web site, whose live and animated content is geared toward youngsters, also will award four second prizes, consisting of two tickets each to the previous week’s show featuring the final three contestants.

To enter the contest, youngsters must be registered users of Kabillion and create their own avatar (animated designs) at www.Kabillion.com/idol. The entire Kabillion community will vote for their favorite avatars until April 29. Winners will be chosen at random on April 30.

Even educated fleas

“What Females Want and Males Will Do,” PBS’ two-part miniseries about sexual selection, continues its examination (Sunday evening at 8) not only of the birds and the bees but how other species play the mating game throughout the animal kingdom.

Apparently, there’s nothing a male won’t do for the right to mate with a female — dance, sing, make music, fight, overdress, change body colors, develop astonishing anatomies, illuminate and even agree to be eaten alive.

Among the weekend’s other highlights:

Tonight

• Canterbury’s Law (9 p.m., Fox): Less than stellar ratings may, indeed, kill this new legal drama starring Julianna Margulies (formerly of “ER”) as the title character. But, hopefully, not before you’ve checked it out for yourself. On tonight’s edition, the seriousness of the indictment, as well as her probable disbarment and imprisonment, finally hits Elizabeth (Miss Margulies), who tries to cut a deal and get her affairs in order. Harris Yulin guest stars as Elizabeth”s father, Chris Canterbury.

Sunday

• John Adams (9 p.m., HBO): Abandoned by Thomas Jefferson (Stephen Dillane) for retaining George Washington’s Cabinet, President John Adams (Paul Giamatti) holds firm on keeping the nation out of war, despite French aggression and pro-war sentiment among his advisers. His wife, Abigail (Laura Linney), urges him to sign the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts, seeing them as a way to preserve domestic security. Meanwhile, Adams faces a crisis at home when he disowns his alcoholic son Charles (Kevin Trainor). When Charles later dies, Abigail pleads with her husband to make peace with their son’s memory, but Adams refuses, and a disappointed Abigail returns to Braintree.
