Staying in
• TV Picks: By Broadway standards, Bye Bye Birdie is so-so. This production (8 p.m. Channel 9), originally broadcast in 1995 and not to be confused with the movie that was well-received in 1963, failed in the ratings. But ABC did assemble a terrific cast, including Jason Alexander and Vanessa L. Williams. Think of it as light fun on the eve of the Fourth of July.
• Web site of the day: Everything a horse enthusiast needs — from customized bridles and blankets to video training tips from internationally acclaimed horse trainer John Lyons — can be found at www.tractorsupplyco.com It's also the only site where Web surfers can watch Mr. Lyons at work.
