SUNDAY
What if a classic science-fiction scenario became fact? That possibility is imagined in the special âWhen Aliens Attack.â And itâs all sci-fi farce when âFamily Guyâ completes its spoofing of the original âStar Warsâ trilogy with a send-up of âReturn of the Jedi.â (National Geographic, 5 and 8 p.m.; Fox, 9 p.m.)
Tom Selleck and his manly mustache star in the made-for-TV thriller âJesse Stone: Innocents Lost,â while Donald Trump and his crazy comb-over pick a winner on the season finale of âThe Celebrity Apprentice.â (CBS, 9 p.m.; NBC, 9 p.m.)
MONDAY
Follow the money â tons of taxpayersâ money â when events surrounding the multibillion-dollar Wall Street bailout are revisited in the docudrama âToo Big to Fail.â With Paul Giamatti, above, as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. (HBO, 9 p.m.)
TUESDAY
Itâs a fat-to-fit fight to the finish, and famous feet are feted, on the respective season finales of âThe Biggest Loserâ and âDancing With the Stars.â And golly gee, itâs the sophomore-season finale of âGlee.â (NBC, 8 p.m.; ABC, 9 p.m.; Fox, 9 p.m.)
WEDNESDAY
Whichever singer claims the title on the season finale of âAmerican Idolâ â sadly, it wonât be Pia Toscano â the real winners might just be Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, who acquitted themselves nicely in their first term at the judgesâ table. (Fox, 8 p.m.)
THURSDAY
Control-alt-delete is not an option: The potential consequences of hacker attacks and computer viruses upon our nationâs banks, utilities and other infrastructure are considered in the special âCode Wars: Americaâs Cyber Threat.â (6, 7, 9 and 10 p.m. CNBC)
FRIDAY
Look up the word âbroodingâ in the dictionary, and youâll see a picture of Robert Pattinson. The âTwilightâ star deploys his signature expression in the decidedly non-vampiric 2010 melodrama âRemember Me.â With Pierce Brosnan. (Showtime, 9 p.m.)
SATURDAY
Turning an âSNLâ sketch into a feature film is often a sketchy proposition; for every âWayneâs Worldâ or âBlues Brothers,â thereâs a âConeheadsâ or âBlues Brothers 2000.â And then thereâs 2010âs âMacGruber,â with Will Forte, below. (Cinemax, 10 p.m.)
