IF YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EM Monica Lewinsky faces tough competition on Wednesday night, and we don't mean Barbara Walters. Airing opposite her interview on 20/20 will be material with an oddly similar ring to it. These are all real plotlines. No details have been fabricated. And none have been subject to Kenneth Starr's approval.

CBS, Touched by an Angel (1) An angel named Monica touches a wayward soul

Fox, Party of Five (2) Lots of arguing after a bad relationship goes public

HBO, Tracey Takes On...Hype (3) Linda appears on a talk show to bad-mouth a friend

MAX, Mousehunt A small creature brings chaos to an entire house

MTV, Fanatic An obsessive fan meets and fawns over her favorite celebrity

NBC, World's Most Amazing Videos (4) People who did crazy things captured on tape tell their stories

UPN, Star Trek: Voyager Marriage under strain and the whole darn ship falls apart

WB, Charmed (5) A young brunette casts a spell with unintended consequences
