Last night’s episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer air again this morning: “Family” at 6am, “Fool for Love” at 7am on FX.
The ninth ever episode of Murder One (A&E, 7am and 1pm).
Will Smith, Elijah Wood, Judi Dench on The Today Show (NBC, 7am-10am).
Sonny Bono guest stars on an early episode of Lois and Clark (TNT, 7am). Yet another way that show is superior to Smallville.
Joxer’s brother, the assassin, is up to no good and it’s up to Joxer (Ted Raimi), Autolycus (Bruce Campbell), Gabrielle, and Xena, Warrior Princess (Oxygen, 10am and 5pm) to take care of things.
Jon Stewart guest stars as Matthew’s “twin” brother on NewsRadio (A&E, 11:30am and 5:30pm).
Robert Preston is The Music Man (AMC, 12:30pm and 11:30pm).
Fred Willard, Suzanne Somers on The Rosie O’Donnell Show (syndicated, check your local listings).
Two more episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (FX, 5pm and 6pm) from last year. Episodes are “Shadow” and “Listening to Fear,” both of which feature really cheesy monsters (and I’m not just talking about Glory).
New episode of Friends (NBC, 7pm).
Arthur asks a former classmate out on a date, but then The Tick (FOX, 7:30pm) thinks he’s invited along on the date, too in an episode titled “Arthur Needs His Space.”
Rerun of the Birthday episode of Maybe It’s Me (WB, 7:30pm).
Holiday episodes of Will & Grace (NBC, 8pm) and Just Shoot Me (NBC, 8:30pm). Ray Liotta guest stars on the latter as a Christmas-obsessed version of himself.
Warlocks are using muses for evil purposes on Charmed (WB, 8pm).
New Christmas episode of ER (NBC, 9pm). And yeah, Dr. Benton is leaving or something. In case you hadn’t heard.
There is a new episode of C.S.I. (CBS, 9pm) tonight, but it airs at 9pm rather than 8pm. (Season finale of The Amazing Race is airing at 8pm after Survivor).
Will Smith and Muhammad Ali on Primetime Thursday (ABC, 9pm).
Liv Tyler, Cake on The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS, 10:35pm).
Russell Crowe, Sting on The Tonight Show (NBC, 10:35pm).
Benjamin Bratt, Jaime Pressly, Lewis Black on Late Night with Conan O’Brien (NBC, 11:35pm).
