A 13-hour Lost in Space Marathon (beginning 3 p.m., Sci-Fi Channel) unspools on the very day -- Oct. 16, 1997 -- that Professor John Robinson and his family lifted off from Earth for a three-hour tour ... Oops! Wrong show. Space Family Robinson (plus the robot and evil, cowardly Dr. Zachary Smith) were supposed to head for the Alpha Centauri star system but ended up off track and wandering from planet to planet. The marathon features the pilot episode of the '60s series, as well as a "lost" episode called "No Place to Hide" (8:15 p.m.), interviews with original cast members and numerous plugs for the upcoming feature film remake starring William Hurt and Gary Oldman. Raise your hand if you were in love with Mark "Don West" Goddard or Marta "Judy Robinson" Kristen ... S E R I E S Kirk Douglas is the subject on a new Biography (8 p.m. EDT/9 PDT, A&E). Father Ray takes a day off on Nothing Sacred (8 p.m., ABC). Germ freak Jerry's worst nightmare comes true on Seinfeld (9 p.m., NBC) when, after a freak accident, he requires a blood transfusion. Also, Elaine babysits, George's new girlfriend likes to do it with food and fitness buff Izzy Mandelbaum (Lloyd Bridges) returns. 48 Hours (10 p.m., CBS) reports on people with dangerous jobs. All available doctors are called in to help after a school bus accident on ER (10 p.m., NBC). Rosie O'Donnell's on-air pleas for the show to stop doing stories about maimed and dead kids are going unheeded. S P O R T S Baseball playoffs: Indians at Orioles, Game 7, ALCS (if necessary) (8 p.m., Fox). Football: Chargers at Chiefs (8 p.m., TNT). T A L K Tipper Gore guests on Rosie O'Donnell (syndicated); David Letterman (CBS) hosts Mike Wallace and LL Cool J; Jay Leno (NBC) features Keanu Reeves and Rowan Atkinson; scheduled guests on Charlie Rose (PBS) are Patti Smith and a Kennedy tapes panel; Lynn Whitfield and Lea DeLaria are panelists on Politically Incorrect (ABC); Tori Spelling and Ice-T appear on Conan O'Brien (NBC).
