2) “Transplant,” 8 p.m., NBC. This Canadian drama is well-made, but drew little attention on Sundays. Now it moves to Saturdays for a fresh chance. At the core is Bash, who mastered do-it-yourself medical skills amid warfare in his native Syria. Now his job is on the line; he tries to avoid taking chances.

3) Sports. Now that the summer schedules are starting, Fox settles into Saturday-night baseball, with games at 7:15 p.m. ET. Also, Fox Sports1 has NASCAR and USFL football. And if needed, there are playoff games on ESPN (hockey) and on TNT (basketball).

4) “”The Rookie,” 10 p.m., ABC. This wraps up a two-night rerun of the story that introduced Niecey Nash as an FBI trainee, suddenly helping the Los Angeles police stop a bomber. Earlier this month, both episodes drew strong ratings; ABC promptly gave one of its better slots (10 p.m. Tuesdays) next fall to a spin-off starring Nash.

5) “From Here to Eternity” (1953), 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies. It’s a military marathon, continuing through Memorial Day (Monday) and finally wrapping at 8:30 a.m. ET Tuesday. That’s led by this film – a deep drama set among Pearl Harbor soldiers. It won eight Oscars, including best picture, director (Fred Zinneman) and supporting actors (Frank Sinatra and Donna Reed) Each of its three lead actors – Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr and the superb Montgomery Clift – was nominated.
