The Rudd Report

Paul Rudd's ability to play the sympathetic sap is well on display in both 2010's "Dinner With Schmucks" (5:28 p.m. Saturday, Comedy), featuring an over-the-top Steve Carell, and 2009's "I Love You, Man" (8 p.m. Saturday, Comedy) featuring an over-the-top Jason Segel.

Forever in blue jeans

There comes a point when sharing clothes with your pals gets kind of yucky, but Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn aren't quite there yet in "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (6 p.m. Saturday, ABC Family) and "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" (8:30 p.m. Saturday, ABC Family).

Hitting the showers

Prepare for Monday's debut of the new A&E series "Bates Motel," by watching the 1960 original "Psycho" (9:15 p.m. Sunday, Retro), Alfred Hitchcock's scare-fest that was so accomplished, it kept star Anthony Perkins from ever succeeding in anything again, other than playing creepy guys next door.
