SATURDAY

"Temple Grandin" (7 p.m., HBO): Claire Danes tries for an Emmy with this three-star portrayal of an autistic woman who so identified with cattle that she became a leading authority on how to treat them humanely. Inventive graphics give you an idea of how her brain works; she connects pictures in her head. Julia Ormond is excellent as Temple's mother, who refused to have her institutionalized.

"Zapped!" (9 p.m., WCIU-Channel 26): Revisit the Scott Baio classic, in which he uses his telekinetic powers to make girls' sweaters burst open. Svengoolie promises to parody a Harry Belafonte song - because "Baio," of course, rhymes with "Day-O!"

"Saturday Night Live" (10:30 p.m., WMAQ-Channel 5): Ashton Kutcher hosts, with musical guests Them Crooked Vultures.

SUNDAY

"The Toilet Bowl" (6 a.m. on HGTV): The third annual marathon of home-improvement shows.

"Law & Order: SVU" marathon (10 a.m. on USA): Until 10 p.m.

"Super Bowl XLIV" (5:25 p.m. on WBBM-Channel 2): Don't forget to watch! The Who plays halftime.

"Undercover Boss" (9 p.m., WBBM-Channel 2): A three-and-a-half-star reality show in which the head of Waste Management goes undercover to see what it's like to work the lowliest jobs in his company - including cleaning out the Porta Potties at a carnival grounds.

"Puppy Bowl VI" (2 p.m., Animal Planet): Try to resist adopting a critter after you watch puppies cavort with bunnies cheering them on. The halftime show is put on by kittens. If you miss it the first time, don't worry; it repeats endlessly.
