ALIVE FROM OFF CENTER at 10 on 26CBS offers a new special exploring the majesty of the lioness, "Queen of the Beasts," with narrator Lindsay Wagner. The program, part of the Survival Anglia series, focuses on the work of one band of researchers in the Serengeti who are studying leonine society, unique among athe world's 35 species of wildcats. At the same time, WTTG runs a two-hour special, "3,000 Miles, 21 Days, 10 Cents," a challenge among six travelers from diverse backgrounds who were divided into three teams and sent from the West Coast to New York without cash or credit cards. Each team had a Yugo to drive, a tank of gas, a dime and their ingenuity. At 10, Deborah Norville anchors NBS News' look at young women who are committing crimes (robbery, murder, gang violence) once thought to be the domain of men-and at 10 times their rate. On PBS, Mark Russell gets another chance to needle the politicians on the first of six new comedy specials at 8. Later, WETA airs a profile of Cary Grant and two installments of "Alive From Off Center" - one is Bill Irwin's tribute to silent film comedians, the other recreating village life in the Middle Ages.THURSDAYNOTRE DAME VS.
