It wasn't my favorite show, but lest I be accused of only playing favorites, here's a shout out to all you "Freaks and Geeks" fans. Literally thousands of you watched the NBC show about coming of age in the year 1980. Now you can relive that season again and again and again in repeats on Fox Family Channel, beginning at 7 tonight. Also tonight: You may have read about the melee that broke out during the taping of UPN's "The Source Hip-Hop Music Awards" (7, Channel 29) last week. Security guards were pelted with compact discs, audience members rushed the stage and the producers were forced to stop the show after only half the awards had been handed out. The ceremony will air tonight - heavily edited, of course - though perhaps UPN will hold off showing any of those new public service announcements in which professional wrestlers urge viewers to "Smackdown Your Vote!" @ART CAPTION:Busta Rhymes, assisted by Da Brat and Mo'Nique, is host of The Source awards. @ART:Photo (color) >>>
