Best of the night: A new "My So-Called Life" (who knows how many more of those there'll be?) and an old "Seinfeld" to be treasured, especially by fans of Teri Hatcher of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman."* "Mad About You" (8 p.m.-8:30 p.m., 9:30 p.m.-10 p.m., Channel 2) -- The repeat episodes tonight are more noteworthy for when they're broadcast than for what they contain. The first episode is shown during this mature comedy's regular, and too early, time slot at the beginning of NBC's Thursday lineup.

Bah. Grrrrr. Arrgghhh. Movies like "Heaven's Prisoners" make me grumpier and grouchier. Why I think it's turning me into Bob Dole.One thing about Steve Hunter, Steve Hunter likes a movie that makes a little sense. Steve Hunter hates it when it appears that the filmmakers just haven't thought very critically about what they're doing. The old movies did. Why can't the new ones? What's wrong with these kids? Grrrrr. Growwwwl.Now take "Heaven's Prisoners." Steve Hunter wants to like this movie, because he likes well-made, intelligent thrillers, particularly with noir overtones, particularly with beat-up heroes around his own age, particularly with Teri Hatcher in any form, shape, costume or hair-do.

Who says Superman is invulnerable?"Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" (8 p.m.-9 p.m., WMAR, Channel 2) -- Proving there are things even more dangerous than Kryptonite, low ratings do in Superman. The series wraps up its four-year run tonight, as Supes and Lois (Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher) worry that they may not be able to have a child (incompatible biologies, apparently). Meanwhile, Harry Anderson is the bad guy du jour, Dr. "Fat Head" Mensa, bent on using his considerable telekinetic powers for evil.

For a show about nothing, there was always something about "Seinfeld." And that something was usually pretty funny.Which makes Thursday's announcement that the show won't be coming back for a 10th season a pretty lousy Christmas present. What are people going to talk about around the water cooler Friday mornings?The best thing to do now is simply pause and reflect. And so, in the spirit of public service (a notion Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer would certainly frown on), here are a few things to think about:The 10 greatest "Seinfeld" moments (in no particular order)

Reality starlet Audrina Partridge swears The Hills, MTV's highest-rated show, is real. Truth be told, it has to be. No scribe worth his guild card should lay claim to a show constructed like a doughnut: The center (bland, goody two-shoes Lauren Conrad) holds scant interest -- it's all the surrounding unhealthy ingredients that tempt us: ambitious ex-friend Heidi Montag; her svengali fiance Spencer Pratt; hanger-on Justin "Bobby" Brescia; stern boss Lisa Love. Blogs, tabloids and other media have complained in recent days and weeks about fiction in the reality drama, which depicts Conrad, Partridge, friend Whitney Port and Montag living it up in Los Angeles.
