What if you turned on the TV and found a lip-synched version of "Like a Rolling Stone" on every channel? Like many of Dylan's ideas, you might feel like it's a bit of a game, or a mystery....

Last night, Disney presented the original Toy Story. Tomorrow night, Disney presents Toy Story 3. And tonight? You guessed it: 1999’s Toy Story 2, continuing the adventures of Woody and Buzz, and introducing, via the voice of Joan Cusack, Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl.

Surprisingly, this sitcom has built up enough warmth among its characters that a Thanksgiving episode makes sense – even if some of the displays of affection are anything but typical.

This series has been around long enough that tonight’s episode is titled “Thanksgiving III.” And this season, it’s a wild episode – as in Into the Wild, where the gang goes to test its survival skills. Or, in this case, its Survivor skills, because, in celebration of the holiday, Jess and company decide to head into the woods for some rustic food and adventure. And, being competitive as always, they decide to divide and conquer.

By what seems to be sheer coincidence, this 1968 Steve McQueen classic movie is presented in prime time tonight by two different networks. It’s shown at 9 p.m. ET on TCM, and again at 10:15 p.m. ET on Sundance. During both showings, McQueen’s Bullitt, driving in San Francisco in one of the cinema’s most famous car chases, gets all four wheels of his automobile completely off the ground – sort of like the horse hooves filmed by Eadweard Muybridge in his pioneering 1878 mot

How I Met Your Mother has an odd gimmick this time: Every line of dialogue is spoken in a rhyme. And while this season’s stories have been thin, to say the least – at least they’re all a lot more fun than Beauty and the Beast.

Tonight through Wednesday in this time slot, Disney is presenting all three Toy Story movies. The computer-animated fun begins with this groundbreaking 1995 effort, which changed movie animation by both developing and showcasing a bold new technique for full-length movie cartoons. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen provide the voices, respectively, for Woody the cowboy and astronaut Buzz Lightyear.

This movie is now 30 years old. That’s hard to believe, but the fact that this 1983 film launched the career of Tom Cruise, a star so bright he’s still a major factor in Hollywood three decades later, is much easier to comprehend. The moment he slides across the floor in his socks – and his briefs – he’s in orbit, among the brightest stars in the show-business galaxy.
