Salon's TV picks for Tuesday, Nov. 30, 1999

Nov 30, 1999 | Series

On Buffy the Vampire Slayer (8 p.m., WB), casual remarks become true when one of Willow's spells gets out of hand, resulting in Buffy preparing to marry Spike and Giles going blind. And on Angel (9 p.m., WB), Glenn Quinn's stint as sidekick Doyle comes to a heroic end. No word yet on his replacement. Grace inadvertently opens up a new career avenue for Will on Will & Grace (9 p.m., NBC). Maxine is even crankier than usual when Gillian, Vincent and an abandoned baby all take up residence with her on Judging Amy (10 p.m., CBS). Frontline (check local times, PBS) presents "Fat," a look at obesity in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Just what you want to watch as you're eating your way through the holidays, right?
