Name: : Living Proof No Frizz styling cream What it is: : A lightweight hair lotion that claims to employ the first new anti-frizz technology in more than 30 years. There are two formulations: Straight Making or Wave Shaping/Curl Defining. As a bonus, No Frizz purports to repel dirt and oil, lending itself to "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here" travel destinations. Or just a trip to the beach. How it works: : Created by a team led by Robert Langer, an engineering professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, No Frizz skips the usual fuzz-fighter, silicone, which, when overdosed, can leave hair looking as if it were bathed in bacon drippings.

Roseanne says one of the reasons she decided to produce a sketch comedy show for Rupert Murdoch's Fox network is that she's "sick of white-guy college humor," which she feels typifies "Saturday Night Live" on NBC."You know, that whole sensibility that came out of the '70s with comedians like Steve Martin," she said in a telephone press conference this week."It's some guy standing up there smugly telling you about how cool he is."That, says Roseanne, is what her "Saturday Night Special," which premieres at 11 tonight on WBFF (Channel 45 for a six-week trial run)

"Roseanne" used to be so much better than this."Roseanne" (8 p.m.-9 p.m., WMAR, Channel 2) -- After a nine-season run that broke all sorts of new ground, "Roseanne" goes out with the wimpiest of whimpers. Most of the show, which has Darlene and David bringing their new baby home, consists of lines that are only funny to a laugh track, while Roseanne lectures us on how to raise kids (we need to pray more and pay more attention to our extended families -- good advice, maybe, but from Roseanne?

The Tuesday night lineup looks fairly normal tonight, without many concessions to the frenetic competition of the November sweeps. But look closer, and you'll see that many series have recruited guest stars, while Fox is showcasing what may be its biggest movie of its entire season."

If you made the mistake of watching Fox's "Roseanne: An Unauthorized Biography" last night, you've got two chances to watch the real Roseanne tonight and get the taste of Denny Dillon's hideously bad portrayal out of your mouth. There's also an unofficial reunion on TV tonight, with Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad appearing on separate shows, and an official one, with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, formerly of Led Zeppelin, doing an "Unledded" concert on MTV.* "The Cosby Mysteries" (8-9 p.m., Channel 2)

A lot of Halloween-themed shows appear on TV tonight, but the trick is to gravitate to the true treats: a "Far Side" special on CBS, the annual "Roseanne" Halloween bash on ABC and an Eagles concert on MTV.* "Beverly Hills, 90210" (8-9 p.m., Channel 45) -- There's a Halloween costume party as part of tonight's show, which means the young women of "Beverly Hills, 90210" will be wearing even more makeup than usual. (To quote Count Floyd: "Oooh, that's scarrry, boys and girls.") Also part of the plot, though, is a violent showdown between Dylan (Luke Perry)

Fox's made-for-TV version of Roseanne's life is just like the supermarket tabloid stories about her: too much. Who wants to know this much -- about her or anyone else?First, take the last four big tabloid headlines about her -- her claim that she was molested by her father, the spousal abuse with which she charges ex-husband Tom Arnold, her stay at a mental institution when she was a teen-ager, and, having a child out of wedlock. Then write five flimsy scenes around each, and you've pretty much got "Roseanne: An Unauthorized Biography," which will air at 9 tonight on WBFF (Channel 45)

"The Woman Who Loved Elvis" is more unadulterated Arnold than it is pure Presley.Roseanne Arnold and her husband Tom produce and star in this offbeat film, which airs at 9 Sunday night on WJZ (Channel 13). Based on the novel, "Graced Land," ostensibly it's about the working poor in Smalltown, Iowa.But the real terrain in subject, theme and style is Roseanne Country -- that familiar territory mined by Roseanne in her weekly TV series, her stand-up comedy, and a previous made-for-TV movie. If you love her Tuesday-night series, if you're devoted to her weekday reruns, if you tape her HBO specials, you will like "The Woman Who Loved Elvis."

ROSEANNE -- THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON / / Anchor Bay / / $39.98 "I wanted to be on TV mainly to break all the rules of television," Roseanne says in an interview included in this DVD collection. She didn't break all the rules, but she broke enough of them to make Roseanne one of network television's most memorable series. And Season 4, scheduled for release Tuesday, was one of the sitcom's best years. In the long view of television history, Roseanne will be remembered for treating blue-collar characters with dignity and respect -- one of the only prime-time series to do so in more than half a century.

Brown became one of her son's most devoted fans, attending nearly all of his shows in New York.

It was in 1953, more than a TV generation ago, that the first lady of TV comedy, Lucille Ball, "gave birth" to Little Ricky on "I Love Lucy." Tonight, this generation's first lady of sitcoms, Roseanne Arnold, features an eagerly awaited birth on HER show, "Roseanne." However, it isn't her baby. It's her sister's.* "CBS Schoolbreak Special" (4-5 p.m., WBAL, Channel 11) -- Missy Crider and Tom Everett Scott star as young lovers whose sexual activity is encumbered by her discovery that he's given her a sexually transmitted disease.

"Roseanne" goes barging into the 8 o'clock family hour tonight. And it's really not such a big deal.After all, the show's in syndication every night of the week (at 6 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.) all over America."Look at the content of 'Melrose Place,' 'Beverly Hills, 90210,' 'Mad About You' and 'Friends,' " said Ted Harbert, president of ABC Entertainment, listing mostly 8 p.m. shows -- all ratings winners -- in which sexual situations and double entendre adult humor often abound. NBC's "Friends" only recently moved from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.Will the network offer up a tamer Conner clan now that the show has been moved up an hour?
