Today on TV

Baseball playoffs: Phillies at Dodgers (2:30 p.m., TBS); Angels at Yankees (5:30 p.m., Ch. 13)

Ghost Whisperer (7 p.m., Ch. 2): There's a ghost haunting the hospital.

Law & Order (7 p.m., Ch. 5): Well, this episode is just full of reality-show references — it's even titled "Reality Bites." The story revolves around Larry (comedian Jim Gaffigan) who adopted 10 special-needs children with his wife, who's been murdered. He's in development on a reality show titled "Larry Plus 10." But he's in competition with a character who looks suspiciously like the Octomom, who also wants a reality show of her own. And the investigation reveals that Larry had an affair. With the baby sitter. Generally, the ripped-from-the-headlines stories on "Law & Order" are pretty interesting. This one, however, seems more than a bit forced. And, at this point, we're so sick of the real reality "stars," it's hard to work up much enthusiasm for faux reality stars. Even if they're bumping off the, um, Kate character.
