Some think that the “Prison Riot” episode of Homicide: Life on the Street (Court TV, midnight) was part of the inspiration for Oz. Charles S. Dutton and Dean Winters guest star. This was actually the first episode produced for the fifth season, but the third episode to air (there’s a two-parter that should air before it). So if you’re watching this run of the series on Court TV for the first time, it may be a little confusing. The first part of that two-parter should air tomorrow.
French Stewart, Jill Eikenberry, columnist Debbie Schlussel, Miles Copeland on Politically Incorrect (ABC, check your local listings).
Jon Stewart, Puddle of Mudd on a very funny rerun of Last Call with Carson Daly (NBC, check your local listings). I love Stewart’s comments to Daly about the whole unsigned contract incident.
