NBC/ Courtesy: Everett Collection.
Forty-five million viewers tuned in over two nights in November 1998 to watch this miniseries about one of Motown’s greatest vocal acts. The Temptations produced hits like “My Girl,” “I Can’t Get Next to You,” “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” over their decades-long career that started in 1961 in Detroit when two rival singing groups combined forces. Both parts, two hours each, air back-to-back. The show about the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers was based on the autobiography of the now-last-surviving original member of the group, Otis Williams, who still performs today as a Temptation!

NBC is once again the exclusive broadcast home for Frank Capra’s beloved 1946 holiday classic. It stars Best Actor Oscar nominee James Stewart as George Bailey, a discouraged and despairing building-and-loan manager who contemplates suicide before a guardian angel named Clarence (Henry Travers) intervenes and allows him to see what George’s small town of Bedford Falls would be without him — and all that is right in his world. Donna Reed and Lionel Barrymore also star.

Everett Collection
This holiday favorite from 1983 airs on TBS and TNT in a traditional Yuletide marathon. Peter Billingsley stars as Ralphie, the little boy who yearns to find a Red Ryder BB gun under the Christmas tree. Not just a Christmas story, it’s about parents, little brothers, bullies, decoder rings, dares and, most of all, the workings of a youthful mind. The writing by Jean Shepherd (who also narrates) captures it all perfectly. Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon also star.

TCM continues its tribute to beloved stars we’ve lost this year, showcasing some of their more memorable films. Remembered tonight will be Robert Benton with the 1979 weeper he directed and wrote, Kramer vs. Kramer; film legend Val Kilmer in 1984’s Top Secret!; and Western great Joe Don Baker in 1973’s Walking Tall, which makes its TCM premiere. Later in the evening, tribute airings are for Claude Jarman Jr., the young star of 1946’s The Yearling, who died at 90; British actress and Tony Award winner Joan Plowright (widow of Laurence Olivier), who died at 95 and will be remembered in The Entertainer (1960); and composer Lalo Schifrin whose music is featured in 1967’s Cool Hand Luke.

The Thin Man
FMC, 10:15pm
Courtesy Everett Collection
The first in a series of six films following retired detective Nick Charles (William Powell) and his clever wife Nora (Myrna Loy) dives into a missing-inventor mystery. The duo never misses a chance for banter — or a cocktail — in this 1934 classic. Packed with twists, laughs and the irresistible chemistry of Powell and Loy, it’s a classy whodunit that’s as fun as it is clever.

Blue Hawaii
TCM, 10pm
Everett Collection
Elvis is predictably charming as Chad Gates, an Army vet eager to ditch his fatigues for beach babes and blue water, in 1961’s Blue Hawaii. But Angela Lansbury steals her scenes as his upper-crust and uptight mother who wants her hunky son to ignore Hawaii’s temptations and join the family pineapple business. “Obviously, I was awed by being in [Elvis’] presence,” recalled Lansbury, who was only nine years older than her onscreen son in Blue Hawaii, “but he was an awfully nice young man in those days. … He had terrible problems of a very personal nature, but he’d just come out of the Army. … He was fit, he was slender and he was top of his form.” Though the critics offered up a collective “meh,” the film proved a massive hit and scored a Best Soundtrack Album Grammy nomination for its irresistibly tropical tunes.
