The new cable special Cosmic Slop (10 p.m., HBO) is a sort of multicultural Twilight Zone, with funkmaster George Clinton standing in for Rod Serling. This trilogy, produced and codirected by Reginald and Warrington Hudlin (House Party), combines sci-fi, fantasy and social issues like racism and the easy accessibility of guns. The stars include Robert Guillaume, Nicholas Turturro, Chi McBride and Paula Jai Parker.
KQED airs the AIDS awareness special Stolen Moments: Red, Hot + Cool (11 p.m., Channel 9), featuring performances by jazz and hip-hop artists Digable Planets, the Pharcyde, Donald Byrd and Ron Carter. PBS, still quaking over conservative opposition to "Tales of the City," declined to offer this special as a national presentation, so individual PBS affiliates like KQED are going it alone.
