Going out

        Home and Garden show: The Fifth Third Bank Cincinnati Home and Garden show is up and running with home furnishings, landscaping ideas, swimming pools and more at the Albert B. Sabin Convention Center, downtown. Open 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. today with additional hours Tuesday-next Sunday. $8.50, $2.50 under age 14. 281-0022.

        Mardi Gras party: Accordion-powered Creole dance music is the main attraction as Zydeco music king Buckwheat Zydeco brings his party band to Jefferson Hall tonight. Show starts 9 p.m., 1151 Main St., Over-the-Rhine. $15 includes party favors. 723-9008.

        Classical: Xavier University Piano and Guitar series hosts the talents of classical pianist Angela Hewitt, internationally renowned for her performances of Bach. Today's program, including Bach, Beethoven, Ravel and Liszt, will begin 2:30 p.m. in the Cincinnati Art Museum theater, Eden Park. $16-$18. 745-3161.

Staying In

        TV picks: Tonight's “must see” is Me and My Shadows: Life With Judy Garland (9 p.m., Channels 9 and 2). Judy Garland's life had all the hallmarks of an epic story. She reached a quick peak with The Wizard of Oz, then kept crashing and making comebacks. The miniseries is done well. Judy Davis is perfect as the grown-up Ms. Garland, and Tammy Blanchard is excellent playing her as a teen-ager.

        • Here's something for the kids from the Wonderful World of Disney (8 p.m. Channels 9 and 2): Lady and the Tramp (1955), the classic doggy romance with the usual mismatch. She's well bred and proper; he's a street-smart mutt with a tough soul and a warm heart.

The Goods (What's in stores today)

        Keeping up: Even the classics have to change — eventually. Rubbermaid, in biz since 1921, has introduced “new” colors, including light platinum (a soft neutral), reflection (green), capri (blue) and dusk (purple.)
