Home for the holiday this Labor Day weekend? TV stacks up plenty of good stuff to help keep you inside.
No more Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon -- now it's just a two-hour Lewis-free Muscular Dystrophy Association fundraiser (Sunday 9-11 p.m., ABC/7). But there's a salute to the comic's 1960s movies, with 24 hours of Lewis titles like "Three on a Couch" and "The Big Mouth" (Monday 5 a.m.-Tuesday 5 a.m., Antenna).
New dramas take the opportunity to get us caught up on recent episodes. Among them: the costume portrait "The White Queen" (Saturday 9 p.m.-12:15 a.m., Starz; Monday noon-3:05 p.m., Starz Cinema) and David Tennant's murder-mystery nail-biter "Broadchurch" (Sunday 3-7 p.m., BBC America).
New channel! Younger-skewing shows will fuel FXX -- yup, two Xs (taking over the old Fox Soccer slot) -- which launches with a marathon of "Parks & Recreation" (Monday 7 a.m.- midnight).
"Survivorman" (Saturday 6 a.m.-7 p.m., Science); "Top Gear" USA (Saturday 7 a.m.-6 p.m., History) and "Top Gear" UK (Saturday 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday 5:30 p.m.-midnight, BBC America); Kelly Clarkson, Zooey Deschanel and more on "Who Do You Think You Are?" (Saturday 2-8 p.m., TLC); "The 50 Greatest Moments at Madison Square Garden" (Saturday 4-9 p.m., MSG); "How It's Made" (Sunday 9 a.m.-3 a.m., Science); "Snapped" (Sunday 10:30 a.m.-1 a.m., Oxygen); assorted "Real Housewives" (Sunday 2 p.m.- 3:15 a.m., Monday 7 a.m.-2 p.m. and 4-10 p.m., Bravo); "Pawn Stars" (Monday 8 a.m.-6 p.m., History).
