We're watching TV. You're watching TV. Let's get on the same channel.

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

SATURDAY

"Christmas in Canaan" (7 p.m., Hallmark): Billy Ray Cyrus CUT HIS HAIR - you heard me, CUT HIS HAIR - for this movie based on a Kenny Rogers book about a wounded puppy.

"Ghost Intervention" (8 p.m., TLC): Four more psychic mediums travel the country to investigate supernatural claims, starting with a home in Massachusetts. Are there any untelevised mediums left?

"Death Race 2000" (9 p.m., WCIU-Channel 26): When this movie was made in 1975, the year 2000 was hard to imagine. Roger Corman imagined it as a place where you could get points for hitting pedestrians with your car. Svengoolie takes you on a journey with John Carradine's son David, Sylvester Stallone, and even "Love Boat's" Gopher (Fred Grandy) as "Herman the German."

"Saturday Night Live" (10:30 p.m., WMAQ-Channel 5): Taylor Latner, who is unofficially dating Taylor Swift, who also recently hosted "SNL," hosts. He's frequently shirtless in the popular "Twilight."

SUNDAY

"The People Speak" (7 p.m., History): Matt Damon and Josh Brolin tried for 10 years to get this history lesson made, based on Howard Zinn's book of American letters, diaries and speeches. Also with Viggo Mortensen, Marisa Tomei and Kerry Washington.

"I Dreamed a Dream: The Susan Boyle Story" (7 p.m., TV Guide): I am surprisingly susceptible to the TV Guide Channel's original programming.

"Dexter" (8 p.m., Showtime): Season finale. It'll be difficult to find another evil killer who can outcreep this season's John Lithgow.

"Keeping Up With the Kardashians" (11 p.m., E!): The start of the fourth season. Somehow it seems wrong that this airs on a Sunday, doesn't it?
