blue glow SALON'S TV PICKS FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1998 BY JOYCE MILLMAN S P E C I A L S Fox cashes in with a rerun of Titanic: Breaking New Ground (8 p.m., Fox), a documentary about the making of the highest-grossing movie in history. The new documentary City Dump: The Story of the 1951 CCNY Basketball Scandal (10 p.m., HBO) recounts the point-shaving scandal that shattered the basketball program at City College of New York. S P O R T S NBA: Suns at Jazz (8 p.m., TNT). S E R I E S Ida Lupino, the actress who became a pioneer female director, is profiled on a new Biography (8 p.m. EST/9 PST, A&E). Buffy the Vampire Slayer (8 p.m., WB) reruns the episode where a new slayer is mistakenly sent to Sunnydale and her style contrasts sharply with Buffy's. Also, Angel is captured by Spike, who plans to use him in a ritual to get Dru's powers back. Frasier (9 p.m., NBC) is envious of a new on-air personality (Bruce Campbell). On Lateline (9:30 p.m., NBC), which had a disappointingly flat debut episode last week, Freundlich (Al Franken) is suspected of writing a "Primary Colors"-type novel. This show aspires to be the "Larry Sanders" of news spoofs. A word of advice: "Larry Sanders" doesn't have a laugh track. NYPD Blue (10 p.m., ABC) is back with a new episode in which Sipowicz tells Simone the truth about his medical problem and the detectives tackle cases involving a disabled drug dealer and the death of a security guard. T A L K Rosie O'Donnell (syndicated) welcomes Lauren Holly; Dennis Hopper and Patricia Heaton guest on David Letterman (CBS); a rerun of Jay Leno (NBC) features Burt Reynolds and Kate Winslet; Dick Clark and Michael Bolton are panelists on Politically Incorrect (ABC); Francis Ford Coppola and Bryant Gumbel appear on a rerun of Conan O'Brien (NBC).
