Production Company: Von Zerneck-Sertner Films
Executive Producers: Ann Lopez, Robert Sertner, Frank Von Zerneck, Jerry Vukas

George Lopez stars in this made-for-the-holidays movie about Henry Garcia, a popular, Chicago Sports Radio DJ who assumes a persona of sarcastic nastiness. As Christmas approaches, a young boy with a life threatening disease challenges Garcia into changing his banter style from negative to positive. To Henry's surprise, his uplifting new approach seems to inspire the entire city and helps the young boy heal, as his own life falls apart.

It's not always a wonderful life for Henry when his ratings fall and he nearly gives up all that he has worked for - until his fans unite behind him and he's shown that miracles can happen.

The nest is finally empty, they've put the family home up for sale, and they're preparing to spend their retirement years traveling. (Maggie longs for a villa in Tuscany, while ever-thrifty Jason wants to tour the USA in a Winnebago.)

But all that's easier said than done as Mike and a very pregnant Carol, each with their own agenda for wanting their parents to stay put, team up to sabotage the move. At the same time, little brother Ben, now a realtor, needs the big sale of his parents' home to please his boss. Meanwhile, Chrissie, an aspiring singer, just wants to get out from under her parents' watchful gaze so she can launch her career as a rock star.

Once Upon a Mattress
2 Hours

Cast:
Carol Burnett: Queen Agravain

Credits:
Production Company: ABC Entertainment
Executive Producers: Carol Burnett, Marty Tudor

Carol Burnett, who starred as Princess Winifred the Woebegone in both the original 1959 Broadway musical hit and the 1972 made-for-television movie, returns this time to control the kingdom in the role of Queen Agravaine for ABC's re-make of this classic tale based on Hans Christian Andersen's story The Princess and the Pea.

As a shrew and the overbearing mother to Prince Dauntless, Queen Agravaine insists that each of his potential brides-to-be pass an impossible gauntlet of tests. Further, no one else in the kingdom may marry until the Prince does. When Princess Winnifred declares herself a contender for the Prince's hand, the Queen devises a clever sensitivity test to determine whether this self-proclaimed princess is worthy of her son.

Set in 1428, the story takes odd twists and turns, interspersed with songs that give a whole new look at the popular fairy tale. It's based on the book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer with music by Mary Rogers (daughter of Richard Rodgers) and lyrics by Marshall Barer.

Original Movies

Dynasty: Behind the Scenes
2 Hours

Cast:
Melora Hardin: Linda Evans
Bart John: John Forsythe
Alice Krige: Joan Collins
Pamela Reed: Esther Shapiro
Ritchie Singer: Richard Shapiro
John Terry: Vince Peterson

Credits:
Production Companies: Once Upon A Time Films, Village Roadshow Productions, Nitelite Entertainment
Executive Producers: Stanley M. Brooks, Greg Gugliotta, Robert Sertner, Frank Von Zerneck

From 1981-1989, ABC broadcast the phenomenally-successful primetime drama serial, Dynasty, a series that reflected the Reagan years of excess and glamour. Now ABC takes viewers behind-the-scenes with a satirical, yet poignant, look at the show that allowed people to forget about their ordinary lives and drink in the champagne and caviar existence of the Carrington's - a TV family dripping in jewels but short on basic morality.

Dynasty was not an instant hit series when Esther and Richard Shapiro first created the show, but it eventually dazzled audiences around the world with one of TV history's most notoriously wicked female characters, Alexis Carrington; revolutionized the term 'cat fight' as Alexis and Krystle went at it through a lily pond and mud puddle; and inspired millions of women to beef up their shoulder pads. With success came bigger salary demands from the stars and an over-inflated budget, making it one of the most expensive shows on television at that time.

Dynasty: Behind The Scenes tells of the sometimes desperate, and frequently hilarious, efforts to keep the show at the top of the ratings. No plotline was too outrageous or inconceivable for the show that left an indelible imprint on the '80s

Oprah Winfrey Presents: Their Eyes Were Watching God
3 Hours

Cast:
Halle Berry: Janie Crawford
Michael Ealy: Tea Cake
Ruben Santiago Hudson: Joe

Credits:
Production Company: Harpo Films, Inc.

Academy Award�-winning actress Halle Berry stars in this timeless, lyrical and passionate story of love, marriage and justifiable homicide: the drama of a strong woman's quest for sensual and spiritual fulfillment, and of her refusal to conform to expectation.

"All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time."

On his 83rd birthday, Eddie, a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park, dies in a tragic accident trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. With his final breath, Eddie feels two small hands in his - and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife where, one by one, five people in his life illuminate the unseen connections of his time spent on earth.

Was Eddie's life a heroic success or a devastating failure? Only heaven knows in this larger-than-life tale filled with warmth and wisdom from a gifted storyteller.
