1) “Dawn,” 8 p.m. Lifetime, rerunning at 10. The grim tales of V.C. Andrews (the “Flowers in the Attic” author) are big on Lifetime. On consecutive Saturdays, four movies will tell of a sweet teen, encased in wealth and cruelty. Brec Bassinger (shown here with Jesse Metcalfe) is subtly excellent (as she was in “Stargirl”), but many characters are overwritten and/or overacted; Donna Mills is especially inept as a venomous matriarch.
2) “Greatest Geek Year Ever: 1982” debut, 8 p.m., CW. This title is no exaggeration: 1982 helped cement a trend that began seven years earlier: Top filmmakers were making fun movies for the masses. This opener views “ET,” a modest-budgeted tale, brilliantly crafted by Steven Spielberg. That year, he also produced “Poltergeist”; he didn’t direct it, but the movie had a slick, Spielberg-style precision.
3) “The Prank Panel,” 10 p.m., ABC. On Sunday, ABC will launch its summer game night, with this show plus “Celebrity Family Feud” and “$100,000 Pyramid.” To get us in the mood, here’s a rerun of the one “Prank” episode that has already aired. A wedding turns chaotic, with results that are mildly amusing; also, a repo man gets a taste of his own medicine.
4) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. Woody Harrelson once had a 22-year stretch without hosting “SNL.” Fortunately, that changed; this rerun (with Jack White as music guest) is his sixth hosting gig overall and his fourth in the past decade.
5) ALSO: Three of the big-four networks focus on sports tonight. It’s women’s golf on NBC (starting at 3 p.m. ET), baseball on Fox (7:15) and ultimate fighting on ABC (8). The exception is CBS; at 8 p.m., it has an “NCIS” rerun, with a new body found at an ancient burial site. Also, most of Bruce Willis’ “Die Hard” films are on cable. The first, third and fifth ones are at 5:50, 8:10 and 10:50 p.m. on FX Movies; the fourth is 8 p.m. on HBO.
