Persons Unknown (8pm, NBC) - Dread sweeps through the group when Joe falls seriously ill, and even though Erika has the antidote, she won't give it to him unless he confesses his secret.

Jack's Family Adventure (9pm, Hallmark) - A successful ad man (Jonathan Silverman, left) tries to reconnect with his family by taking them on a monthlong vacation to a rustic cabin he recently inherited.

Goblin (9pm, Syfy) - And now for a less family friendly offering... In this original Syfy movie, Halloween spawns a goblin that is determined to take a baby from an unsuspecting family, and it's up to their teenage daughter to save her baby brother from becoming the monster's meal.

What to Watch on Saturday: CBS debuts "The Bridge"

The Bridge (8pm, CBS) - The first episode of a new CBS series about a beat cop (Aaron Douglas) who is fed up with the way police offers are being treated, so he becomes something of an activist and is voted in as the leader of the police union. Tonight's premiere is two hours.

Celebrity Ghost Stories (8pm, BIO) - This show featuring celebrities recounting hauntings is surprisingly creepy. The two back-to-back episodes tonight from last season (new season begins next week) feature Jay Thomas, Justine Bateman, Jeffrey Ross, Lisa Rinna, and Traci Lords.

Doctor Who (9pm, BBC America) - The Doctor tries to solve the mystery of a staircase on which people ascend but never descend.
