Movie: Flushed Away, 8 PM on Ch. 22 and Ch. 9:

“Wallace & Gromit” fans voiced reservatio­ns about its “W&G” look without using the “W&G” creation method, but this animated, familyfrie­ndly 2006 film features Hugh Jackman as the voice of Roddy, a pampered pet mouse who accidental­ly gets flushed down a toilet and winds up in the sewers. He’s no sewer rat, though: He’s rather uptown and not used to slumming it, so he needs to rely on those who know the terrain. Kate Winslet, Ian McKellen and Jean Reno also provide voices.

Movie: Frozen in Love, 9 PM on HALL:

Mary (Rachael Leigh Cook) is desperate to save her failing Denver bookstore, so she turns to a public-relations agency that decides to pair her with an unlikely partner: recently suspended hockey star Adam (Niall Matter), who is in dire need of an image makeover. The plan is for Adam to coach a local youth hockey league sponsored by Mary’s store. As this far-fetched scheme unfolds, so does the inevitable “unexpected” romance.

Ina new episode called “Watchers,” Tess (Lizzie Brochere) bravely faces off against a dangerous intruder, while Burton (David Ajala) has an unsettling encounter with a ghost from his past.
