Don’t forget the time change (“spring ahead”) on Saturday night/Sunday morning.
Bah. Wonderfalls has been canceled. Here’s the first message from executive producer Tim Minear, and another. Minear comments more in between those messages in discussions with fans; as I type this folks are still chatting, of course.
Some good news: Jennifer Garner says Alias will be back for a fourth season (and she should know, I would hope).
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine marathon begins on Monday (Spike, 11am – 8pm Monday and the rest of the week; starting April 12th episodes will air each weeknight at 6pm).
TV DVDs due out on Tuesday: Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series, season 2 of Charlie’s Angels, season 7 of Friends, and season 1 of In Living Color. [More TV on DVD]
The Freaks and Geeks set is fabulous; I’ve seen the first disc of it and the episodes look great (of course), but there are multiple commentary tracks and other cool extra features. And of course the die-hard fan will want the limited edition set.
Green Acres marathon continues (TV Land, 5am Saturday – 5am Monday).
It looks like China Beach doesn’t air this Sunday morning at 5am like usual, but there will be an episode next Sunday.
Three Stooges marathon continues on AMC with Three Stooges movies (AMC, 5am – ).

Matthew Modine and Kristin Davis star in The Winning Season (TNT, 7pm, 9pm, 11pm). Based on a book by Dan Gutman (judging by the descriptions at amazon.com, the story in the movie has a number of differences from the book). Story is about a kid who plays for a little league team in 1983; then he finds a Honus Wagner baseball card (yes, *that* card) and is transported back to 1909 where he hangs out with Wagner (Modine) and others. It’s kindof a sweet time travel & baseball story with some romance and family stuff thrown in. Family friendly. Ty Cobb is the villain of the piece.
