NBC's Fall Preview
Special
8:00 P.M. EST -NBC-
You decide, are the new shows Must See TV or are they lunge-for-the-remote-to-change-the-channel
bad? Jill Hennessy hosts this special sneak peek at the new comedies
and dramas debuting in September. Included are clips from "In-Laws,"
'Hidden Hills," "Good Morning, Miami," "American Dreams" and "Boomtown."

and "Ed."
Anaconda
9:00 P.M. EST -CBS-
Before she became diva-tastic, Jennifer Lopez starred in this 1997
creature feature. A film crew is taken hostage by a crazy snake-hunting
lunatic (Jon Voight). Long story short, they find the homicidal reptile
and soon wish that they had been taken hostage by a crazy butterfly-hunting
lunatic. Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz and Owen Wilson also star.
Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory
8:00 P.M. EST -FAM-
Finding the golden ticket will get you a personal tour of Willy Wonka's
magical factory, but remember to follow the rules. If you want to
go home alive, don't drink out of the chocolate river, chew the experimental
blueberry gum, demand a golden goose, transmit yourself with a shrinking
ray or drink the fizzy lifting drink. Otherwise, the Oompa Loompas
may be singing your eulogy. Gene Wilder stars.

You Can Count
On Me

black sheep.

Maternal
Instincts

Subtle as
a Serpent
