Series
Staring into the abyss of possible cancellation, Homicide (10 p.m. Fri., NBC) airs the "Subway" episode from last season as a remembrance of things past. It's the one where a guy (Vincent D'Onofrio) is pushed in front of a subway train and gets gruesomely and, eventually, fatally squished; Pembleton keeps him company until he becomes a homicide statistic. Saturday Night Live (11:30 p.m. Sat., NBC) reruns the Jennifer Love Hewitt show, with music from the Beastie Boys. The E! True Hollywood Story (8 p.m. Sun., E!) turns its sensitive and tasteful eye to the short life of child star Anissa Jones, who went from playing Buffy on "Family Affair" to a teen drug casualty in record time. On a new episode of The X-Files (9 p.m. Sun., Fox), Scully displays more of her alarmingly bad taste in men when she becomes attracted to Mulder's neighbor, who looks like Sean Penn in "Dead Man Walking" and may or may not be ripping the hearts out of people's bodies. Masterpiece Theatre (check local times, Sun., PBS) offers "Reckless, the Sequel," which continues last year's romantic drama about a man who runs off with a sexy older woman, who happens to be the boss's wife. Robson Green and Francesca Annis star. On The Practice (10 p.m. Sun., ABC), Helen's chief witness, a teen who says he witnessed his father murder his mother, recants. And, oh yeah, nude photos of Lucy surface on the Internet.
