The Sing Off (NBC; 7 pm CST) Season Finale
The Closer (TNT; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
Wednesday, 12/23
I've talked up Glee before, and today FOX is airing two of the best eps of the season. At 7 pm CST, they air the episode where Kurt attempts to join the football team (highlighted wonderfully by Mike O'Malley's role as Kurt's father) and at 8 pm, the episode that guest-starred Kristen Chenowith airs.
Glee has a number of imperfections, but when it hits the a nice, emotional, element, it's the best show on TV. Both of these episodes hit that emotional element. When Kurt told his dad he was gay, I have to say I did not expect the reaction his father gave back. Surprising, and extremely well written as well as acted.

NBC airs It's a Wonderful Life at 7 pm. Sure, it's a little hokey-- but, c'mon, it can still bring a tear to your eye. And even if you're a cold-hearted bastard, you have to admire Jimmy Stewart's work. It sure was a different time then. There is only one actor who might be able to pull off that role now... George Clooney.

TBS runs its annual 24-hr A Christmas Story marathon, beginning at 5 am CST.
I just watched the film a week ago (after a few years), and it just gets more brilliant as I get older.
Saturday, 12/26
5 Ingredient Fix; Food Network. 11:30 am CST. Season Premiere.
Sunday, 12/27
Brothers (FOX; 6:30 pm CST). Season Finale.
"Season Finale"... Yeah, right.
Hey, when Joe Buck has the stones to rip on the show on his HBO series-- mere feet from Brothers star Michael Strahan-- and Strahan doesn't kick his ass, I think the writing is on the wall.
This will be the series finale.
