Love, Lies and Murder (NBC Sunday at 9 p.m., concluding Monday at 9 p.m.) is a well-made, though leisurely paced, 1991 potboiler dramatizing the highly publicized Orange County case in which 14-year-old Cinnamon Brown (Moira Kelly) carried out the orders of her father (Clancy Brown) to shoot to death her stepmother, taking the sole rap while her father secretly married the victim’s sister Patti Bailey (Sheryl Lee).

In the 1989 Parents (KCOP Monday at 8 p.m.), Randy Quaid and Mary Beth Hurt make a perfect pair of all-American ‘50s gargoyles: the suburban mom and dad from hell. Unfortunately, as their distraught little son (Bryan Madorsky) watches the murderously sunny facade of his home life crumble into bloody madness, the movie crumbles as well, despite Quaid and Hurt’s best efforts.

Hairspray (KTTV Tuesday at 8 p.m.), John Waters’ deliriously fast and funny 1988 satire of the ‘60s combines nostalgic spoof with a social consciousness that’s as unexpected as it is smashingly effective. Ricki Lake stars.

Red Heat (CBS Tuesday at 9 p.m.), Walter Hill’s above-average 1988 Soviet-fish-in-American-water cop thriller, teams Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Russian Dirty Harry with--or rather against--wisecracking Chicago cop Jim Belushi.

Michael Apted’s well-made but thin 1984 Firstborn (KCOP Friday at 8 p.m.) finds Teri Garr’s vulnerable, financially secure divorcee falling for an all-to-obviously dangerous loser.

The four-hour, two-part 1988 TV movie Internal Affairs (CBS Friday at 9 p.m., concluding Saturday at 8 p.m.) is one of those involving, old-fashioned police mysteries that keeps you on edge with its good cops-bad cops puzzle. Richard Crenna stars as Frank Janek II, the talented New York police detective, a role he created in the 1985 “Doubletake.”

Skin Game (KCOP Saturday at 6 p.m.) is an unlikely and exceptional 1971 comedy about two con men (James Garner and Louis Gossett Jr.) posing as master and slave in the South, circa 1857. The remarkable script by Pierre Marton manages to be great fun while laying bare the evils of slavery.

In the 1985 My Beautiful Laundrette (KCET Saturday at 11 p.m.), director Stephen Frears has given writer Hanif Kureishi’s coolly audacious script vitality, directness and astonishing reverberations, casting the film marvelously. Ingeniously, Kureishi mixes race, caste, class, sexuality, politics and the long shadow of the Empire into an irresistible, satirical contemporary romance. With Gordon Warnecke, Daniel Day-Lewis, Saeed Jaffrey, Roshan Seth and Shirley Anne Field.
