How do you like them apples? Or those potatoes, those tulips (as below) . . . or even that marijuana? The new documentary ‘The Botany of Desire’ considers these plants as it examines the intersection of humans and horticulture. (KCET, 8 p.m.)

‘B-r-a-i-n-s!’ On a new episode of the supernatural drama ‘Medium,’

SATURDAY

If your neighbors’ haunted house is just a little ho-hum this year, your best bet for a really spooky Halloween might just be to stay in and watch horror icons Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in the 1945 terror tale ‘The Body Snatcher.’ (TCM, 8:15 p.m.)

DOWN UNDER Crikey! Not even the combined star power of Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman was enough to turn Baz Lurhmann’s 2008 romantic epic ‘Australia’ into a hit . . . but its nearly three-hour running time is still shorter than an airplane flight to the actual continent. (HBO, 8 p.m. Sat.)

SCIENCE FICTION

‘Firefly’s’ lovely and talented Summer Glau returns to the Whedonverse with a guest spot on the sci-fi series ‘Dollhouse,’ playing a doll-programmer from the Washington, D.C., branch of the Rossum Corp.’s clandestine operation. (Fox, 9 p.m. Fri.)
