Tradition!

Away above your head, you'll see the strangest sight: 1971's "Fiddler on the Roof" (9 p.m. Saturday, TPT, Ch. 2). Join Tevye and the whole Russian gang as they tackle some of most heartbreaking songs in the Broadway songbook.

Old friends

Fans of "Will & Grace" (1 p.m. Sunday, WE) are about to get a lot more than "Just Jack." Enjoy a 15-hour marathon before the sitcom slips into its regular 4 p.m. time slot on weekdays. Reruns will also air in a two-hour block on Logo TV every weekday at 4 p.m., starting Monday.

Cleaning up

"Devious Maids" (9 p.m. Sunday, Lifetime) closes its rookie season with the revelations behind Flora's death. Now if only someone could solve the mystery of why the only major show with Latina leads has them playing "the help." TV needs to do better.
