Series

Ross is attracted to one of his students
on Friends (8 p.m., NBC). The new
animated series God, the Devil and
Bob (8:30 p.m., NBC)
premieres. Bob
(French Stewart) is a regular guy whose
soul becomes the prize in a bet between
God (James Garner) and the Devil (Alan
Cumming). In the show, God looks like
Jerry Garcia, which was a funny gag --
when "Roseanne" did it five years ago.
48 Hours (10 p.m., CBS) has a
show about "cold" murder cases that were
eventually solved. From Springsteen's
consigliere to Silvio on "The
Sopranos": 20/20 Downtown (10 p.m.,
ABC)
interviews the multifaceted
Steve Van Zandt.
