Coverage of actual events of the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy is you best bet tonight. NBC starts in the afternoon with coverage then more in primetime and even more late night. Not much else on as it is a Saturday night.

Solid Selections
48 Hours Mystery (CBS): Repeat where a respected professor is thought to be behind a murder.
