BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

After the two best Peanuts holiday specials, for Christmas and Halloween, there’s a steep dropoff in satisfaction among the remaining animated programs featuring Charlie Brown and the gang. But on what may as well be considered Thanksgiving Eve, let’s give thanks, at least, for a holiday special that even the youngest gathered among us can enjoy on this occasion.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

The parade isn’t until tomorrow, of course, but tonight’s Macy’s parade special sets the stage, if not the table, by giving both a preview of tomorrow’s festivities and a history lesson of Macy’s past parades – a tradition that goes back 90 years now, all the way to one year before the advent of the talking motion picture. And even then, the first parade balloons had a cinematic link: to the animated Felix the Cat.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

I’m not sure what’s going to be included in this new prime-time, two-hour SNL compilation Thanksgiving special. But if it doesn’t include the classic mid-1970s appearance of Paul Simon, dressed up in a turkey costume to sing “Still Crazy After All These Years,” I’m going to call fowl.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 9:30 p.m. ET

Repeated for the holidays, in its entirety and just in time: the South Park “Black Friday” trilogy. Don’t leave home without it – especially on the day after Thanksgiving.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Part 8. Among other elements on this show, tonight’s installment in this series about the evolution of recorded music looks at, and listens to, two popular performers with markedly different vocal styles: Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan. For a full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower. Check local listings.
