ALLY MCBEAL

Fox (25) 8 to 9 p.m. and 9 to 10 p.m.

A double dose of Ms. McBeal.

In the second show, Ally lands in jail again for getting into a sidewalk scuffle (she does a spin kick!), a terrible unisex bathroom accident befalls Stefan, Cage's pet frog, and Ally represents a woman being sued for throwing her best friend into a garbage canister.
