What’s Hot On TV Tonight - How the Grinch Stole Christmas X2
It has to be the Christmas season as we have the Grinch on twice tonight, both the cartoon, and the live version with Jim Carrey. It seems kind of early to me for this to be on, but I guess that means I need to get out there and start my shopping and decorating.
1. The Ellen deGeneres Show. Guests today include Dr. Drew Pinsky, who will hopefully shed light on what the heck is up with Gary Busey, a 9-year-old author, and David Cook. Syndicated, check local listings.
2. Firehouse Dog. This is such a cute movie about an actor dog that gets loose and winds up running the streets, found by a fire department chief’s son. No one knows he’s a big time star, and they don’t realize the reason behind all his awesome tricks, as he just seems so perfectly made for the business of fighting fires. Plus, he looks like one of my dogs. 5:30 PM CT HBO West
3. Chuck. Chuck tries to keep his mind off being betrayed by using his spy work as a coping mechanism. Casey discovers his mentor has become a rogue agent, and Awesome’s parents show up for a visit.

8. How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Nothing fails to put me in the Christmas mood like the carton version of this story. There’s just something about all those little Whos standing in a circle holding hands around the Christmas tree singing “Welcome Christmas” that gets to me every time. 7:30 PM CT ABC
