BY GEORGE DICKIE

Kupp having a season for the ages for playoff-minded Rams To say Cooper Kupp is having a monster season would be gross understatement. It’s positively historic.

Indeed, the Los Angeles Rams’ fifth-year wide receiver has rolled up numbers through his first 10 games that place his 2021 campaign among the NFL’s all-time greats.

Through mid-November, the 6-feet-2-inch third round pick out of Eastern Washington was leading the league in the three major receiving categories – receptions with 85, yards with 1,141 and receiving touchdowns with 10. He was also about to eclipse his own personal full-season marks of 94, 1,161 and 10.

Were he to maintain this pace, he’d join only Hall of Famers Lance Alworth (1966) and Jerry Rice (1990) was well as Sterling Sharpe (1992) and Steve Smith (2005) as wideouts to pull off the receiving hat trick. And if he were to up his average of 114.1 yards per game over the remaining seven regular season games, he’d threaten the all-time single season mark of 1,964 yards set in 2012 by Calvin Johnson, also a Hall of Famer.

Of course, records are always nice but there is immediate, bigger business at hand. The Rams are fighting with the Arizona Cardinals for first place in the NFC West and a possible first round bye in the playoffs. W’s are increasingly important this time of year and Kupp and the Rams need to keep their eyes on the team prize if they want a shot at a Super Bowl run.

Kupp and the Rams can be seen in action Monday, Dec. 13, when they have a showdown on enemy turf with the Cardinals in a game airing on ESPN and ABC. FULL NAME: Cooper Douglas Kupp BIRTH DATE: June 15, 1993 BIRTHPLACE: Yakima, Wash.

Melissa Joan Hart offers ‘Mistletoe in Montana’

BY JAY BOBBIN

Melissa Joan Hart stars in “Mistletoe in Montana” Friday on Lifetime.

Melissa Joan Hart knows what it’s like to direct other actors, so she doesn’t mind being directed by one ... especially if the person is a close friend.

Television’s former “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch” is guided by “Life Goes On” and “ER” alum Kellie Martin in “Mistletoe in Montana,” a Lifetime movie that debuts Friday, Dec. 17. Also an executive producer of the film along with her mother Paula, Hart plays the operator of a ranch resort that a single father (Duane Henry, “NCIS”) visits with his children at holiday time, possibly resulting in romance. Jamey Sheridan (“Law & Order: Criminal Intent”) also stars as the Hart character’s father.

“This movie is actually inspired by my cousin’s true-life experience going to a dude ranch,” Hart explains. “She met a wrangler and fell in love, so this is the flip-flop of that. We were at her wedding in Wyoming last year, and my mother and I were on horseback ... and I said, ‘This would make a great movie.’ And she said, ‘Well, do you want to be the wrangler or the guest?’ And I was like, ‘I wanna be the wrangler, ’cause I wanna really learn how to be a cowgirl.’ ” Hart drew upon a summer of childhood horse-riding lessons, but she says that while making the

movie on location, “I rode as many horses as I could for as long as I could, and learned about different rein techniques and different ways to respond to a horse and how horses respond to you. There were some lessons I went away for and told my husband, ‘I’ll see you in three hours, if you’re lucky. I might not make it back.’ ” Though director Martin starred in 2019’s “Christmas in Montana,” that actually was filmed in Canada, but she’s familiar with Montana as her husband’s home state. After directing a couple of her “Mystery Woman” capers, she notes her latest turn in that seat was “super-challenging.

There’s not a lot of film crew based in Montana, and this particular summer because of the pandemic, a lot of people were like, ‘I want to get away where there are no people. Let’s go to Montana!’ It was surprisingly difficult to shoot there this summer.

“That being said,” adds Martin, “I know Montana so well that I do feel I brought some knowledge about what it is about. I added shots of snowy owls and elk and all the things that make Montana Montana.

It was nice to be able to shoot there, even though we had to acknowledge in the script that it was unseasonably warm. Which, by the way, does happen. Often, they don’t get snow there until after Christmas.”

Tony Award-winning Broadway baritone Brian Stokes Mitchell, a longtime friend of the choir, serves as host, taking viewers on a nostalgic journey from Christmases past to present, remembering some of the highlights of the past two decades.

7 p.m. on LIFE Movie: Maps and Mistletoe

In “European Vacation,” the first of three new food and travel special episodes airing over the holiday season, host Gordon Ramsay reconnects with his highly extroverted chums Gino D’Acampo and Fred Siriex to take another rowdy road trip. This time, the itinerary for this two-hour special takes the trio across Europe, from Italy and France to Scotland. Needless to say, each stop will include time for them to enjoy the best food and recreation their home countries have to offer.

Emilia Martin (Humberly González), a cartographer who creates school maps, plans on spending a quiet Christmas at home until her boss dumps an urgent last-minute assignment on her: designing a novelty treasure map of the North Pole. Instead of just making up the whole thing, Emilia gets ambitious and decides to get advice from an authentic North Pole explorer: Drew Campbell (Ronnie Rowe), who reluctantly agrees to help her. Michael Gordin Shore, Simon Webster and Justine Christensen also star in this Christmas romance.

7 p.m. on WMAQ KWQC WREX WEEK Grand Crew This new ensemble comedy from members of the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” creative team gets a two-episode preview tonight before officially starting its NBC run in early 2022. The show revolves around a close-knit group of young professionals in Los Angeles who always find time to “wine down” at their favorite bar. The gang includes hopeless romantic Noah (Echo Kellum), who’s eager to settle down and Nicky (Nicole Byer), an aggressive real-estate agent who approaches dating fearlessly. Justin Cunningham, Aaron Jennings, Grasie Mercedes and Carl Tart also star. Another episode follows.

This three-part true-crime docuseries — which premieres tonight with two back-to-back episodes, followed by the finale on Wednesday — follows David Raccuglia as he tries to confirm whether convicted killer Chester Weger really murdered three women in 1960, a triple homicide that has sharply divided the community of La Salle County, Ill., for half a century.

Raccuglia’s investigation is complicated by the fact that his father was lead prosecutor in the case, so those who believe Weger was framed regard Raccuglia’s inquiry with deep suspicion.

In the new episode “The Squared Circle,” Veesy (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) convinces a Brooklyn artist to paint a mural for the community center. Meanwhile, Tray (Tracy Morgan) approaches boxer Mark Breland and trainer Teddy Atlas to work with Javi, who lands a fight that conflicts with prom. Josh (Ryan Gaul) doesn’t lose any time before he steps in to help Amira (Taylor Mosby), though. Also: Shahzad (Dante Hoagland) makes a special promposal.

Though you’ve done work on such series as “The Flash” and “True Blood,” you’ve also built your career on cable movies such as the new “Fixing Up Christmas,” in which you play a party planner who lands a big job at holiday time.

Is that mix by design?

They March, so it was still cold, and that include falling for someone, but they’re helped. We actually got some chilly more about being a partner than being weather, which was fun. We had a little rescued by a knight in shining armor. bit of snow, but we did use quite a bit of They’re interesting takes on fairy tales. fake snow.

I really love making these movies. I find it quite an experience to make a film in 12 days. You really have to get it done, for the sake of getting the crew home to their families. I have as much respect as I can for each department, so as the No. 1 person who’s in almost every scene, it

In your films, you have a tendency to play professional women who aren’t necessarily looking for love, but make room for it if it comes along .. which is the case again in “Fixing Up Christmas.” Do you actively seek those kinds of roles?

News Tribune

It’s very far from who I am, actually. Few people who know me would call me a “type-A” personality, but I do enjoy playing a go-getter, and I bring my own sense of “quirky” to many of the roles I play. If you’ve seen any of my work, you can spot the real me in it.

7 p.m. on WMAQ KWQC WREX WEEK Young Rock

8 p.m. on WMAQ KWQC WREX WEEK Mr. Mayor

The coronavirus pandemic delayed production on Season 41 of this iconic reality competition series, but “Survivor” producers took advantage of that on-hold period to freshen the format of their show, which included making the season markedly shorter: 26 days, instead of the traditional 39. Set for the ninth time in Fiji, the season premiered last September with 18 new contestants, among them NFL veteran Danny McCray. Tonight’s three-hour finale will crown the newest “Survivor” champion. Jeff Probst hosts.

A holiday episode called “A Christmas Peril” opens on Christmas Eve 1982, as an unexpected guest reveals to 10-year-old Dewey (Adrian Groulx) that this will just be the first in a long string of lousy Christmases. Five years later, the 1987 holiday season finds Rocky (Joseph Anderson) and teenage Dwayne (Bradley Constant) working at a mall as Santa and his elf. Finally, young adult Dwayne (Uli Latukefu) spends a disastrous Christmas in 1993 with Coach O (recurring guest star Emmett Skilton).

The political comedy returns for a special episode called “Mr. Mayor’s Magical L.A. Christmas,” wherein Mayor Neil Bremer (Ted Danson) is such a slave to his compulsion for gift-giving that he forces his staff to work on what’s known as “L.A. Christmas Eve” so his “perfect gift” will have time to arrive.

Holly Hunter, Vella Lovell, Kyla Kenedy, Mike Cabellon and Bobby Moynihan also star. The series returns in early 2022 for its sophomore season.

It may be the most wonderful time of the year for many people, but for the gallant first responders in the Seattle Fire Department, it’s a stressful season of emergencies and missions of mercy to ensure that visions of sugarplums don’t turn into fiery nightmares. In the seasonal episode “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” however, any personal grievances are set aside as the Station 19 team tries to pull off a Christmas miracle. Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Grey Damon and Barrett Doss star.

Chance (Winny Clarke) is barely keeping her struggling gift shop in business, so as the Christmas shopping season approaches, she accepts a gig with wealthy entrepreneur William (Jacob Blair) to help him plan the perfect marriage proposal to his girlfriend (Celeste Desjardins). William contrives a plan for Chance to attend a Christmas party, posing as an old friend of his family, so Chance can spend time with William’s intended. Sharjil Rasool and Alys Crocker star in this holiday romance.

Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and neurosurgeon David Hamilton (guest star Peter Gallagher) approach a milestone in their project as the doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital celebrate the holidays in the new episode “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.” Elsewhere, Link (Chris Carmack) is dreaming of spending a family Christmas with Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) and baby Scout, while Schmitt (Jake Borelli) is confronted with a difficult decision in the middle of a surgery.

Melissa Joan Hart is both executive producer and star of this holiday romance, which casts her as Merry, the owner of Paradise Ranch, where city slickers go to play vacation cowboys and cowgirls. She’s a successful businesswoman, but romance? Not so much. That may be about to change with the arrival of handsome single father Mark Aguilar (Duane Henry, “NCIS”), who arrives for a visit with his two kids. Jamey Sheridan and Michael Grant Terry (“Bones”) head a superior supporting cast.

This female-driven crime dramedy launches its fourth and final season Sunday, Dec. 19, with a two-hour premiere, but TNT is giving fans a one-hour “sneak peek” at the new season tonight. For those who understandably need a refresher, given that the Season 3 finale aired more than two years ago, the casino that main character Desna Simms (Niecy Nash) and her friends were managing went up in flames via an act of revenge by Quiet Ann (Judy Reyes).

Carrie Preston, Karrueche Tran, Harold Perrineau and Dean Norris will also be back.

The Christmas holidays often bring out a competitive streak in even the friendliest of neighbors, who go all out — and blow up their utility bills — trying to be the most festive house on the block. Of course, when you’re Mike Holmes, you can get the same friendly rivalry going right in your own family, and the yuletide episode “Holmes for the Holidays” follows Holmes, his daughter Sherry and son Michael Jr. as they prove which of them can create the most over-the-top light displays, ice sculptures and gingerbread houses.

Danielle (Cindy Busby), a workaholic designer, returns to her quaint hometown of Holly Pines, where she looks forward to introducing her little boy, Paul, to some of the community’s beloved yuletide traditions. She’s understandably crushed, then, to discover that her favorite among these, the North Pole Express train, has been sidelined. Undaunted, Danielle reconnects with former high school classmate Kevin (Chad Michael Murray), a hobbyist and model train enthusiast, to get the Express up and running. Callum Shoniker co-stars in this 2021 holiday romance.
