Watch this: Thanksgiving Weekend

by TV

There’s nothing on for the next few days, so let’s squeeze everything into one posting:

Thursday

“Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” (8 p.m., ABC). Huh, I’m sure I saw this a dozen times growing up, but I can’t remember anything about it (and I even remember the motocross one!). But it’s a classic, make your kids watch it.

“Survivor: Samoa” (8 p.m., CBS). They might call it a new episode, but it’s just a clip show, with some extra footage thrown in. You won’t miss much.

“Paul McCartney: Good Evening New York City” (10 p.m., ABC). Don’t tell the baby boomers in your family this is on, otherwise you’ll get stuck watching this at the end of the night and a drunken relative will start singing along. You know what I’m talking about.

Also, a ton of channels have marathons almost all day long. My picks: A day of “MythBusters” on Discovery and/or “House Hunters” on HGTV.

Best games: NFL – Packers at Lions, 9:30 a.m., Fox
NFL – Raiders at Cowboys, 1 p.m., CBS
NFL – NY Giants at Broncos, 5 p.m., NFL Network
College football – Texas at Texas A&M, 5 p.m., ESPN

Friday

“White Collar” (10 p.m., USA). Hey, a series with a new episode! That’s rare tonight. Anyway, tonight the guys investigate a case involving the Chinese mob and Pai Gow. Ehhh, who cares about the setup, it’ll be fun regardless.

“Storytellers” (11 p.m., VH1). The Foo Fighters perform and discuss some of their biggest hits.

Best games: College football – Alabama at Auburn, 11:30 a.m., CBS
UFL championship game (no, seriously!) – Florida vs. Las Vegas, noon, Versus
College football – Nevada at Boise State, 7 p.m., ESPN2

Saturday

“Beyond Sherwood Forest” (9 p.m., Syfy). A weird crossover movie mixing BBC America’s “Robin Hood” series and Syfy’s “Fire and Ice” movie. It’s about Robin Hood fighting a woman who magically turns into a bloodthirsty monster. Likely to be fairly bad, but if you’re in the mood for some cheese. . . .

Best games: College football – Oklahoma State at Oklahoma, 9:30 a.m., CSN-BA
College football – Florida State at Florida, 12:30 p.m., CBS
College football – Arizona at Arizona State, 12:30 p.m., ABC
College football – Notre Dame at Stanford, 5:30 p.m., ABC
NBA – Lakers at Warriors, 7:30 p.m., CSN-BA
