Blasts from the past In the '80s, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany battled rabid teenagers in mall parking lots. Now the pair are taking on some different kinds of monsters. "Mega Python Vs. Gataroid" (8 p.m. Sat., Syfy) finds the duo going to war with mutant snakes -- when they're not fighting with each other. Yes, producers are promising an all-out cat fight, which we hope will climax with a rousing duet of "Shake Your Love."
Thick as a brick Forest Whitaker makes up for his involvement in the substandard "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior," by returning as executive producer for the second season of "Brick City" (7 p.m. Sun., Sundance), the outstanding reality series that looks at Newark's attempts to better itself. Anyone who thinks this is just a powder-puff project to boost the image of Mayor Cory Booker hasn't really been paying any attention.
The White stuff Jennifer Love Hewitt plays a TV reporter who tries to help a World War II widow played by Betty White in "The Lost Valentine" (8 p.m. Sun., WCCO, Ch. 4). That's followed later this week by White in "CSI: Retirement Center," "The CBS Evening News With Betty White" and "Oh, Betty!," a new late-night talk show in which White interviews herself.
Private moments "West Wing" First Lady Stockard Channing shifts back into White House mode to narrate the intimate but not terribly revealing new special "Kennedys' Home Movies" (8 p.m. Sun., TLC). The behind-the-scenes footage only manages to add to the Camelot legend. In other words, don't expect a sex tape with Marilyn Monroe.
