SATURDAY
"Downsized" (8 p.m., WE TV): The Bruce family has seven children and were living large until a year ago. Now they can barely make the rent. The family is sweetly earnest, and I'm hoping there's some sort of lottery win in the season finale.
"A Family Thanksgiving" (8 p.m., Hallmark): It would be just my luck to have Faye Dunaway as a fairy godmother, but in this case it's Daphne Zuniga's life she turns upside-down. Zuniga plays a career woman who gets a magical taste of family life
"House of Frankenstein" (9 p.m., WCIU-Channel 26): Svengoolie is excited to bring you the 1944 classic. "Boris Karloff returns to the Frankenstein franchise after last playing the monster five years ago - but this time, he's a crazed scientist who wants to transplant the brain of Larry Talbot -- the Wolf Man -- into the monster. John Carradine as the Slim-Fast Dracula also appears. The sultry gypsy girl, Elena Verdugo, later played Consuela on 'Marcus Welby M.D.'!"
SUNDAY
"Hannah Montana" (6:30 p.m., Disney): On a very special episode, Hannah considers giving up the blond wig during an interview with Jay Leno. Phil McGraw, obviously, is on hand for the big decision.
"The Simpsons" (7 p.m., WFLD-Channel 32): There's no expiration date on TERROR! It's "Treehouse of Horror XXI," with a tale of Lisa falling in love with a vampire (Daniel Radcliffe).
"Great Migrations" (7 p.m., National Geographic): This seven-part series documents epic animal migrations on all seven continents. Alec Baldwin narrates about Christmas Island red crabs, as well as Kenyan wildebeest.
"Undercover Boss" (8 p.m., WBBM-Channel 2): Cubs owner Todd Rickets goes undercover at Wrigley Field.
