Khloé & Lamar (E!; Sunday) — Series premiere. You know, it might be worth tuning in just to see what T-shirt Lamar’s going to wear. He’s obviously rocking the wolf in the banner picture.

Saturday Night Live (NBC) — Helen Mirren hosts. Mmmm, she’s like a sexy version of Judi Dench (previews here).
Human Planet (Discovery; Sunday) — Series premiere. Break out the narcotics and your HD television: the producers of “Planet Earth” and “Life” tackle the human race in this series (trailer here).
CMT’s Next Superstar (CMT; Friday) — Series premiere. Every time I feel like I’m a racist for not covering what’s on BET, I take a breath and remember that I pay even less attention to CMT.
