We're watching TV. You're watching TV. Let's get on the same channel.

SATURDAY

"Maneater" (8 p.m., Lifetime): Sarah Chalke ("Scrubs," "How I Met Your Mother") plays a perky gold-digger. Is that a bad thing? Based on the Gigi Levangie novel.

"Pushing Daisies" (9 p.m., WLS-Channel 7): The series has been canceled, but at least we get to watch the remaining episodes to fulfill our whimsy quota.

SUNDAY

"The Talk" (7:30 a.m., WMAQ-Channel 5): Marion Brooks's new show revisits the big stories of the week. Will Jon and Kate make the cut?

"This Is Our Moment: Election Night 2008" (5:30 p.m., WTTW-Channel 11): The Sun-Times's Richard Roeper, Carol Marin and Mary Mitchell narrate. Expect to cry.

"The Hills" (7 p.m., MTV): Season finale. "Laguna Beach" bitch Kristin Cavallari joins the cast to stir things up. Has she dated Justin Bobby yet?

"MTV Movie Awards" (8 p.m., MTV): Andy Samberg, who's hosting, will start the show with a digital short co-starring Will Ferrell. Since Will can't rap or sing, expect something tasteless.

"Jesse James Is a Dead Man" (9 p.m., Spike): Sandra Bullock's sweetie rides a Pro-Stock dragster, takes a flight in a D-16, and then sets himself on fire. And to think he could have had a quiet desk job as The Apprentice.

"Breaking Bad" (9 p.m., AMC): Season finale. Some say it's the best show on TV, and this season's best (and most painful) finale. Yes, even counting "The Hills."

"Aqua Teen Hunger Force" (10:45 p.m., Cartoon): It's a live-action episode of the animated series with rapper T-Pain playing Frylock, who looks like a floating box of French fries.
