Friends (8 p.m., NBC) is a rerun (the one where Joey starts carrying a purse). Will & Grace (9:30 p.m., NBC) is a rerun (the one where they eavesdrop on the neighbors through the heating vent). ER (10 p.m., NBC) is a rerun (hey, it's Christmas Eve!). Even Celebrity Deathmatch (10 p.m., MTV) is a rerun (Pat Sajak vs. Alex Trebek). That leaves Mystery! (Check local times, PBS), in which Hetty Wainthropp goes undercover at a shelter for abused women, Fox Files (9 p.m., Fox), which remembers Ted Bundy on the 10th anniversary of his execution, and 48 Hours (10 p.m., CBS), which promises a report on the dangers of cosmetic surgery. Good luck. - - - - - - - - - - - - Specials Even the special isn't so special -- it's a rerun of Robert Redford's 1994 drama Quiz Show (8 p.m., ABC), starring Ralph Fiennes as the focus of the 1958 TV quiz show scandal. - - - - - - - - - - - - Sports NBA Playoffs: Jazz at Trail Blazers, Game 6 (9 p.m., TNT) NHL Playoffs: Maple Leafs at Sabres, Game 3 (7:30 p.m., ESPN) - - - - - - - - - - - - Talk Rosie O'Donnell (syndicated) Mary Chapin Carpenter David Letterman (CBS) Bill Murray, Everlast Jay Leno (NBC) Jack Lemmon, Penn & Teller Politically Incorrect (ABC) Ben Affleck, Steven Wright (rerun) Conan O'Brien (NBC) Bill Bellamy salon.com | May 27, 1999
