SATURDAY

"Small Sacrifices" (2 p.m., THIStv): Farrah Fawcett stars in this true story about a mother who claimed her kids were killed in a carjacking. Wrongo.

"Ellen's Bigger, Longer and Wider Show" (8 p.m., TBS): Nick Cannon - Mariah Carey's husband, earning his keep - is the DJ for Ellen DeGeneres's variety show. With Kanye West and David Blaine performing. Not together.

"Groomer Has It" (8 p.m., Animal Planet): Who will be named Groomer of the Year? At last, we'll have our answer.

"Storytellers: ZZ Top" (9 p.m., VH1): This special was filmed at Chicago's Congress Theatre in March.

"Chasing Farrah" (8 p.m., TVLand): The first two episodes of the bizarre reality series tag along as Fawcett goes to the U.S. Open and has dinner with Ryan O'Neal.

SUNDAY

"Hostile Makeover" (7 p.m., Lifetime Movie): This is rapidly becoming my favorite channel. Another adaptation from the "Crimes of Fashion" book series by Ellen Byerrum, with fashion reporter Lacey investigates a runway show murder.

"Prehistoric New York" (8 p.m., Discovery): Find out what kinds of animals were roaming New York City before taxi drivers took over.

"Comedy You Can Believe in With David Alan Grier" (9 p.m., TBS): Like Martin Short's recent special, this was shot at Chicago's Vic Theater.

We were watching Small Sacrifices on THIStv in Iowa and suddenly around 6PM "Lost" came on...The "Small Sacrifices" movie was not over yet...Very disappointed is THIStv network's ability to broadcast in a professional manor....This was the story staring Farrah Fawcett as Diane Downs....We were very upset that this was not shown to it's entirety today on THIStv, Saturday, June 27th, 2009...It started at 2pm....Thank you....
