Series
On The Sopranos (8 p.m. Sun.,
HBO), and please note the time
change, Carmela asks a friend to pull a
few strings to get Meadow into college,
while those two youthful boneheads who
do odd jobs for Tony decide to defect to
Richie Aprile. And the first of the
"Sopranos" wannabes makes its debut:
Cover Me: Based on the True Life of
an FBI Family (8 p.m. Sun., USA)
stars Peter Dobson as an undercover Fed
pretending to be a mobster and juggling
his work life and family life. Shaun
Cassidy, who was responsible for the
overrated "American Gothic," created
this one. Kevin Spacey meets his adoring
public on Inside the Actors Studio (8
p.m. Sun., Bravo). E! True
Hollywood Story (9 p.m. Sun., E!)
unveils a new episode about the
hill-and-valley career of Burt Reynolds,
to compete with the 100th episode of
Behind the Music (9 p.m. Sun.,
VH1). Unfortunately for Reynolds,
the 100th episode of "Behind the Music"
is about Tina Turner.
