1) “A Paw Patrol Christmas,” 8 p.m., CBS. Santa has a cold and Mayor Humdinger has a scheme: He’ll head to the North Pole and grab all the presents for himself. The others may have a better plan. “Paw Patrol” (shown here) is one of only two new primetime cartoons for the holidays; the other (a third “Prep & Landing” tale) airs at 9 p.m. Sunday on ABC.
1) “Wind” and “Oz,” cable. In 1939, two classics came out — “Gone With the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz.” When Ted Turner later bought MGM for his cable stations, he was delighted to own both. Now, in a rarity, they overlap in most time zones: “Wind” is 3:30 to 8 p.m. ET on Turner Classic Movies; “Oz” is 5:45 p.m. on TBS, then 9:30 and 11:45 p.m. on TNT.
3) Mario Lopez films, cable. Lopez has become popular in Christmas films. Great American Family has a new one, “A Christmas Spark,” at 8 p.m. ET; he plays a lawyer, passed over for a promotion, who joins the fire department. At the same time (in some time zones), the 2022 “Steppin’ Into the Holidays” is 8 p.m. on Lifetime. He and Jana Kramer show some dance moves.
4) More Christmas. A holiday-movie surge is starting. There are new ones at 6 and 8 p.m. today on Hallmark, plus lots of previous ones on Lifetime, Hallmark, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and Great American Family. And at 8 p.m., CW has an animated hour, “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer.”
5) “Everybody Loves Raymond” reunion, 9-10:30 p.m., CBS. In a late change, CBS will rerun Monday’s special, followed by a “Ghosts” rerun. Together, they wipe out the scheduled “Fire Country” reruns. And yes, this “Raymond” is worth rerunning. It has great clips, warm memories and a funny tribute to the late Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts.
