Series
Phoebe finds a police badge, and then a boyfriend, on a rerun of Friends (8 p.m., NBC). On a repeat of ER (10 p.m., NBC), Weaver thinks she's found her birth mother and Hathaway makes a decision about her pregnancy. 48 Hours (10 p.m., CBS) updates a report on the world's first hand transplant recipient. Ted Koppel hosts the eight-part series Nightline in Prime Time: Brave New World (10 p.m., ABC), which looks at life and technology as we head into 2000. In the opening episode, Robert Krulwich reports on Americans' obsession with getting things done fast, and contrasts our high-tech, go-go lives with those of the Amish. "Brave New World" aims to set itself apart from your average newsmag and it does -- it's the only one with a house band (They Might Be Giants).
