Forget the calendar. Big May sweeps spectacular TV events remain in short supply. Repeats and often-repeated movies dominate Saturday night, most notably “Meet the Fockers” (7 p.m., ABC), the hugely popular 2004 family farce starring Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman. While not recycled on ABC as often as the “Harry Potter” series, it must be a close second.

• Spike knows what its male-dominated audience wants. Saturday’s distractions include a George Lucas marathon, including “Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones” (2:30 p.m., Spike); “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” (5:30 p.m., Spike); “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” (8:30 p.m., Spike).

• No entertainment company is better at reviving, recycling and repackaging its properties than Disney. Having turned a theme park ride into the massive “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie franchise, they dusted off a forgotten favorite for the 2008 direct-to-DVD blockbuster CGI cartoon “Tinker Bell” (6 p.m., Saturday, Disney) featuring the voices of Mae Whitman, America Ferrera, Lucy Liu, Raven-Symone, Jesse McCartney, Anjelica Huston and Kristin Chenoweth. Much of that vocal cast returned for the 2009 sequel “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure”(7:30 p.m., Saturday, Disney).

• TCM looks back at the films of director Billy Wilder. A refugee from the Nazis, the Austrian writer-director returned to the rubble of postwar Berlin for the 1948 comedy “A Foreign Affair” (7 p.m., Saturday), starring Marlene Dietrich and Jean Arthur. “Some Like It Hot” (9:15 p.m.) follows, a tale of gangsters, cross-dressing saxophone players (Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis) and a pneumatic ukulele player (Marilyn Monroe), and a film many consider the greatest Hollywood comedy of all time.

• The war may be over, but “Foyle’s War” continues. The popular “Masterpiece Mystery” (8 p.m., Sunday, PBS) returns for a sixth season. Michael Kitchen stars in the title role as Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle, a World War I veteran who reluctantly stays behind during World War II to investigate crimes — mostly murders — on the home front. And not just any murders. Much like “Law & Order,” the violence and mayhem on “Foyle’s War” has a way of making illustrative points about a changing society.

As season six begins, the war in Europe has just concluded. Soldiers return to find their jobs taken and few groceries to be had at the market even after waiting in endless lines. Tonight’s murder seems to follow a trail of Russian prisoners of war who appear desperately reluctant to be repatriated to the USSR, certain they face murder by Stalin’s henchmen upon return. Future episodes will tackle issues like racial violence between American troops and accusations that a member of a prominent local family secretly aided the Nazis.
