WORTH NOTING ON TV

SATURDAY Paul McCartney: Put It There (Showtime cable network, 10-11 p.m.): Rehearsing, clowning, and some very frank talk are featured in this documentary made in London while ex-Beatle McCartney and his new band were preparing for their world tour. It shows them recording their album ``Flowers in the Dirt'' and includes comments by McCartney about his late partner, John Lennon. SUNDAY Polly (NBC, 7-9 p.m.): On ``The Magical World of Disney,'' an original musical - something fairly rare for network TV, at least when done in the lush production style of this story about an ineluctably joyful 10-year-old orphan who comes to live with a rich aunt in 1955 Alabama and manages to integrate the town. Starring the ``Cosby Show'''s Keshia Knight Pulliam and Phylicia Rashad, it's based on the Eleanor Porter novel ``Pollyanna'' and a 1960 Disney movie adaptation.

WEDNESDAY American Masters (PBS, 8-9 p.m.): First of a two-part, multi-source documentary - ``Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius'' - about the silent-film comedian still remembered as the man dangling desperately from a big clock on a building. At his height, his brilliant, manic schtick made him more popular than Chaplin or Keaton.

Please check local listings for all programs, especially on PBS.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
