TV picks: Showtime's 'Weiner,' 'The Walking Dead,' 'Dirk Gently' and more
* WEINER. 9 p.m. Saturday, Showtime. What kind of scandal-prone politician allows a film crew to follow him around? One like former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York (pictured), the sexting recidivist whose 2013 run for mayor is covered here in all its cringe-worthy glory.
* WEINER. 9 p.m. Saturday, Showtime.

* DIRK GENTLY'S HOLISTIC
DETECTIVE AGENCY. 9 p.m.

DVR alert: The seventh-season premiere runs an hour and six minutes, followed by 90 minutes of rehashing on the post-show Talking Dead.

NORMAN LEAR - JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF YOU. 9 p.m. Tuesday, WHYY12.
The All in the Family creator looks back at an extraordinary life.
