SALON'S TV PICKS FOR
THURSDAY, FEB. 25, 1999
BY JOYCE MILLMAN

S P E C I A L S

Surviving the Moment of Impact 3 (8 p.m., Fox) brings us still more footage of car wrecks and plane crashes, while Shocking Behavior Caught on Tape (9 p.m., Fox) unreels more surveillance camera follies. Hang in there -- only one more week of sweeps to go. Five astronauts are stranded on a mission to the Red Planet in the new TV movie Escape from Mars (8 p.m., UPN). Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett head the cast in the 1995 crowd-pleaser Waiting to Exhale (9 p.m., ABC).

S E R I E S

Phoebe finds a badge and poses as a cop on Friends (8 p.m., NBC). On ER (10 p.m., NBC), Eriq La Salle gets his turn in the spotlight as the financially strapped Benton spends his vacation working for a program that sends doctors to needy parts of the country. He ends up in a small Mississippi town where the locals aren't too keen on black people. Celebrity Deathmatch (10 p.m., MTV) pits Sarah Michelle Gellar against Neve Campbell. No contest. And obsessive-compulsive disorder is the topic on 48 Hours (10 p.m., CBS).
