What to Watch on Saturday: Daytime Emmys, albino spiders and a 'Tall Hot Blonde'

Daytime Emmy Awards (8pm, Headline News) - The awards show celebrating soaps, daytime talk and children's programs. "The View" executive producer Bill Geddie is presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award by Barbara Walters.

Tall Hot Blonde (8pm, Lifetime) - In this new Lifetime movie, a middle-aged father (Garret Dillahunt, "Raising Hope" "Deadwood") poses as a young single marine and begins an online relationship with an 18-year-old girl that leads to the murder of an innocent man. It stars Laura San Giacomo ("Just Shoot Me") as his wife. Courtney Cox ("Friends" "Cougar Town") directs. Check out Adrienne's review.

Arachnoquake (9pm, Syfy) - It pains me even to write this: A movie in which an earthquake unleashes monstrous albino spiders on New Orleans. It stars Tracey Gold ("Growing Pains"), Edward Furlong ("Terminator 2") and appropriately, someone named Bug Hall ("The Little Rascals"). You know it's going to be excellent because it has the same director as the classic Syfy movie "Swamp Shark" (Griff Furst).

Tanked: Unfiltered (9pm, Animal Planet) - An enhanced episode featuring commentary from the crew on a shark tank in an orthodontist office, and a display tank in an appliance store.

The Firm (10pm, NBC) - Chapter Nineteen will allegedly air tonight. Same episode that was supposed to air last weekend but did not: Tonight, Abby has an epiphany as she tries to save her mother's charity from a crooked accountant.

What to Watch on Tuesday: Katy Perry heads a night of sitcom guest stars

I Hate My Teenage Daughter (8:30pm, Fox) - I thought this got canceled, but I guess it was just resting because it's back after a break. Tonight, Annie (Jaime Pressly) tries to set a good example for her slack daughter by returning to school at a local community college. A much better bet at 8:30 would be ...

Cougar Town (8:30pm, ABC) - Bobby falls for Travis' photographer professor (Sarah Chalke, "Scrubs") and Laurie begins a romance via Twitter with a soldier in Iraq. This episode was directed by Courtney Cox.

Jane By Design (9pm, ABC Family) - In the first season finale, Jane prepares for Fashion Week but she may have to bail on her coworkers since Ben knows about her secret.
