Series

Boston Public (8 p.m., Fox) concludes its crossover with "The Practice." On Ally McBeal (9 p.m., Fox), Richard hires a rainmaker (Taye Diggs), and Barry Manilow has a cameo as himself.

Boies' prodigal dad (guest Billy Dee Williams) is admitted to the hospital on Gideon's Crossing (10 p.m., ABC).

Specials

Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine and Joan Collins play Hollywood has-beens revving up for a comeback. Is this the premise of a "Saturday Night Live" skit?

Chuck Woolery hosts Kiss the Bride (9 p.m., WB), a reality special in which three couples compete to win a televised wedding and honeymoon. To where, "Temptation Island"? Samuel L.
