Time for "Name That Stalker-Movie Rip-off." First, in Dead Air (USA, Oct. 6, 9-11 p.m.), Gregory Hines plays a deejay harassed by a homicidal female fan. That's right, it's a weak imitation of Clint Eastwood's 1971 thriller Play Misty for Me. Now see if Beyond Betrayal (CBS, Oct. 11, 9-11 p.m.) rings a bell. Susan Dey plays a battered wife who escapes her nutso husband (MacGyver's Richard Dean Anderson), flees to a new town, and falls for a dweeb (The Jackie Thomas Show's Dennis Boutsikaris). Give up? Of course, it's Sleeping With the Enemy. Except Julia Roberts never sang with the Partridge Family.
Cheesy Guests Naked Gun-man Leslie Nielsen guest-starred on tons of cop shows in the '60s and '70s, and you'd think his big-screen success would prevent him from returning to the scene of the crime. Yet national pride led Nielsen to Due South (CBS, Oct. 6, 8-9 p.m.), where the Canadian native will play Constable Frobisher, a Mountie who comes to Chicago seeking help from his countryman Fraser (Paul Gross). Another kitsch idol, Barry "Greg Brady" Williams, appears as himself on full house (ABC, Oct. 11, 8-8:30 p.m.). The question is, have House's ankle-biter fans ever heard of The Brady Bunch?
Choice Reruns If the answer to the last question is no, then park your kids in front of The Brady Bunch (TBS, weekdays, 4:35-5:05 p.m.), which TBS will be adding to its schedule on Oct. 3. First up is the 1969 pilot, "The Honeymoon" ("Here's the story of a lovely lady "). And to prepare for Tiffani-Amber and Mark-Paul's nuptials, stay tuned for Saved By the Bell (TBS, weekdays, 5:05-6:05 p.m.). Back-to-back Bells follow Bradys starting Oct. 3 with the pilot, "Summer Love," and a later installment, "Earthquake." Sensurround not included.
