Series
Homicide (10 p.m. Fri., NBC) reruns the best episode from last season. Disgraced cop Mike Kellerman (Reed Diamond) shows up (he's a private investigator now) and goes head to head with Falsone in a case involving a pair of teenage lovers and their dead newborn. On a rerun of The Simpsons (8 p.m. Sun., Fox), Bart is assigned to do community service at the Retirement Castle; somehow, this leads to a parody of "Titanic." True Hollywood Story (9 p.m. Sun., E!) has a new episode about Alfred Hitchcock to mark what would have been his 100th birthday. I'm sure the Master would be deeply touched. Behind the Music (9 p.m. Sun., VH1) has a 90-minute episode about the first Woodstock. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (9 p.m. Sun., Sci-Fi Channel), the show that made an art form out of talking back to the movie screen, signs off for good after a 10-year run. On Sex and the City (9 p.m. Sun., HBO), the women are in the unusual position of all being involved in relationships at the same time. Jeff Greenfield has a nice interview with Fred Rogers on CNN & Time (10 p.m. Sun., CNN). Nicolas Cage is the subject of a new Biography (8 p.m. EDT/ 9 PDT, Mon., A&E). It's all in the Stiller family as Anne Meara guests opposite husband Jerry on a rerun of The King of Queens (8 p.m. Mon., CBS). Daughter Amy Stiller also appears. But what about Ben? Ally seeks the counsel of therapist Tracy Clark (Tracey Ullman) on a rerun of Ally McBeal (9 p.m. Mon., Fox). The new sitcom Katie Joplin (9:30 p.m. Mon., WB) stars Park Overall as a talk radio host.
