Well, it's a good week to enjoy all the activities the city has to offer, or maybe stretch out reading that new Harry Potter book, because, when it comes to television, things are looking positively dismal. Aside from the wonders of Shark Week and the always recommendable Philadelphia Stories (WYBE, Tuesday and Saturday, 10 pm), the pickings are slim.

Elstone II; and Divine Lorraine Hotel, which was produced by Christina Ortiz, age 14, and highlights Philly's formerly magnificent -- and now crumbling -- landmark. Saturday's film is Under New Management: Student Voices & School Reform in Philadelphia.
