Honor thy father Kye Petersen, a 15-year-old extreme skier, takes on France's Aiguille du Midi, the mountain that claimed his father's life nine years earlier, in "The Edge of Never" (7 p.m. Friday, Showtime), a documentary that reminds us that sports is not always about winning or losing.
On the bored walk Those ignorant of the pop-culture phenomenon "Jersey Shore" can catch up with an entire first-season marathon (8 a.m. Sunday, MTV).
