BEST BETS
6 p.m. HALL ‘Movie: Christmas Scavenger Hunt’
No sooner has Belinda (Kim Shaw) arrived in her hometown for Christmas than she runs into old flame Dustin (Kevin McGarry), who broke her heart years ago by staying behind when she moved away for college. Her father (Tom Arnold) not-so-secretly wants the couple to get back together, so he “accidentally” pairs them as a team for the holiday scavenger hunt. Inevitably, Belinda and Dustin rekindle some sparks, but how will he feel when he finds out Belinda’s hidden agenda for coming back home?
7 p.m. FOOD ULTIMATE THANKSGIVING CHALLENGE
Some of America’s most creative chefs vie in holiday-themed challenges for a grand prize of $25,000 (and bragging rights) in this fourpart competition. The culinary fun begins in tonight’s premiere, “Bang for Your Buck,” as host Giada De Laurentiis welcomes the six chefs and challenges them to take a lowcost item and transform it into a memorable Thanksgiving appetizer. For the dinner round, the chefs must create a Thanksgiving meal that includes an inexpensive turkey item. Alex Guarnaschelli, Christian Petroni and Carla Hall decide which chef goes home.
7 p.m. SHOW THE AFFAIR
The title may be somewhat generic, but this splendidly acted TV drama earned critical kudos and multiple Golden Globe Awards during its five-season run, with both Maura Tierney and original leading lady Ruth Wilson picking up trophies along the way. Wilson’s character is no longer part of the show, but Tierney, Dominic West and their colleagues are still turning in first-rate performances as the drama airs its series finale, which sees everything coming full circle on Whitney’s (Julia Goldani Telles) wedding day.
