The show returns with the first of its three remaining new episodes tomorrow by exploring Ken Olin's character. Olin (left), one of the show's executive producers, plays a man from Holly's past. Holly, of course, is played by Olin's real-life wife and former "thirtysomething" costar Patricia Wettig, in case it's not all closely knit enough for you. Will Olin turn out to be Rebecca's father? Will that resolve all those creepy incest vibes she has with "half-brother" Justin?

This romantic comedy doesn't get much beyond formula, but it was the breakout movie for Sandra Bullock. The woman who stole "Speed" and "Demolition Man" is adorable as a ticket taker on the Chicago El who thinks she's in love with a man in a coma (Peter Gallagher), only to find she really loves his brother - an equally agreeable turn from Bill Pullman - but can't do anything about it. (PG; runs through Jan. 31)

Queen Sized
9 p.m., Lifetime

Nikki Blonsky, who played Tracy Turnblad in the "Hairspray" movie, stars in this fact-based TV movie. She plays a full-figured teen who competes to be Homecoming Queen, despite the fact that she doesn't have a stereotypical Homecoming Queen body. Her name is put on the ballot as a nasty joke, but she leaves it there to represent all the school outcasts. Annie Potts costars as her mother.
