1) “The Judd Family: Truth Be Told,” 8 p.m., Lifetime, also 10:03 p.m. and midnight. Here’s the start of a documentary (concluding Sunday) with a great story. Naomi Judd, a nurse and single mother, formed The Judds (shwon here) with her daughter Wynonna; they had 14 No. 1 country songs. It’s told by Wynonna and Ashley (a movie star), with clips of their late mom.
2) More country, Lifetime. The marathon starts with two Lifetime films, dramatizing the friendship of Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn (2019, 12:30 p.m.) and the romance of Johnny Cash and June Carter (2013, 2 p.m.). At 4, Reba McEntire plays a tough judge in the fun “The Hammer” (2023, 4 p.m.). At 6 p.m. is a two-hour “Biography”about Dolly Parton.
3) “I Am Johnny Cash,” 8-10 p.m., CW. This seems to be country-music day. After one Cash film this afternoon, viewers can catch this 2015 documentary at night … then see the rerun of the Judds film.
4) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. A week before the season-finale, here’s a new episode with Walton Goggins (“Justified,” “White Lotus”) taking his first turn as host. Arcade Fire has its sixth as music guest.
5) MORE: Ten days before its series-finale, “FBI: International” has a rerun (Tate’s first undercover job) at 8 p.m. on CBS. Also in primetime: basketball on ABC, baseball on Fox, and strong movies — “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” (2011) at 8 on Showtime and “The Manchurian Candidate” (1962), a black-and-white gem, at 8 ET on Turner Classic movies.
