What’s on Network TV Tonight? (12/11/10)

This weekend is all about holiday specials on network TV. Tonight brings epic movies and animated specials from the past. FOX is keeping with their normal Saturday night lineup of criminal activity, how nice. So it’s one extreme or the other tonight. Might be a good night to wrap presents!

Here’s what’s on network TV tonight:

ABC
8/7c: The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Full Screen Edition) - movie special
Children enter a magical world where they meet mystical creatures and fight against a witch.


CBS
8/7c:Frosty the Snowman - special
The 1969 animated holiday classic narrated by Jimmy Durante. You know the story, kids build a snowman. Find a magic hat. Hat turns Frosty real. Sun melts Frosty. Oh, just watch it, you know you want to!

8:30/7:30c: Frosty Returns - special
Only the name remains the same in this 1995 addition featuring the voice of John Goodman. Still a great story for kids of all ages.

9/8c: The Flight Before Christmas - special
Norm McDonald and Emma Roberts lend their voices to this holiday animated special. A young reindeer wants to follow in his fathers hoofprints and pull Santa’s sleigh, but his fear of heights holds him back.

10/9c: 48hrs Mystery - new episode
Imagine being the lone survivor of a serial killer, then telling your story to millions. The survivor of the “railroad killer” speaks out.

CW local programming

FOX

Cops in Amarillo, TX chase a suspected prostitute on foot. A hotel in Florida is the site of another prostitution arrest.

8:30/7:30c: Cops - rerun
Police are called on a man having relations with a young girl in his car in Portland, OR. Another prostitution bust in Amarillo, TX.

9/8c: America’s Most Wanted
The recent murder of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen is updated. Also, an update on the 20 year old unsolved “lover’s lane” murder of a girl and her boyfriend in western Hills County, TX.

NBC
8/7c: It's a Wonderful Life - movie special
You know Christmas day is near when NBC airs it’s annual footage of this 1946 classic. You can’t go wrong tuning in to watch the story of George Bailey and Bedford Falls.

Sometimes less is more. There aren’t a lot of options for network TV tonight, but the quality is there. Check out Narnia or It’a a Wonderful Life if you don’t have other plans. I think it’s mandatory if you haven’t seen one or the other. OK, now I’m just making up rules. So, what are you watching on TV tonight?
