Off the Wall: Talking trash, in a good way

Off the Wall loves all kinds of trash TV.

RECYCLED TV We're not talking the usual copycat concepts, familiar plots and washed-up stars here.

"Garbage Moguls" (Saturday, pilot at 7 p.m., new episodes 8-11 p.m., NatGeo) explores a more creative kind of recycling, where smart folks at New Jersey's TerraCycle turn trash like juice packets, dog food bags and old CDs into chic handbags, pet clothes and, ironically, garbage cans. Preview at natgeotv.com/ episode/garbage-moguls-4314.

EUREKA! A MOVIE Colin Ferguson of "Eureka" headlines the new "Lake Placid 3" (Saturday at 9 p.m., Syfy), playing an upstate game warden confronted with giant crocodiles (naturally). Yancy Butler and Michael Ironside co-star in yet another Syfy cheesefest. Arrive early for John Schneider and Cloris Leachman in "Lake Placid 2" at 7 p.m. More at syfy.com/movies.

ROCK AROUND THE WORLD. Peter Gabriel performs for music students on the premiere of "Guitar Center Sessions" (Saturday at 9 p.m., DirecTV's The 101). Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, Carly Simon and Randy Newman are among those interviewed in "All You Need Is Klaus" (Sunday at 8 p.m., Smithsonian), profiling rock bassist Klaus Voorman, who lived with The Beatles, created their "Revolver" cover, played with Manfred Mann and otherwise covered the classic rock landscape. "Michael Jackson: Not for Sale" (Sunday at 8 p.m., Ovation) reveals how the singer prepared to auction much of his private collection and belongings before his death.

BLAXPLOITATION DRIVE-IN Ah, those Afro-fied '70s. Relive the funk riffs and revenge chopsocky in this week's MGM HD drive-in triple feature. Isaac Hayes stars in "Truck Turner" (Saturday at 10 p.m.), with Pam Grier topping "Coffy" (midnight) and William Marshall as "Blacula" (1:50 a.m., all on MGM HD).

REALITY PREMIERES From dolphins to Hollywood publicists to the Buttafuocos, this week's debuts are all over the map.

DON'T BE LIKE MIKE. What was the world's greatest basketball player thinking in 1993, when Michael Jordan left the NBA to play minor league baseball? In "Jordan Rides the Bus" (Tuesday at 8 p.m., ESPN), that quixotic odyssey is chronicled by Ron Shelton, who wrote and directed "Bull Durham" and "White Men Can't Jump." It's the latest documentary in ESPN's always fascinating "30 for 30" series celebrating the channel's three decades of cable sports. More at 30for30.espn.com.
