Viewers said ''I do'' to the multigenerational miniseries Oprah Winfrey Presents The Wedding (3rd), giving ABC its highest Sunday numbers since, well, its last Oprah-produced movie offering, November's Before Women Had Wings. Unfortunately for the Alphabet, the conclusion of its special Motown 40: The Music Is Forever (52nd) didn't get nearly as warm a reception. Showing mettle opposite the Olympics, NBC scored with Must See reruns of Seinfeld (5th) and Friends (13th), and Fox earned strong numbers with two reality specials, Moment of Impact (9th) and World's Scariest Police Chases 4 (14th). The X-Files (10th) hit pay dirt with a vampire-themed episode, while a Buffy the Vampire Slayer repeat (65th) proved to have just as much bite the second time around.
