Critic’s Corner: What’s on TV this weekend

Extreme Cheapskates Sunday at 8 p.m., DFH

A mother of five who searches for roadkill. A man who haggles over prices at fast-food restaurants. These are people who have money, by the way, which makes it all pretty gross. There’s even a millionaire who pees in bottles so she doesn’t have to flush her toilet; she also dumpster-dives for food. If you’re in the mood to get grossed out, the TLC series shows up Sunday night on sibling network DFH, which stands for Discovery Fit & Health.

Prosecuting Casey Anthony 8 p.m., Lifetime

This bland TV movie starring Rob Lowe reminded of the sheer awfulness of Nancy Grace and Jane Velez-Mitchell, HLN hosts who love to throw gasoline on tabloid trials. “Prosecuting Casey Anthony” relies on lots of footage of these two over-the-top figures to tell the story of the trial and how the prosecution lost. If you didn’t know Grace and Velez-Mitchell actually existed, you might think they were invented for the movie.

Downton Abbey Sunday at 9 p.m., Channel 2
