The town of Barrington, Rhode Island is filled with fancy boutiques,

wealthy and well-educated. An upscale suburb of nearby Providence,
it's an ideal community where well-to-do families raise perfect kids.

was forced to leave the show when she became pregnant. Plato then

Portrait of the innovative and controversial comic who created the

interviewed such luminaries as Ralph Nader, Donald Trump, and Newt
Gingrich, and had them all believing that Ali G was a real person. And
as the bumbling Borat from Kazahkstan, Cohen infuriated the government
of that nation with his movie, Borat! Cultural Learnings of America
for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. The movie garnered
Cohen a Golden Globe, as well as several law suits from disgruntled
interview subjects who appeared in the film.

A bird lover is found dead, his beloved cockatoo by his side. A woman
suspects her brother has been murdered by his wife. A hit-and-run
driver is brought to justice by an imprint found on his victim. And a
kinky ménage a trois leads to a classic case of "he said, she said."
Michael Baden, former Chief Medical Examiner of NYC, shows how
forensic science and "detectives of death" cracked four criminal cases
that had long gone cold.

7-8pm -- CITY CONFIDENTIAL(R) - 98 - St. Louis: Family Man, Hit Man
Ever since Lewis and Clark paddled past St. Louis, it's been the
gateway to the west. Unfortunately for St. Louis, heading west in
search of a better life was a hard habit to shake. By the 1990s, so
many had fled to the suburbs that the old joke about the Gateway Arch
being "a monument to the people who left town" wasn't so funny. But
moving to the safe suburbs proved deadly for a housewife, while her
husband was miles away on a "daddy's weekend" with the four kids. Paul
Winfield narrates.

were simply playing a game.
