Remote patrol

Channel 19 brings back "Vote for Me," the marvelous, tongue-in-cheek two-parter from 1996 that follows candidates on their real-life adventures on the campaign trail, at 10:30 tonight. Culled from thousands of hours of footage, we meet Irish aldermen in Chicago learning to speak Spanish, a caustic media consultant from New York producing attack ads for Democrats in Alabama and municipal candidates in Honolulu in a bizarre ritual known as "sign-waving." Also tonight, "Trinity," the last of the Irish-family shows to premiere this fall (8 p.m. on Channel 41), looks to have a high degree of hokey, with stereotypical roles assigned to the three brothers (priest, cop, blue-collar guy) and sometimes melodramatic writing.
