Another Christmas special joins the fray with The Flight Before Christmas, the animated story of a young reindeer eager to fly like his father. Punny titles never seem to lead anywhere good. (CBS, 9 p.m.)
NPR recently covered the TV nanny genre, and if you're a fan, you'll be glad to know that tonight, Jo Frost of Supernanny is taking on the children of the NBA's Mike James. I predict many jokes about the children fouling out.
I don't really believe in "guilty pleasures" (if I'm looking for entertainment, something is entertaining, and no one is being hurt, guilt seems like an out-of-place reaction), but I definitely have some puzzling pleasures — things I'm not sure why I like. Definitely among them is Say Yes To The Dress, TLC's completely frothy reality show about women picking out their hilariously overpriced wedding dresses. Somehow, on Friday nights when the week has been long, it's exactly what I want to watch. (TLC, 10 p.m.)
Prefer things that are a little more traditional? Tomorrow night, WE is carrying the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Whee! (WE, Saturday, 8 p.m.)
Most shows, especially network shows, have rolled into reruns until after the new year, but CBS still has one big card to play: Sunday night's two-hour Survivor finale and one-hour reunion special. The way this season is shaping up, the final tribal council, in which those who vote for the ultimate winner pepper the finalists with questions, looks like it will be extra-bitter, so if you watch the show with your baser instincts fully engaged, it might be a good night for you. (CBS, Sunday, 8 p.m.)
Also on Sunday: the third-season finale of Showtime's serial-killer drama Dexter. (Showtime, Sunday, 10 p.m.)
