Weekend TV : ‘The Reporters,’ ‘What Every Baby Knows,’ Keillor’s ‘Companion’ Boost Fox, Cable Fare

With the networks still content to fill their prime-time schedules with reruns, anyone looking for something other than the NFL preseason openers on television this weekend will have to turn again to cable or the spunky Fox network.

Tonight, actress Teresa Saldana, the victim of a brutal knife attack outside her Hollywood apartment a few years ago, will report on violence against celebrities in a special episode of “The Reporters,” 8:30 p.m. (11)(6). In the wake of the recent murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer, Saldana will speak with Charlton Heston, Joel Brooks (Schaeffer’s co-star on “My Sister Sam”), Ally Sheedy, Lisa Hartman and Hollywood security specialists about the increasing danger that celebrities face from the public.

At 10:30 a.m. today, the Lifetime cable network begins a 39-episode series, “What Every Baby Knows: The First Three Years,” which chronicles the growth and development of infants and toddlers and the trials, tribulations and joys of their parents. The premiere includes a graphic sequence of a baby being born.

On Sunday, Garrison Keillor returns to the Disney Channel at 9 p.m. in “A Prairie Home Companion: The Third Annual Farewell Tour.” Robin Williams and Emmylou Harris will join Keillor and the cast from his old Minnesota radio program in this return to the sleepy streets of Lake Wobegon.
