Series
Dylan is injured in a gay-bashing incident on Beverly Hills, 90210 (8 p.m., Fox). The first lady (Stockard Channing) finally shows up on The West Wing (9 p.m., NBC) in an episode about a state dinner that's interrupted by one crisis after another.

Taking a cue from Carey and Ryan Stiles' "Whose Line is it Anyway?" the episode will have a segment that's improvised on the spot. On Roswell (9 p.m., WB), Michael hijacks Maria and her car and heads off in search of the mysterious dome he's been having visions of.
