The drama and emotions in Celebrity Apprentice (Global, 8 p.m.) are about as bogus as they come, even by reality TV’s shoddy standards. But as The Donald keeps reminding us in the two-hour opener of the show’s fifth season (which first aired Sunday on NBC), it’s all being done for good causes, with money being raised for participants’ chosen charities.
For Saturday’s project leaders, American Chopper co-founder Paul Teutul Sr. and Venezuelan actress and model Patricia Velasquez, that’s the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Wayuu Taya Foundation for indigenous children in Latin America, respectively.
Saturday Night Live (Global, NBC, 11:30 p.m.) is a rerun with host Charlie Day, of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fame and infamy, and musical guest Maroon 5.
The don’t-try-this-at-home series Wipeout (ABC, 8 p.m.) presents a winter edition called A Sight for Sore Ice – go ahead, boo – in which family pairings take on such obstacles as the Cold-Hearted Snake and a thingamajig called the Pain in the Ice.
Reruns from the second season of The Borgias (CTV, 10 p.m.) continue with an outing in which Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger) gives birth in a convent and the family Borgia seeks annulment of her marriage.
Sunday
The Oscars (CTV, ABC, 8:30 p.m.) were never really intended to be a TV event: The movies predate TV, after all. That’s what the ceremony has become, though. The Oscar presentation has evolved into one of the year’s most-watched, most-talked-about, highest-rated TV spectacles.
Johnny Depp steals the show in Life’s Too Short (HBO Canada, 10:30 p.m.), playing himself. Worth it just for the scene in which he tells Ricky Gervais how he’s going to get even for those Golden Globe gags.
The Amazing Race (CTV, 7 p.m.) isn’t about to stop for something as trivial as the Oscars. Reality TV’s most absorbing competition program finds the teams in Argentina, where they face a challenge at “the world’s largest cattle market.”
The Simpsons (Global, Fox, 8 p.m.) counters the Oscars with a repeat of last fall’s Treehouse of Horror Halloween show, which includes riffs on 127 Hours, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Dial M for Murder and Avatar.
