Tonight’s “Saturday Night Live” (NBC, 11:30 p.m.) is about as old a rerun as they could give you — a replay of the first show from October 1975 (which means the show’s 40th anniversary should rightfully be celebrated this fall; not tomorrow night). George Carlin gave a long monologue and then returned and did another monologue, the killer bees were there, and there were two musical guests, Billy Preston and Janis Ian. Also, Andy Kaufman did his pantomime to “Mighty Mouse.” The 10 p.m. “SNL” special is a compilation of Valentine’s Day skits.
On a week when she made clear she was leaving “The View” for a second time, she’s also got her first comedy special in a while, in a mall in Nyack, N.Y. “Rosie O’Donnell: A Heartfelt Stand Up” (HBO, 10 p.m.) spends a lot of time embarrassing her teenagers one by one before addressing her recent heart attack, the kind of malady that has served up material for many comics before her from Richard Pryor or Robin Williams, but for her turns into a full fledged public service announcement that might actually help people (The emphasis on the heart material is the only flimsy connection to Valentine’s Day but what are you going to do).
Do you think there’s not going to be an original cable romantic movie on Valentine’s Day? Lacey Chabert stars in “About All of My Heart” (Hallmark, 8 p.m.) about a woman who moves to the country to run a country home but has to run it with a Wall Street dude (Brennan Elliot) that she initially hates. What do you think will happen? Ed Asner is also featured.
Scot Wolf stars in “Meet My Valentine” (ION, 8 p.m.) about a dying man who auditions potential new partners for his wife, Valentine (Courtney Ford).
Kimberly Elise stars as a musician goes back to school at 41 in “Back to School Mom” (Lifetime, 8 p.m.) only to find her peer tutor is the son she gave up for adoption 20 years earlier. Basketball’s Rick Fox co-stars in a cast that also includes Loretta Devine, Garcelle Beauvais and Harry Lennix.
“The Neighborhood Sessions with Jennifer Lopez” (TNT, 11 p.m.), a new show about celebrities going home to their old stomping grounds, misses the boat by not naming it “Jenny from the Block.”
On the new “Sexy Beasts” (A&E, 10 p.m.), singles are made up as monsters before they go on their blind dates. It’s based on a British dating show. They run a couple of episodes in a row.
NASCAR is back in primetime with the Sprint Unlimited (Fox, 8 p.m.).
Athos is kidnapped on “The Musketeers” (BBC America, 9 p.m.).
Flint lays down the law to Vane on “Black Sails” (Starz, 9 p.m.).
In the new series “True Supernatural” (Destination America, 10 p.m.), they use scientific evidence to find out whether things like the chupacabra or kraken exists (hint: they don’t).
Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Julian Assange in 2013’s “The Fifth Estate” (Showtime, 9 p.m.). Kevin Hart and Ice T star in “Ride Along” (Cinemax, 10 p.m.).
Turner Classic Movies plays Oscar favorites of the mid-1950s with “The Red Balloon” (8 p.m.), “The Harder They Fall” (8:45 p.m.), “The Caine Mutiny” (10:45 p.m.), “Marty” (1 a.m.), “Blackboard Jungle” (2:45 a.m.) and “The Man with the Golden Arm” (4:45 a.m.). But at this rate, they’ll never get caught up by the Oscars next Sunday.
