•Those who've wanted more of Fox's America's Most Wanted (Saturday, 8 p.m. ET/PT) are about to get part of their wish. The series isn't back for good, but it does drop in Saturday for a special focused on folks who've committed "crimes of passion."

•What would you expect to find on Syfy Saturday?

Considering there's a big-screen version of Mysterious Island in theaters, surely you could have guessed Syfy would ride its promo coattails with Jules Verne's Mysterious Island (Saturday, 9 ET/PT).

You almost have to admire Syfy for its brazenness, but odds are still good the '61 version is better than both of them.

•Despite the glut of televised honors, there's still room for The Grammys (CBS, Sunday, 8 p.m. ET/PT), the most prestigious musical award and usually one of the more entertaining award shows.

Tony Bennett, Adele, Blake Shelton, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen are among those scheduled to perform.

•Sick of award shows? AMC's frightfully good The Walking Dead (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET/PT) finishes its season with a six-episode run. Life is not happy down on the farm.
