The Ten Commandments
ABC, 7:00 p.m. ET
Cecil B. DeMille’s late-career biblical epic stars Charlton Heston in his most iconic role, as Moses, to whom it is said that God favored as a very special sort of headache patient. (“Take two tablets and call me in the morning.” Or something like that.) ABC is back to showing this every year at this time – although one year, when pushing its own telemovie remake of the same biblical story, it skipped its otherwise annual showing. Bad move – this 1956 Old Testament story is not one to Passover.
