‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ gets squeal

HBO offers a musical take on a fairy-tale classic. The voices of Alan Alda, Jeff Daniels and Alison Pill are heard in “The Emperor’s Newest Clothes” (6 p.m.) a cartoon re-imagining of the Hans Christian Andersen fable about a vain king (Alda) whose need for constant praise results in his exposure in more ways than one.

“Clothes” includes original songs by Tony Award-winner William Finn (“Falsettos,” “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”). The half-hour children’s cartoon was written and produced by Sheila Nevins, former head of HBO’s documentary division.

› The stop-action cartoon superhero spoof “Super Mansion” begins streaming the Thanksgiving special “A Prayer for Mr. T” on Crackle. Created especially for the streaming service by some of the talent behind “Robot Chicken,” it stars the voice of Bryan Cranston as the venerable superhero Titanium Rex. Chris Pine voices Dr. Devizo, and Jillian Bell is Lex. Special guest voices include Jennifer Tilly, Tony Cavalero and Tom Root.

› “The Wine Show” (10 p.m., Ovation), enters its second season. Actor’s actor James Purefoy (“Hap and Leonard,” “Altered Carbon”) and Matthew Goode (“The Crown,” “Downton Abbey”) join Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”) as they scour the globe in search of fine wines and everything that goes with their enjoyment.

They will be joined by wine expert Joe Fattorini, Michelin-star chef Stephane Reynaud, critic Jancis Robinson, and sommelier Jaega Wise. You don’t have to enjoy wine to love this gorgeously produced series. “The Wine Show” can also be streamed on Hulu.
