Off the Wall: 24 hours of 'Nash Bridges' on Sleuth

Off the Wall likes "warped" and "Waltons" equally.

SORRY ABOUT SHATNER OVERSIGHT How embarrassed am I that I overlooked letting you know about last weekend's "T.J. Hooker" marathon? Today's Old School Saturday title is not quite so retro-rific: Don Johnson's "Nash Bridges" (Saturday 6 a.m.-Sunday 6 a.m., Sleuth). But they've got "MacGyver" on Oct. 23 and "Twin Peaks" on Oct. 30. Keep tabs at sleuthchannel.com/app/ Schedule/index.php.

FAMILY VALUES Talk about disparate definitions - separate showcases for one of the tube's most classically traditional families and one of its most state-of-the-art warped. The latter would be in "Weeds" (Sunday-Friday

9 p.m.-2 a.m., TV Guide Network), now syndicated off Showtime, with the adventures of Mary-Louise Parker's dope-dealing suburban mom. Upholding conventional values is 1970s TV's top-rated clan, portraying life in Depression times. "A Waltons Family Reunion" (Sunday at 7 p.m., Inspiration Network) brings together surviving cast members like Richard Thomas, Michael Learned and Ralph Waite. "The Waltons" (weekdays at 1 and 8 p.m., Inspiration) then begins its own encore run. (Inspiration Network is available on FiOs, DirecTV and Dish.) More at insp.com/ the-waltons.

CELEBREALITY PREMIERES It's not time for "Bret Michaels Collects Social Security" yet, but you know that's on the way. His latest docusoap, "Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It" (Monday at 10 p.m., VH1), peeps on the Poison front man's family doings. And "K-Ci and JoJo . . . Come Clean" (Tuesday at 9 and 9:30 p.m., TV One) checks in on the hip-hoppers' struggles with alcoholism. Preview at

HOLLYWOOD'S BIGGEST BOMB Allowing for its blockbuster budget and nearly five decades of inflation, this 1963 movie remains Tinseltown's most humongously epic flop: "Cleopatra" (Friday at 8 p.m., Fox Movie Channel), starring Elizabeth Taylor and hubby-to-be Richard Burton.
