Shelley Long stars in Voices Within: The Lives of Truddi Chase (ABC Sunday and Monday at 9 p.m.), a two-part drama based on the true story of a woman afflicted with multiple personality disorder.

The 1979 Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Channel 13 Monday at 8 p.m.) was the first of the big-screen Trekkie reunions but not the best.

Joan Rivers and Alex Rocco star in the new comedy-mystery How to Murder a Millionaire (CBS Wednesday at 9 p.m.) about a Beverly Hills wife who believes her husband wants to kill her.

Bloodhounds of Broadway (Channel 28 Wednesday at 9 p.m.) is a stylish, period-perfect, diverting but less-than-compelling amalgam of four Damon Runyon stories. The time is New Year’s Eve, 1928, and the stars are Madonna, Rutger Hauer, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Gray, Randy Quaid, Josef Sommer, Esai Morales, Julie Hagerty and Madeleine Potter.

Eleanor, First Lady of the World (Channel 5 Saturday at 8 p.m.) is a fine 1982 TV movie in which Jean Stapleton plays Eleanor Roosevelt in the years after F.D.R.’s death.
