Don't go looking for a recitation of "Childe" or an explanation of the worth of Byron's poetry. "Byron" treats its hero as the primordial rock star, complete with a stable of female groupies, many from the nicest homes. Lady Caroline Lamb (Camilla Power) throws herself at the poet, and he obliges her and dumps her in short order. Little wonder she called him, "Mad, bad, and dangerous to know."

This biography emphasizes his outsized personality traits that fascinated and repelled his acquaintances and readers for more than two centuries.

Nashville's perpetual "bad girl" Tanya Tucker gets her own show, "Tuckerville" (9 tonight, TLC). The 26-episode documentary reality series will chronicle the singer's life as a single mother of three as she attempts to maintain a recording career. Tanya may be the face that launched a thousand tabloid headlines, but her expectations are more modest these days: "There's no way to be a great mother, a great performer, a great businesswoman, a great housekeeper, a great cook and a great lover. You just can't do it all, but you do the best you can."

The character of Sherlock Holmes has always been rather distant and above it all.

This presentation is a real treat for long time Sherlock Holmes buffs as well as those who have never read a line of Conan Doyle or caught a glimpse of Basil Rathbone.

The series "My First Place" (8 p.m., HGTV) showcases the joys of owning a home for the very first time. It also offers helpful tips and cautionary tales for the first-time homebuyer.
