Walking on water
Nik Wallenda's attempt to tightrope across Niagara Falls will be telecast during "Megastunts -- Highwire Over Niagara Falls -- Live!" (8 p.m. Friday, KSTP, Ch. 5). The event will be preceded by "Countdown to Niagara: The Greatest Megastunts of All Time" (7 p.m. Friday, KSTP, Ch. 5), which will almost certainly include Arthur Fonzarelli's attempt to jump a shark.

It's been 30 years since Brooke Shields and Chris Atkins found themselves stranded on an island with few forms of communications and even fewer clothes. Time for a new generation to follow suit.

Shake 'n' bake
Ex-"Superman" Dean Cain and former "Vampire Slayer" Kristy Swanson team up for "Operation Cupcake" (7 p.m. Sunday, Hallmark), a movie in which the couple try to run a bakery. In other words, instead of fighting crime, they're fighting high sugar intake.

The aliens have come out of hibernation, which means it's time for a second season of "Falling Skies" (8 p.m. Sunday, TNT), the action-packed series in which "ER"'s Noah Wyle, pictured, discovers that forces from outer space are even scarier than a raging Peter Benton.
