Wednesday, April 28 "MY NAME IS BARBRA" (CBS, 9-10 p.m.)* The first of Streisand's long-awaited specials - and as close to compulsory viewing as TV showbiz ever gets.

For those who lamented its exclusion from Funny Girl, Barbra belts out My Man. The show has everything -namely, Barbra Streisand...
