{alltv} What's on TV this weekend?: Midler, Marx Brothers and more

•Here's a great way to kick 2010 to the curb and prepare for a better 2011. HBO offers Bette Midler: The Showgirl Must Go On (Friday, 9 p.m. ET/PT), a televised version of her Las Vegas production show. As anyone who has ever seen Midler live knows, there's not much out there that compares.

•Many of you have out-on-the-town plans to welcome in the new year. But for those staying home, TV offers various hosting options: Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark on ABC; Carson Daly on NBC; Nancy O'Dell on Fox; and Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin on CNN. Or you can skip them all and watch the all-night Marx Brothers Marathon on TCM.

•Oprah Winfrey begins a new TV chapter with the New Year's Day launch of her own network, OWN (Saturday, noon, ET/PT). Look for it where Discovery Health used to be.

•If you're looking for CSI: Miami (CBS, Sunday, 8 ET/PT), look earlier. It's moved.

•We find out whether Paul is alive in the partial resolution of a Desperate Housewives (ABC, Sunday, 9 ET/PT) cliffhanger that is less "who shot" than "who cares?" Which, sad to say, pretty much sums up the season so far.
