Weekend TV: Puppies, kittens, late-show hosts all circling the Bowl

* SUPER BOWL'S GREATEST COMMERCIALS ALL-STAR COUNTDOWN. 8 p.m. Saturday, CBS3. Why wait for the game if all you care about is the ads? This show promises to recap the Top 10 of the past while previewing some of those airing during Super Bowl 50.

Why wait for the game if all you care about is the ads? This show promises to recap the Top 10 of the past while previewing some of those airing during Super Bowl 50.

* PUPPY BOWL XII. 3 p.m. Sunday, Animal Planet. KITTEN BOWL III. Noon Sunday, Hallmark. FISH BOWL XXL. 6 p.m. Sunday, NatGeo Wild.

We're probably only a year away from Armadillo Bowl. For now, your choices are puppies, kittens and a goldfish with big ideas.

* THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT and THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN. 10 and 11:35 p.m. Sunday, CBS3.

Look for Upper Darby's ubiquitous Tina Fey to be among Colbert's guests for his post-Super Bowl Show. Corden (pictured, left, with Colbert last fall) is promising Carpool Karaoke with Elton John.

* MANSON'S LOST GIRLS. 8 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime.

It can't all be War & Peace - which has been splendid and concludes on Monday - because Lifetime wouldn't be Lifetime without movies that make women glad they're not the women in those movies. Radnor's Jeff Ward plays Charles Manson.

* BROADCAST NEWS. 8 p.m. Saturday, TCM.

It makes me feel ancient to know that this 1987 film is on Turner Classic Movies, but it's still one of my favorites. Holly Hunter and William Hurt star as TV news colleagues with very different ideas about news.
