Angelina Jolie, Tim Riggins, and the new adventures of Diana Degarmo. Take the jump and learn all about it.
Marathon And On: Sci-Fi is running a mini-marathon of Dr. Who episodes from 8 AM today (so it will be going on by the time you read this) until 4 PM. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em. (Sci-Fi, 8 AM)

Once Were Weird
: Angelina Jolie splashed down into the mainstream with Girl, Interrupted, also starring Winona Ryder. It was back when they both were actresses instead of headlines in Us magazine. It's an okay movie, but it's also sort of a historical document. (FX, 10 AM)

Maid In The Shade: In honor of the recently departed Allan Melville, who played Sam the Butcher, enjoy an Alice-heavy episode of The Brady Bunch, in which her old boyfriend comes to try to woo her away from her meaty love. (TV Land, 11 AM)

In Case You Think Crap-Ass Movies Are A New Phenomenon: You want to see a corny movie? Blue Lagoon is one corny movie. Brooke Shields, Christopher Atkins, and what would happen if teenagers matured sexually while remaining three-year-olds in their minds. (AMC, 11:15 AM)

Title Only: Awesomely Bad Freakouts. (VH1, 3 PM)

Awwwww:
Hallmark hits one of the...well, hallmark episodes of Little House, in which Almanzo finally sees Laura as a woman. A woman! I swear, I do watch other reruns. It's just that these are so familiar and homey. (Hallmark, 4 PM)

"'Her Line' Is Code For 'Fat Ass'":
The thing you need to know about Dying To Dance is that it was once the Most Awesome Thing Kim Saw On TV This Week. It's Robin Scorpio! She's dying! To dance! (Lifetime Movie Network, 4:25 PM)

Hayden Alert: If you enjoy Hayden Panettiere over on Heroes, you'll love her in Bring It On: All Or Nothing. Okay, you probably won't. But you'll see her in it, at least. (ABC Family, 7 PM)

Finally, Music She Can't Grin Through:
If you've been wondering what happened to little Diana Degarmo after she didn't win American Idol, then...well, actually, you're not paying enough attention, because she's done surprisingly well for herself. Her actual career (seriously!) continues with her appearance on CMT's new Gone Country, a show in which various celebrities try their hands at country music while cooped up in Nashville. (CMT, 8 PM)

Oh, The Thunder Rolls, All Right:
Do you like Garth Brooks? Did you know Garth Brooks was still alive? (Sorry, Garth Brooks fans! Don't email me; I'm just kidding! Look, I'm putting you in the picks!) Garth Brooks performs some songs, it would appear, in a prime-time special competing against a bunch of reruns. Way to go, Garth Brooks. (CBS, 9 PM)

Tim, Tim...Suffering Hotly:
On a new Friday Night Lights, Tami is coaching the volleyball team, and Riggins is trying to express his feelings. Hey, those things both sound...awesome. (NBC, 9 PM)
