• It's All Relative (7:30 p.m., Ch. 4): If last week's bad premiere left any doubt in your mind, this week's bad episode clearly demonstrates that this is a bad show.

• Becker (8:30 p.m., Ch. 2): Here's a lesson in TV as a business. CBS dropped this show last spring, but put it back on the schedule (at least in large part) because (1) it's produced by Paramount; (2) both CBS and Paramount are owned by Viacom; and (3) the show needed some more episodes so that it would have enough in the can to enter the lucrative syndication market. (Oh, and after being reinstated as a midseason replacement show, "Becker" got pushed up to a fall launch when CBS had problems with a new sitcom, "The Stones," that was originally slated to air here. That show has been pushed back to midseason.) In the sixth-season opener, Becker (Ted Danson) and Chris (Nancy Travis) confront their feelings.
