James Stewart continues as TCM’s Star of the Month, kicking off tonight’s prime time salute with 1954’s biopic in which he played bandleader Glenn Miller. It’s an entertaining little movie… if you’re In the Mood. Other Stewart films that follow include 1950’s Harvey (10:15 p.m. ET), 1958’s Bell, Book and Candle (12:15 a.m. ET), and 1954’s Rear Window (2:15 a.m. ET).

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE THANKSGIVING By David Bianculli

I don’t care what more modern sketches they show in these annual holiday specials – so long as, each Thanksgiving, they remember to include Paul Simon, dressed in a turkey suit, opening an episode of Saturday Night Live singing “Still Crazy after All These Years.” More than 40 years later, it still makes me laugh.

The connecting link was Yul Brynner, reprising his role as the robot gunslinger – but this time, his adversaries were new park visitors played by Peter Fonda and Blythe Danner.

Tonight’s episode is called “Number Two,” and is devoted to another of the three siblings…. And, as was mentioned in the promos, a medical mishap. After tonight, it’ll be two down, one to go, in this interconnected ratings sweeps month story line.
