I could be totaly off on this but I believe I remember that the readings for the Saturday Vigil mass are not the same ones read on the following Sunday. Why is this?

I try to attend Saturday and Sunday Mass when I can (always Sunday Mass of course) and the readings are the same.
 
Sunday readings are the same, which is why typically a Saturday evening Mass is properly called “anticipated” rather than a “vigil”.

Once in a while, the readings will differ, when a Solemnity (which has its own proper and rightly-called “vigil”) falls on a Sunday and replaces the celebration.

During Lent there are also two different readings that may be done for most Sundays. There are special readings that instruct those people who are going to enter the Church at Easter and then there are the normal readings. Some parishes may do the readings for the Catechumans when they are present and then the normal readings for when the catechumans are not present.
