What To Watch This Week on TV: Franco Fans Rejoice; Get Ready to Pan 'Pan'
Check out our weekly guide to make sure you’re catching the big premieres, crucial episodes and the stuff you won’t admit you watch when no one’s looking.
— It’s a big weekend for James Franco fans. The multi-multi-hyphenate hosts Saturday Night Live with musical guest Nicki Minaj 11:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC. On Sunday, he strips down and heads into the woods with his buddy Seth Rogen for a very special episode of Naked and Afraid 8 p.m. Eastern on Discovery.
A sexy, super twosome, Bravo’s first scripted series, and more TV this week, AFTER THE JUMP …
— The CW’s two hunky titular heroes, The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Arrow (Stephen Amell) come together to battle evil in an epic two-part crossover. The action-packed event kicks off at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
— Bravo gets into the scripted game with their first series, Girlfriends’ Guide To Divorce, starring Lisa Edelstein, Paul Adelstein and Janeane Garofalo. Based on the trailer above, it looks a bit like a saucier Lifetime series, but we’ll see if it’s a hit when it debuts Tuesday at 10 p.m. Eastern.
— Now that you’ve thrown away the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers, it’s time to go full-tilt into the winter holiday season. On Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern, ABC premieres Toy Story That Time Forgot, a Disney-Pixar produced half-hour special that features the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Kristen Schaal. Then, on Wednesday at 8 p.m. Eastern, NBC makes the yuletide gay with Christmas In Rockefeller Center, featuring performances from Cyndi Lauper, Lady Gaga and Idina Menzel.
— Despite its star Allison Williams’ plea to not hate-watch her performance of Peter Pan Live!, we’re sure we’re not the only ones planning to tune in Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC just for that very purpose.
