Prime Suspect (Channel 9 Sunday at 8 p.m.) is a so-so 1982 TV movie that deals with an innocent citizen falling under suspicion for murder as a result of the reckless zeal of a TV reporter. Mike Farrell and Teri Garr star.

That unalloyed delight, The Sting, airs on Channel 13 Sunday at 8 p.m. In this carefully crafted entertainment, Robert Redford is an up-and-coming con man who persuades Paul Newman, a legendary big-time con man on the skids in Chicago, to help him get revenge on New York racketeer Robert Shaw.

The new two-part, five-hour Family of Spies (CBS Sunday at 9 p.m., completed Tuesday at 8 p.m.) stars Powers Boothe as master spy John Walker Jr. and Lesley Ann Warren as his unhappy wife.

Lethal Weapon (NBC Sunday at 9 p.m.) is a big, shallow, flashy buddy-buddy cop thriller, but it works because of the unpredictability of Mel Gibson in the title role and Danny Glover as his apoplectic partner.

The affectionate 1987 spoof Dragnet (Channel 5 Monday at 8 p.m.), with Dan Aykroyd in good form as Joe Friday’s super-square nephew and Tom Hanks as his sidekick, is sabotaged by an outlandish, overdone plot.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on Monday is the first of five Channel 13 presentations at 8 p.m. of Clint Eastwood films. This film, A Fistful of Dollars (Wednesday) and For a Few Dollars More (Thursday) are the three Sergio Leone Westerns that established Eastwood as a star. The others are Ted Post’s terrific Western Hang ‘Em High (Tuesday) and The Enforcer (Friday), the third and one of the best of Eastwood’s Dirty Harry series.

The new TV movie Murder in Mississippi (NBC Monday at 9 p.m.) stars Tom Hulce, Blair Underwood and Josh Charles as the three young civil rights workers who were murdered in the summer of 1964 by a gang of police and Ku Klux Klansmen for helping blacks register to vote. Jennifer Grey plays Hulce’s wife.

Another new TV movie, Anything to Survive (ABC Monday at 9 p.m.), tells of a carpenter (Robert Conrad) shipwrecked off Alaska with his two teen-age children.

The 1986 Nothing in Common (Channel 5 Tuesday at 8 p.m.) afforded the late Jackie Gleason an extraordinary screen farewell. He portrays a burnt-out Chicago children’s clothings salesman as if he were playing Willy Loman. Tom Hanks plays Gleason’s son, an advertising whiz kid who loathes him but who must come to terms with him now that Hanks’ mother (Eva Marie Saint) has left him.

Anyone who ever has tried to fix up any kind of residence will respond to the laughter of recognition that The Money Pit (Channel 5 Wednesday at 8 p.m.) elicits--even though this 1986 comedy isn’t as inspired or as funny as it should be. Ton Hanks and Shelley Long, however, are delightful as a young couple foolish enough to grab a Long Island mansion for a mere $200,000.

Mr. Mom (Channel 11 Wednesday at 8 p.m.) finds a fired Michael Keaton becoming a househusband when his wife (Teri Garr) lands a job. Nothing special, but it was a big 1983 hit all the same, thanks mainly to its stars.

In the 1988 The Wizard of Loneliness (Channels 28 and 15 Wednesday at 9 p.m.), director Jenny Bowen gives us a childhood idyll with black edges. Lukas Haas stars as a 12-year-old Californian separated from his parents during World War II and forced to live with relatives in Vermont.

Kramer vs. Kramer (Channel 5 Thursday at 8 p.m.) focuses on a divorce, a father’s adjustment to single parenthood and a vicious custody battle. It’s an intimate film, beautifully done on all levels, and a 1979 Oscar winner for writer-director Robert Benton and actors Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep.

Papillon (Channel 5 Friday at 7:30 p.m.), one of the most relentlessly grueling of all screen epics, stars Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman as inmates in France’s brutal Devil’s Island prison during the ‘30s.

Terry Gilliam’s warped and wonderful 1981 Time Bandits (Channel 5 Saturday at6 p.m.) revolves around a bright 11-year-old English boy (Craig Warnock) who takes off with a six-pack of dwarfs who have stolen a map that charts a few dropped stitches in the fabric of the universe--virtual trips through time and space.

In Neil Simon’s deeply affecting Chapter Two (Channel 5 Saturday at 8 p.m.), Marsha Mason is remarkable as a woman whose only rival for the love of her husband (James Caan) is his memory of his late wife.
