What to Watch on Saturday: Gerard Butler hosts "Saturday Night Live"

Sorority Wars (9pm, Lifetime) - A young woman follows in her mom's footsteps and pledges the Delta sorority, but disapproves of their devious ways and goes with their rival. Adrienne says it's drama, drama, drama. Courtney Thorne-Smith and Faith Ford star as moms of sorority girls played by Lucy Hale and Amanda Schull.

The Locator (9pm, We) - A Greensboro family looks for a little girl who lived with them in foster care for five years before the state took her away. The WeTV actually shows a two-hour block of "Locator" eps starting at 8pm, which is great if you're interested in catching up on shows from previous seasons.

Saturday Night Live (11:30, NBC) - Gerard Butler is tonight's host, and Shakira is the musical guest. (Taylor Swift is hosting on November 7, not tonight -- so sorry for the mix-up).

Lifetime's "Sorority Wars": Mean girls and their mothers

When I saw the promotional materials for "Sorority Wars" (Lifetime, 9 tonight), with all its pinkness, and its stars, white-bread blondes Courtney Thorne-Smith and Faith Ford, I figured it was a comedy, maybe a little 'Mean Girls' but broader, more sitcom-like.

Well, there are mean girls, but "Sorority Wars" isn't a comedy. Instead it goes the full Lifetime route: there's empowerment, mother-daughter relationships, friendships, and getting the cute guy.
