“A woman can give people good luck merely by touching them” on Mysterious Ways (PAX, 3pm).
Proof that crossovers don’t only happen in fanfic: Detective Munch (of Homicide, Law & Order: SVU) arrests Agent Mulder and the Lone Gunmen (of The X-Files) in the cool “Unusual Suspects” episode of The X-Files (TNT, 5pm).
“Seeing Red” and “Dead Man’s Party” episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (FX, 5pm, 6pm). Apparently “Seeing Red” is the last episode of last season that FX has the rights to show just yet. Certainly does leave you on a bit of a cliffhanger if you haven’t seen the end of last season. Though presumably the reasons FX doesn’t have the rights is ‘cuz UPN may want to show those last episodes of last season again sometime this year. “Dead Man’s Party” is the second episode of the third season, the one after “Anne” and it was skipped earlier in this run on FX.
Listen Up! Charles Barkley With Ernie Johnson (TNT, 6pm).
Part 1 (of 2) of the pilot episode of JAG (USA, 6pm). You could watch the series from the very beginning. Remember that it aired on a different network during the first season and that Mac wasn’t in it then, either.
Part 8 (of 10) of Taken (Sci-Fi, 6pm-8pm).

“The team investigates a fatal paragliding accident” on C.S.I. (CBS, 8pm).
” Grace has only two tickets to The Nutcracker and cannot decide whether to take Will or Leo” on Will & Grace (NBC, 8pm). Now that Grace is married, couldn’t variations on this be the plot of every episode?
Part 9 (of 10) of Taken (Sci-Fi, 8pm, 10pm, midnight). If you want to catch this whole miniseries later, there will be marathons on Sci-Fi (including one this weekend), plus there are already plans for a DVD set sometime next year.
” A man and his daughter disappear during their morning routine” on Without A Trace (CBS, 9pm).
Tonight’s “special” new episode of ER (NBC, 9pm) is told in reverse. Starts at the end of events, works it’s way back to the beginning. And it doesn’t look good for Luka. (I’ve stopped watching ER, but the commercials have me worried about what they’re doing to Luka this season).
Anna Paquin on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Comedy Central, 10pm and midnight).
Alison Janney, Martin Scorsese on The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS, 10:35pm).
