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

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

SATURDAY

"Imagination Movers" (9 a.m., Disney): The New Orleans-based, jumpsuit-wearing quartet are back for a second season. Here's hoping that Uncle Knit-knots creates a rage for beige.

"Band of Brothers" (6 p.m., Spike): Watch David Schwimmer, Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston and Donnie Wahlberg in a marathon of the miniseries brought to you by HBO, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

"Van Wilder: Freshman Year" (10 p.m., Comedy Central): Original stars Ryan Reynolds and Kal Penn have gone on to bigger and better things (Scarlett Johansson and the Obama administration, respectively), but the franchise has not. Preceded by airings of "Van Wilder" and "Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj."

"At the Movies" (11 p.m., WLS-Channel 7): The Bens have been sent packing. New hosts A.O. Scott (New York Times) and Michael Phillips (Chicago Tribune) take a stab at it.

SUNDAY

"True Blood" (8 p.m., HBO): There's no new "True Blood," "Hung" or "Entourage" episodes this weekend, but you can catch up on the carnage with a triple-rerun dose of vampire drama.

"Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" (8 p.m., SyFy): Lorenzo Lamas and Debbie Gibson are together at last in this tale of the battle for supremacy of the sea.

"My Antonio" (9 p.m., VH1): The ladies learn to hula and create dance routine that tells a heartfelt story to win the attention of Antonio. Again, we are talking about Sabato Jr., not Banderas.

"The Jerry Lewis Telethon" (10 p.m., WGN-Channel 9): It runs until 7 p.m. Monday, with a break for the Cubs game - of course - at 11:30 a.m. Monday.
