I was a latecomer to "Sons of Anarchy," only initiated into the SAMCRO world this summer during a three-week marathon binge (four seasons in less than three weeks - woot!). This summer's foray wasn't the first time I tried to get into the gun-running biker gang drama, but this time it took, and I'm a happier TV watcher for it. 

Like all other "Sons of Anarchy" fans, I'm really excited about Season 5, which starts tonight at 10 on FX. My dream, if creator Kurt Sutter is listening, is that evil bastard Clay (Ron Perlman) finally get what he deserves.

Okay, on to business. . . .

Outlaw (8pm, NBC) - NBC was supposed to show this doomed Jimmy Smits drama last Saturday at 8pm, but locally, it aired at 3:30am instead. What's up with that, NBC-17? If things go as they should tonight, you can see Garza and his crew take on the case of an orphan who is denied an organ transplant. Elizabeth Pena guest stars.

Runaway (8pm, BET, MTV) - Kanye West debuts his 35-minute "Runaway" short film, about a Phoenix-like character who falls to earth and is rescued by Kanye. According to Spin magazine, the film has fireballs, sports cars, sheep, a Michael Jackson statue, a Scottish marching band, and Nicki Minaj narrating in a British accent. It also features nine different songs, including a track by the band Bon Iver.  Selita Eubanks stars.

Growing the Big One (9pm, Hallmark) - A new Hallmark movie starring Shannen Doherty as a Seattle DJ who leaves the city behind to tend to her recently deceased grandfather's farm, which he was in danger of losing to the bank. In order to pay off his debt and save the farm, she decides to enter a local pumpkin-growing contest. She teams up with a neighbor (Kavan Smith) to grow the pumpkin, but wouldn't you know it, love blooms as well.

Pit Boss (10pm, Animal Planet) - In the second season finale, Shorty is hurt during a dog rescue. Also, Ronald and Shorty argue over Ronald's shifting priorities, and Seb's relationship issues escalate.

Saturday Night Live (11:30pm, NBC) - Emma Stone is the host and the musical guest is Kings of Leon.

Outlaw (8pm, NBC) - NBC has banished Jimmy Smits to Saturday nights to finish out the last four "Outlaw" episodes. I still think here are NBC shows more deserving of getting canned ("The Chase"). Tonight, Garza puts personal differences aside when the daughter of his nemesis, Senator Sidney Vidalin, is charged with a murder that was committed by her boyfriend.

Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster (8pm, Toon) - This is a live-action update of the classic cartoon and directed by Brian Levant. Daphne (Kate Melton) secures summer jobs for the Mystery Inc gang at her uncle's country club, but it's not long before the group notices unusual occurrences by the lake.

Halloween Block Party 2010 (8pm, HGTV) - A team of designers help homeowners create spooky Halloween decorations for their homes and offer tips for entertaining ideas. Included: a vampire lair and a creepy carnival.

Kill Theory (9pm, Syfy) - Ryanne Duzich stars in this horror film about seven college students who become unwilling participants in a sadistic game that requires them to kill each other or else everyone ends up dead. As the reality of their grim situation slowly sinks in, relationships between the old friends start to buckle under the weight of their fear.

Saturday Night Live (11:30pm, NBC) - Four weeks in and repeating already. Tonight is the season opener again with Amy Poehler and Katy Perry.

Austin City Limits (12midnight, UNC-TV) - Singer-songwriter Patty Griffin performs original and classic gospel songs with help from Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, and Mike Farris.
