Raise your glass

I'm a little too old to be spotted at a Pink concert, which is why I'm delighted to have the privacy of my own house to watch her "The Truth About Love Tour" (7 p.m. Saturday, Epix) with high-energy performances of "Just Give Me a Reason," "So What" and "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."

Music of the night

The last time Paul Rudd hosted "Saturday Night Live" (10:29 p.m. Saturday, KARE, Ch. 11), Paul McCartney was the musical guest. This time, it's One Direction. Not quite the same thing, is it? At least we can expect the obligatory visit from Ron Burgundy, who will hopefully play "Yesterday" on his flute.

Back on the trail

The new version of "Bonnie & Clyde" (8 p.m. Sunday, Lifetime, History and A&E) is apparently so epic that it has to be simulcast on three cable channels. You would think that at least one of those channels would choose to air the 1967 version for those of us who don't believe you need to mess with near perfection.
