Off the Wall: Doctor you-know-who is back

Off the Wall puts Peeps in the microwave.

TV HEARS A WHO That would be The Doctor, who's back Saturday night at 9 for his sixth 21st century season.

CHARLTON HESTON TALKS TO GOD And the Red Sea parts. And old-time moviemaker Cecil B. DeMille gets to have his sin and punish it, too. In other words, it's the annual Easter weekend airing of "The Ten Commandments" (Saturday 7-11:45 p.m., ABC/7). DeMille's 1956 extravaganza of biblical sin and salvation stars Heston as Moses, with Yul Brynner, Edward G. Robinson, Anne Baxter, Yvonne De Carlo, Vincent Price and half the rest of Hollywood.
