Staying in

• TV tip: Beau Bridges' P.T. Barnum miniseries (8 p.m. or 10 p.m. today and Monday, A&E), up against stiff competition from the Emmys, will repeat twice Saturday (11 a.m.-3 p.m.; 8 p.m.-midnight).
What's in stores today
• Bengals video: Kick off the Bengals '99 season (they open in Nashville today) with the official NFL Team Video. A New Breed ($14.95) looks at 1998 season bright spots Corey Dillon, Takeo Spikes and Brian Simmons and includes a tribute to former Bengals offensive tackle Anthony Munoz, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year. Footage is much more dramatic than the dismal season, but the sound (at least on a review copy) was atrocious.
