TV wants you

The Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences holds its annual Career Day starting with a panel discussion and Q&A session at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 14, at WGN Channel 9's studios at 2501 W. Bradley Place, Chicago. Former "Bozo's Circus" producer-director Al Hall will moderate the discussion with a panel including WFLD Channel 32 reporter Lilia Chacon. Admission is free for students and NATAS members, $5 for others, with registration starting at 8:30 a.m.

Brunch with Betty

The Museum of Broadcast Communications plays host to a "Brunch With Betty White" from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, March 15, in the Empire Room of the Palmer House, 17 E. Monroe St., Chicago. WLIT 93.9-FM morning host Melissa Forman welcomes the Oak Park native back home. Tickets are $50, available at museum.tv or by calling (312) 822-0512.

Great debate

Thom Hartmann of progressive WCPT 820-AM and Michael Medved of conservative WIND 560-AM take part in "The Great Debate" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Meadows Club, 2950 W. Golf Rd., Rolling Meadows. Tickets are sold out, but it should be a titanic tussle of the minds.

On the 'Road' again

"Mad Max" came out of the outback as an independent film so thickly Australian it almost required subtitles. The sequel "The Road Warrior" is what truly made George Miller's fast-paced storytelling a worldwide phenomenon - and Mel Gibson a global star. It's at 8:40 p.m. today on Encore.

Mel Gibson is "The Road Warrior."
