Worth watching

Reba, 8-10 p.m., Channels 64, 26. Another of the better Friday comedies offers its season finale and it is followed by three reruns with much of the night centering on Brock, Reba's ex-husband. In the new episode, Reba is supposed to tell him that his new wife wants another baby. In the 8:30 rerun, their older daughter wants to follow his career as a dentist. At 9, their younger daughter punches a classmate. At 9:30, Reba and Brock turn competitive, during a fund-raising run.

The George Lopez Show, 8 and 8:30 p.m., Channels 9, 2. In the first episode, George's mom is suspected of vandalizing the factory. Then a rerun finds George temporarily out of work, just as his daughter prepares for her big party.

Frasier, 8 p.m., Channels 5, 22. Ever notice that reruns seem to show up quicker these days? This one begins exactly 22 hours after its first run concluded. It's the show's finale, which runs slightly over, pushing Dateline back to 9:04 p.m.

Joan of Arcadia, 8 p.m., Channels 12, 7. Joan ponders whether God wants her to have sex with Adam. We're doubtful (that suggestion hasn't been made to anyone since Eve, and that didn't turn out so well).

Angel Eyes (2001), 8-10 p.m., Channel 25. Jennifer Lopez and Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ) star in a story of a cop and a weird loner.

Cold Case, 10 p.m., Channels 12, 7. Almost a decade ago, a man lost his job and his family because he was a murder suspect. Now he feels new information can clear him.

Biography, 10 p.m., A&E. Here's a portrait of the comedy series Happy Days. For the full experience, you can also catch the Biography portraits on the show's stars - Ron Howard at 8 p.m. and Henry Winkler at 9 p.m.

Sweeps spotlight

Hope & Faith, 9-10 p.m., Channels 9, 2.

This is one of the shows that have brought fun back to Friday television. It offers broad comedy, likable stars and a strong concept: The self-centered Faith (Kelly Ripa) was fired from her soap opera and moved in with her responsible sister Hope (Faith Ford) and family.

Now - a week before the real daytime Emmys - we get a grand twist: The long-fired Faith has a surprise daytime Emmy nomination. She heads to New York along with her kin.

The result is an hour-long season finale stuffed with soap stars. It includes Susan Lucci, of course, plus Susan Flannery, Rebecca Budig, Eric Braeden and more.
