Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (9 p.m. Sun., ABC) repeats the rock and pop celebrity edition, featuring Gene Simmons, Sisqo, Amy Grant and a few Backstreet Boys, among others. What would a three-day holiday weekend be without an X-Files marathon (11 a.m. Mon., FX)? Thirteen hours, comin' at ya. Boston Public (8 p.m. Mon., CBS) reruns the series pilot. NBC continues to shill for the movie "Pearl Harbor" with a Dateline NBC (8 p.m. Mon., NBC) edition on the special effects. 48 Hours (10 p.m. Mon., CBS) reports on America's obsession with staying young, hosted by a dashingly black-haired Dan Rather.
Specials
The unheralded new TV movie Laughter on the 23rd Floor (8 p.m. Sat., Showtime) quietly premieres on one of the deadest weekends of the TV year.
