Running on ice

"Hockey Moms," a limited breed, but one that will never make the endangered list, is featured in a locally grown docuseries that follows four parents with different approaches to being a booster. The final episode will air in March, right before the Boys' State AA High School Hockey Championship. 6:30 p.m. Saturday, KSTC, Ch. 45

Taking another bow

The send-off of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" got about as much attention as a fender bender in Uptown, but at least CBS is giving us another chance to say goodbye with a repeat of the two-hour finale with a surprisingly sentimental Gus Grissom. 8 p.m. Sunday, WCCO, Ch. 4

Hangover hymns

"Austin City Limits" digs deep into Santa's bag of holiday leftovers for a 1978 gem starring Tom Waits, who croaks out classics like "Romeo Is Bleeding," "Burma Shave" and "A Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis." The Ghost of Christmas Past has never been more welcome. 10 p.m. Sunday, TPT Life
