Jason Alexander, Marilu Henner and Lou Diamond Phillips face off in the Jeopardy! (7 p.m., Ch. 7) celebrity tournament. Wouldn't this make a great "Seinfeld" episode?
Scully (Gillian Anderson) returns to The X-Files (9 p.m., Ch. 2); she's in a Washington, D.C. hospital on a life-support system and Mr. X warns Mulder (David Duchovny) not to investigate how she got there. So, what was that scene of Scully apparently being impregnated by space aliens a couple of weeks ago all about?
On Picket Fences (9 p.m., Ch. 5), Jill (Kathy Baker) takes the ailing Wambaugh (Fyvush Finkel) to a fancy Chicago hospital for tests. The hospital? Chicago Hope, of course, setting of "Picket Fences" creator David E. Kelley's newest series. "Hope" docs Mandy Patinkin and Hector Elizondo guest.
Homicide: Life on the Street (10 p.m., Ch. 4) returns after a week off with Pembleton (Andre Braugher) and Russert (Isabella Hofmann) sued for allegedly violating a serial-killing suspect's civil rights and Lewis (Clark Johnson) and Bayliss (Kyle Secor) both attracted to an artist who makes models of crime scenes. This amazing series is gaining on "NYPD Blue" for the title of TV's prestige cop show. The writing's so elegantly hard- boiled, it knocks the wind out of you. And Braugher's acting is a thing of beauty. Of course, nobody's watching.
20/20 (10 p.m., Ch. 7) has an interview with David Geffen, the entertainment mogul who's forming a studio with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg. There's also a segment on the risks of pediatric care in hospital emergency rooms.
