Where is the love?

Hollywood thespians, those poor, poor creatures who never get enough attention, throw themselves a party called "The 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards." (No coincidence that "SAG" is awfully close to "SAD.") We already know one winner: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be presenting Carol Burnett the Lifetime Achievement Award. 7 p.m. Saturday, TBS, TNT

Power for the course

"American Ninja Warrior: USA Vs. the World," returning for its second time, takes place in Las Vegas, which is perfect since Ninjas are known to prefer the breakfast buffet at Caesar's Palace. 7 p.m. Sunday, KARE, Ch. 11

Faster than a speeding bullet

"The Venture Bros." may be Adult Swim's longest-running series, but its season premiere is packed with so much exposition and wild, wacky cameos — including the Avengers as neighborhood bullies trying to collect enforcement fees — that you'd think the animated show was about to be shipped to the Toon Land in the sky. 11 p.m. Sunday, Adult Swim
