Saturday night is going to be a tough one: R.E.M. making their debut on “Austin City Limits” or those wacky hipsters Gnarls Barkley on “SNL.” Good thing someone invented DVR.

And don’t look at Monday and Tuesday night’s cavalcade of reruns as a bad thing; look at it as an opportunity to catch something you might have missed the first time, like The B-52’s, Lupe Fiasco or The Roots with Chrisette Michele.

See you next week and use sunscreen!
