Joan of Arcadia (CBS, 7pm)
Conclusion of a crossover on Law & Order: Trial By Jury (NBC, 9pm)
Numb3rs (CBS, 9pm)
Rob Zombie, Bruce Campbell, Roger Corman, Faizon Love, and Jon Favreau on Dinner For Five (IFC, 9pm and midnight)

You’re on your own for Saturday TV (or lack thereof); regular TV Picks return on Sunday.

Abbott & Costello movies on TCM.

Deadwood mini marathon on HBO.

Baseball: Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies (TBS, 6pm).

Adam goes missing on Joan of Arcadia (CBS, 7pm). Yikes! Michael Badalucco (of The Practice), David Marciano (of Due South, The Shield), Kathryn Joosten (of The West Wing), and Shelly Cole (of Gilmore Girls) guest star.

Archer’s deal with the Orions brings three “alluring” Orion slave girls onto the ship on Star Trek: Enterprise (UPN, 7pm). First of the final five new episodes.

Adam Arkin and Nicole Richie guest star on the season finale of 8 Simple Rules (ABC, 7pm).

Rerun of part 1 (of 6) of Revelations (Sci-Fi, 7pm).

NBA Basketball: Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards (ESPN, 7pm); NBA Basketball: Sacramento Kings at Los Angeles Lakers (ESPN, 9:30pm).

The remains of a soldier who disappeared in Vietnam are found in Laos on JAG (CBS, 8pm). Gladys Knightand Joe Regalbuto (of Murphy Brown) guest star.

Reg E. Cathey guest stars on Third Watch (NBC, 8pm).

Christopher Knight (of The Brady Bunch) guest stars on the season finale of Less Than Perfect (ABC, 8:30pm).

Charles Shaughnessy (of The Nanny) guest stars as Fran’s ex-husband on Living With Fran (WB, 8:30pm). Fortunately Fran’s character on this show is less annoying than the one she played on The Nanny; I’m guessing her former co-star Shaughnessy plays a more annoying character on this series.

Detective Green (Jesse L. Martin) was shot at the end of Law & Order, the story continues on tonight’s episode of Law & Order: Trial By Jury (NBC, 9pm). Detective Fontana (Dennis Farina) and Detective Munch (Richard Belzer) cross over to the series from Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU. This is the sixth series that Belzer has appeared on as Munch (and I must say, it’s good to have him back on Friday at 9pm).

There’s a sniper on the loose on Numb3rs (CBS, 9pm). Lou Diamond Phillips guest stars.

Rob Zombie, Bruce Campbell, Roger Corman, Faizon Love, and Jon Favreau on Dinner For Five (IFC, 9pm and midnight).
