Whats Hot On TV

The answer is February 12, and right now that seems like a long time away. It’s just hard to look at everything on the schedule tonight being new, except for one glaring omission, the first hour of primetime on CBS. We all know what belongs there. Instead, we have a repeat of CSI, followed by a new episode of it in the second hour. We have to face three empty Thursdays until it returns. A cast list is now up, meaning it’s not too far away.

1. Racing Stripes. Hayden Panettiere stars as a girl growing up on a horse farm that begins taking care of a zebra (voiced by Frankie Muniz), who doesn’t realize he’s not a horse and wants to race with the others at the track. The voices of Dustin Hoffman, Joe Pantoliano, and Whoopi Goldberg are included as well. It’s a good film for kids. 10:15 AM CT HBO Comedy

2. Fracture. Anthony Hopkins is great as usual in this psychological thriller as an engineer that commits the perfect murder of his wife, nearly teasing the investigators to figure out his crime. Ryan Gosling stars as the prosecutor. 1:30 PM CT HBO 2 East
