SALON'S TV PICKS FOR
MONDAY, SEPT. 14, 1998
BY JOYCE MILLMAN

N E W S H O W S

Roseanne is reborn as a daytime talk-show host on The Roseanne Show (check local listings, syndicated), which promises a mix of topical discussion, celebrity chat and entertainment. And if that doesn't work, she can always interview her past lives. Hollywood Squares (check local listings, syndicated) is back with producer Whoopi Goldberg occupying the Paul Lynde Memorial Center Square. The first batch of celebrity panelists includes Rosie O'Donnell, Kathy Najimy and Andy Dick (in the Wally Cox square?). Tom Bergeron is the host.

S P E C I A L S

The documentary series The U.S.-Mexican War (check local listings, PBS) continues its look at the 1846-48 conflict that altered the geography of both countries.

S E R I E S

Melrose Place (8 p.m., Fox) celebrates Episode 200, as well as new executive producers who get the fall season going by offing one character. Sean Lennon shows up to play at Kyle's club. Ally McBeal (9 p.m., Fox) has its season premiere, in which Cage and Fish bring in a sexy rainmaker (new cast member Portia deRossi). Ally doesn't like her. What a surprise. Everybody Loves Raymond (9 p.m., CBS) reruns last year's one-hour season finale, a flashback to Ray and Debra's wedding (which almost didn't happen). On a rerun of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (9 p.m., WB), a feverish Buffy has strange visions from her childhood.
