Off the Wall: It's marathon season

Off the Wall feels the heat.

HOT MARATHONS Sink your teeth into the first three seasons of "True Blood" (10 a.m. Saturday-9 p.m. Sunday, HBOZone) before HBO's Season 4 starts June 26. Revisit the entire run of AMC's new hit "The Killing" (Saturday and Sunday 4-10 p.m., each day, Sundance) before the first season finale Sunday night at 10 on AMC. Gonzo graphics and sound effects satirize the news on "Onion News Network" (Sunday 12:45-4:15 p.m., IFC). Watch online at ifc.com/onn.

FAVES FROM ONE SHOW, ON ANOTHER SHOW Eric Mabius of "Ugly Betty" and Jamie Bamber of "Battlestar Galactica" join forces in the new intergalactic frontier saga, "Outcasts" (Saturday night at 9, BBC America). "Spin City"/ "Family Ties" star Michael J. Fox brightens a weekend repeat of "The Good Wife" (Sunday at 10 p.m., CBS/2). And L.I.-born magic mind-freaker Criss Angel guests on "Rules of Engagement" (Thursday at 8:30 p.m., CBS/2).

FATHER'S DAY "Heroes" star Jack Coleman appears in the new TV movie "Rock the House" (Saturday night at 9, Hallmark) as a dad getting down with his music dreams. Or flash back to the quintessential TV dad portrait "The Cosby Show" (Saturday noon-midnight, Sunday 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Centric), with a marathon of its first season from 1984-85. Other shows dad might like: the animation of "G.I. Joe" (Sunday 1-8 p.m., Hub) and "Futurama" (Sunday 5-11 p.m., Comedy Central), the reality of "Deadliest Catch" (Sunday 4 p.m.-3 a.m., Discovery), the comedy of "The Wayans Bros." (Sunday 6-10 p.m., MTV2).

AWARDS ALERT This could be the last year these honors matter so much -- "The 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" (Sunday 8-10 p.m., CBS/2), with Wayne Brady hosting the handout of trophies for the dwindling number of daytime dramas (aka soaps), as well as talkfests, game shows and more. Morgan Freeman gets the 39th "AFI Life Achievement Award" (Sunday 9-10:30 p.m., TV Land), with salutes from an all-star guest roster including Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington and Helen Mirren. Controversy-courting Lady Gaga is the big attraction at this year's "MuchMusic Video Awards" (Sunday 9-11 p.m., fuse), live from Toronto.

SCRIPTED PREMIERES Noah Wyle stars in the alien-invasion fantasy drama "Falling Skies" (Sunday 9-11 p.m., TNT). A lawyer and his wacky not-lawyer assistant solve cases in "Suits" (Thursday at 10 p.m., USA), with Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams. And Elijah Wood finds himself forming a strange friendship with Jason Gann's talking dog in a furry mansize suit in the offbeat comedy "Wilfred" (Thursday at 10 p.m., FX).

UNSCRIPTED PREMIERES "Ryan & Tatum: The O'Neals" (Sunday at 10 p.m., OWN) follows the dad-daughter actors trying to rebuild their relationship. "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" (weeknights at 8, Current) relaunches on a new network.

And there's another double dose of quirky comedy from IFC -- "Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings" (Friday at 10 p.m., IFC), following filmmakers who cruise the country making local ads for local businesses, and "Young, Broke & Beautiful" (Friday at 11 p.m., IFC), celebrating cheap, weird and strange places glossed over in travel guides.
