Weekend TV Preview

"Dancing With The Stars" results show tonight at 8, with "The Book of Daniel" at 10 p.m. If you're starting to look forward to the Winter Olympics, the ice skating this weekend will determine who makes the team. ESPN2 has coverage tonight at 10:30 p.m. and ABC has it in primetime on Saturday. "60 Minutes" has the Bode Miller profile where he jokes about the difficulties of skiing drunk.

"Saturday Night Live" has Scarlett Johansson and Death Cab For Cuties. More importantly, it has everyone's attention since the last original episode of "SNL" before the holidays stunned the world by not completely sucking. It had two genuinely funny bits: a Claymation holiday tune called "Christmastime For The Jews" and the truly hilarious rap video "Lazy Sunday." So the pressure is on for this episode not to completely suck either.

And Sunday night is the smashing two-hour return of "24." Rave reviews from every critic and rightly so. If you've never been addicted to this series, just watch the first two hours. And check online or the 24 hour cable channels early Sunday morning at around 5 am EST -- that's when NASA's Stardust mission is set to land in Utah and some cool video should be out there. "Desperate Housewives" rediscovers its inner camp by staging a fight between Gabrielle and a nun.

Oh, and there's a little show tonight called "Battlestar: Galactica."
