Off the Wall: Happy 30th birthday, MTV

Off the Wall doesn't trust any TV channel over 30.

I WANT MY MTV! The former MusicTV channel turns 30 Monday! And the celebration is on -- VH1 Classic. (Today's MTV is too busy with "Teen Mom.") Through three days of "MTV30 on VH1 Classic" (Saturday at 6 a.m. through Monday at midnight), they'll run iconic moments, memorable videos, VJ footage, shows like "Beavis and Butt-Head," promos and more -- including the very first hour of MTV from Aug. 1, 1981, unreeling Sunday at midnight. On VH1 Classic. Of course. Visit vh1classic.com.

MOVIE MANIA Compare and contrast: Before the debut of the Angelina Jolie-Johnny Depp adaptation "The Tourist" (Saturday night at 9, Starz), watch the French original called "Anthony Zimmer" (Saturday night at 7:30, Starz Cinema) . . . Turner Classic Movies starts its annual Summer Under the Stars month, devoting 24 hours daily to a single performer, with Marlon Brando in "The Fugitive Kind" (Monday at 6 a.m.) . . . Joining host Morgan Spurlock on the weekly "50 Documentaries to See Before You Die" (Tuesday at 9 p.m., Current) are such acclaimed filmmakers as Errol Morris, Michael Moore and Diablo Cody.

SOMETIMES THE TITLE IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW Especially if the program is called "The Lady With 700 Cats" (Saturday night at 10, NatGeo Wild). It's a visit to California's largest no-cage, no-kill cat sanctuary. Photos at animals.national geographic.com/animals.

WILFRED DOWN UNDER The new FX comedy fave is based on an Australian series also titled "Wilfred" (Sunday noon-4 p.m., IFC).
