Movie: Mean GirlsA naive teen (Lindsay Lohan) starts public school and is befriended by the elite girls clique and two outsiders — gay Damian (Daniel Franzese) and nonconformist Janis (Lizzy Caplan).

CristelaCharismatic comedian Cristela Alonzo is pretty much a force of nature, a fact that sold ABC on this showcase for her personality and talents.

The sitcom’s “Pilot” introduces the on-screen Cristela as a law student working against her Mexican-American family’s lower expectations for her life and career as she sets her own course for success. Carlos Ponce, Terri Hoyos and Sam McMurray also are featured — but there’s no room for doubt that this is Alonzo’s show.

8 p.m. on * CBS

A Home for the HolidaysThe annual special that combines musical performances with stories of adoption features Jennifer Hudson, Train, Rixton, Katharine McPhee — who’s sung only fleetingly in her regular role on “Scorpion” — and Earth, Wind & Fire among the headliners in this 16th edition. Two families from Los Angeles and one from Birmingham, Ala., are among those showcased in the informational segments. Ashley Monroe, Jillian Michaels and Dan & Shay also appear.

Veronica Roth’s novel of a world divided by people’s personal traits translates well to film, sparked by Shailene Woodley’s fine performance as young heroine Tris. She learns she encompasses several of the dividing qualities, thus making her a Divergent — and a danger to her society’s rulers, or so they perceive it. Along with an enigmatic mentor (Theo James), she goes on the run. Kate Winslet, Ray Stevenson, Tony Goldwyn (“Scandal”), Ashley Judd and Maggie Q (“Stalker”) also appear in the 2014 film.

BonesBooth (David Boreanaz) is behind bars in “The Conspiracy in the Corpse.” His colleagues try to clear him by probing the matter that put him in prison, a man’s death 16 years earlier. Booth has to face vengeful convicts he helped put away — and he might not have it much easier once he’s out, thanks to an FBI man (guest star John Boyd, “Argo”) who’s eager to prove himself. The story includes what originally came as a shocking twist to the show’s fans.

In Focus “God Particles,” www. godparticles.tv Why does it take disaster — or the threat thereof — to get people to take control of their lives?

That’s the question posed by TV critic Leland Montgomery’s new web series that follows four disaffected Los Angeles millennials who do just that as they face the possibility of doomsday brought on by scientists’ attempts to create the God particle. Carissa Cash, Zoe Chao, Claire Kaplan, Jack Mikesell and Montgomery are among the cast members.

In Focus “Smash Up,” www. youtube.com/user/AstronautsWantedTV Somewhat reminiscent of skits on “Late Night With David Letterman” in the late 1980s, this series from the social media group Astronauts Wanted gives voice to viewers with frustrations to vent. But where Letterman steam-rolled things like the balanced breakfast or a Smurf, this features Scotty Sire taking a sledgehammer to random objects such as a paint-filled piggy bank while reciting gripes (back-stabbing friends, slow walkers, waking up too early) sent in by viewers. Anyone feel better yet?

“The Muthaship,” www.youtube. com/channel/ UCAKaUMPv7RWiy3jfhbbSK2Q This new reality series follows actress Drea de Matteo as the former “Sopranos” Emmy winner tries to get her life back on track after a divorce, going broke and losing her father. The opening episode introduces the cast of characters around her, which include her musician boyfriend, her children, their nanny, friends and exes. Ensuing installments show Drea learning to drive, taking yoga lessons and cracking the whip on her boyfriend to finish some songs he’d been working on.

‘THE CHEW’S’

Carla Hall on avoiding holiday disasters

Nothing can inspire fear in the newbie holiday chef quite like cooking a turkey.

In addition to being a large, physically imposing dish, it’s such a high-profile meal that if you over or undercook it, the day could be ruined – which, of course, your family will never let you live down.

It’s why Carla Hall of ABC’s weekday culinary series “The Chew,” created a video that was packaged with holiday dinners sold by the Fairway Market chain that walks cooks through the process.

“It was step by step,” Hall says. “I said, ‘This is what you do on Wednesday.’ And so I had them do a dry brine, put the veggies in the cavity, put the butter under the skin.

I’m like, ‘OK, that’s 15 minutes of work. That’s what you do on Wednesday.’ And then the next part, ‘OK, it’s Thursday. You’re going to pull your turkey out. You need five hours from this point until you want your turkey. “ ‘Pull it out but leave it out for at least 45 minutes on the counter. Turn the oven on, put that baby in there.’ And I just stepped them through it. And I think having a video of someone telling you exactly what to do, it was as if I was there ... . And they all said that it turned out. But it was scary – a lot of pressure.”

As for common holiday meal mistakes, Hall says, “The biggest mistake (people) make is they don’t plan according to the space in the oven,” she says. “So I would say that you plan a meal based on what can be done on top of the stove. And literally get the pots out and put them on the stove. And then aside from the meat, which can sit out and rest, put everything else in the oven and see what space you have and have some room-temperature things. If you have to do a crockpot ... do that. Timing is what people get messed up, in terms of everything coming out on time and hot – or cold.”

What book are you currently reading?

“I just finished ‘Pilgrim.’ And I just got another ... ‘Unstuff Your Life: Kick the Habit of Clutter.’ (Laughs) It’s really great going into the new year.”

What did you have for dinner last night?

“I actually went to the Plaza Food Hall (in Manhattan) ... and I had Peking duck buns, prosciutto and fig pizza, some octopus and some salad.”

What is your next project?

“I am working on opening a restaurant here in Manhattan, and it’s Carla Hall’s Southern Kitchen, Nashville’s Hot Chicken and Southern Sides. So fingers crossed that it’s late spring/early summer.”

When was the last vacation you took, where and why?

“Canyon Ranch (in Tucson, Ariz.). It was the summer, and that trip was about every day doing something I’d never done before. So I did the climbing wall, I did the high ropes challenge, I did a level four hike, I did Zumba. (laughs) ... It was scary but it was something that was so awesome about being scared and then doing it anyway.”

AL ROKER

BY GEORGE DICKIE

OF ‘TODAY’ ON NBC AND ‘WAKE UP WITH AL’ ON THE WEATHER CHANNEL

Carmelo Anthony

Take five with the NBA on Christmas Day The toys have been opened, played with and broken, Christmas dinner is in the oven and relatives are beginning to arrive.

That’s the sports fan’s cue to tune out by tuning in on Thursday, Dec. 25, to a quintupleheader of NBA action on national television that promises, if nothing else, to provide a welcome afternoon and evening of distraction from all the holiday kerfuffle.

The day’s slate starts at midday (ET) on ESPN, when Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks welcome into Madison Square Garden John Wall and the Washington Wizards.

While the Knicks are still trying to get their legs underneath them with new players, a new coach and a new system, the Wizards lead the Southeast Division thanks to the strong play of point guard Wall and center Marcin Gortat.

Then it’s over to ABC for a midafternoon clash of Western Conference playoff contenders when Tony Parker and the San Antonio Spurs defend home court from Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder. While the Thunder have struggled without the services of injured All-Stars Kevin Durant and the just-returned Westbrook, the Spurs have thrived by doing what the Spurs do best: play defense, rebound and distribute the ball.

Immediately following at dinnertime on ABC is a Christmas reunion of sorts, as LeBron James returns to the city where he won two NBA championships when he and the Cleveland Cavaliers drop in on Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat. The Cavs have run hot and cold in the season’s opening months while trying to integrate new acquisitions James and Kevin Love into their system, while the Heat have held their own without the man known as “The King.”

Then it’s over to TNT in prime time for a clash of teams with opposing fortunes as Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers drop in on Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. While the Lakers have been a team adrift with one of the worst starts in franchise history, the Central-leading Bulls have played well when their starting unit is healthy – a trend they hope continues.

The evening wraps up on TNT with probably the day’s best matchup, as Stephen Curry leads the Golden State Warriors into Staples Center to face Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers in a showcase of elite Western Conference teams and point guards.

Doing your dual duty on ‘Today’ and ‘Wake Up With Al,’ which involves very early hours and sometimes tricky logistics, how have weekday mornings been going for you?

You know, a lot of people have the same dance and the same early hours. My dad was a bus driver and worked these hours, so it’s all good, to be able to broadcast into people’s homes and drill down and really be able to give them a detailed forecast on The Weather Channel.

And then on ‘Today,’ you’re sitting next Neil Diamond and Lionel Richie and talking to Alicia Keys. You just go down the list, and it’s pretty amazing.

How was it for you to return recently to your alma mater, the State University of New York at Oswego, to participate in a “media summit” with Charlie Rose among others?

It was a hoot. Let’s face it, you’re coming back a little different than when you left. We all have – well, maybe we all don’t, but I do – this dream of coming back as kind of a big deal and a success, and you get to come back and you’re a success. And people appreciate it. And that’s a good thing.

Are you happy about the bounty of activity that your wife, ABC reporter Deborah Roberts, has had lately?

Yeah, she’s very busy, doing stuff not only for “20/20” now but also for “Nightline” and “Good Morning America” and “World News Tonight.” She’s very good at what she does, and thankfully, they recognize that at ABC News.

BEST ‘A CHRISTMAS STORY’ MOMENTS

The opening scene There isn’t enough space here for everything we love about this 1983 movie – which gets its annual 24-hour marathon from both TBS and TNT starting Wednesday, Dec. 24 – but we’ll start at the beginning, with youngsters’ faces pressed up against the front window of a department store as they marvel at the holiday display.

The maternal warning “You’ll shoot your eye out,” says Mom (Melinda Dillon) to Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) about the Red Ryder air rifle he wants so desperately.

The too-tight snowsuit Ralphie’s little brother Randy (Ian Petrella) has a tough time keeping up with the older kids, then in just trying to get up when he falls down.

The malfunctioning furnace Ralphie’s dad (Darren McGavin) engages in a classic battle with the household heater, with plentiful smoke

– and what sounds like swearing – emanating from the cellar.

The mashed potatoes Reluctant eater Randy becomes “Mommy’s little piggy” by plopping his entire face in his plate, then laughing and snorting like a you-know-what.

The tongue stuck to the flagpole Flick (Scott Schwartz) can’t turn his back on being “triple-dogdared,” and any fan of the film knows what happens next.

The dream sequences In Ralphie’s mind, the Western outlaws who raid his family’s home prove how valuable his having the air rifle would be.

The leg lamp So popular that you actually can buy a working replica of it, this fishnet-stocking-clad contest prize is cherished by Ralphie’s dad and despised by his mom.

The schoolyard fight Ralphie finally strikes back against bully Farkus (Zack Ward), and the result is one of

BY JAY BOBBIN

the movie’s most touching moments ... truly with no pun intended.

The visit to the departmentstore Santa Ralphie makes every nanosecond count in telling an impatient pseudo-Kris Kringle what he wants for Christmas, the result being a very famous backward exit.

The pink bunny outfit Well, Ralphie’s aunt made it for him, and Mom insists that he wear it.

The ultimate gift for Ralphie (Spoiler alert, but most people probably know already ... ) Things turn out as they should for our young hero that Christmas.

The Chinese restaurant Or, what happens when the planned turkey dinner at home meets with disaster.

The closing scene The shot is so perfect, idyllic and heartwarming, you can’t wait for the movie to start again.

Which it does, 11 times, during its holiday marathon.

“Shrek the Halls” 7 p.m. on # ABC

Shrek the HallsWhat’s not to love about a Christmas special starring a family of green ogres? Shrek (voice of Mike Myers) isn’t a Christmas kind of guy, but Fiona (voice of Cameron Diaz) loves the holiday, so he goes along — with a little help from Donkey (voice of Eddie Murphy) and the rest of the fairy-tale gang. If this special doesn’t join Rudolph, Frosty and the Grinch in the pantheon of holiday classics, something’s wrong with the world.

7 p.m. on & NBC

One Direction: The TV SpecialThe members of the wildly popular band One Direction — Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson — present their first network TV special in a new hour that provides a candid look at the group via documentary and performance footage drawn from the South American leg of their recent tour. The special also goes behind the scenes as the band records its recent release “Four” and performs for fans at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida.

8 p.m. on # ABC

The Year: 2014ABC News’ now-annual recap of the preceding 12 months finds host Robin Roberts and others, including David Muir and George Stephanopoulos, showcasing major stories and personalities of that time span.

The Mindy ProjectFor many couples, the holiday season has been made that much more memorable by marriage proposals, and Mindy (Mindy Kaling) wonders if her turn is about to come in an episode called, simply, “Christmas.”

Thinking Danny (Chris Messina) might be about to pop the big question, she tries to get her thoughts and emotions in order in case that moment arrives.

Morgan (Ike Barinholtz) has a great date — mainly because he’s thought to be someone else.

Julia Stiles guest stars.

Bob’s BurgersIt’s no surprise that youngsters want as much candy as they can get on Halloween, but size truly does matter to the Belcher children in “Full Bars.” Upon discovering one neighborhood is known for issuing regular-size candy bars, as opposed to the smaller versions often handed out to trickor-treaters, they head straight for that block. Bob and Linda (voices of H. Jon Benjamin and John Roberts) go to a seasonal party with a black-and-orange motif.

Movie: Black NativityThis holiday-themed 2013 drama — a revision of a Langston Hughes play — casts Jacob Latimore as a Baltimore teen sent by his much-challenged mother (Jennifer Hudson) to spend time with his grandparents (Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett), whose method of tough love isn’t to his liking. Ultimately, though, he benefits from their life lessons. Mary J. Blige, Tyrese Gibson and Vondie Curtis-Hall also perform for director Kasi Lemmons (Curtis-Hall’s wife).

Movie: A Christmas Story“You’ll shoot your eye out!” Peter Billingsley stars in this 1983 comedy as the little boy who yearns to find a Red Ryder BB gun under the Christmas tree. Not just a Christmas story, it’s about parents, little brothers, bullies, decoder rings, double dog dares and most of all, the workings of a youthful mind. Jean Shepherd’s writing captures it all perfectly.

Darren McGavin also stars in this holiday favorite, which airs as a 24-hour marathon starting tonight on both TNT and its sister station, TBS.

7:30 p.m. on # ABC

The GoldbergsMurray (Jeff Garlin) is dreading a Thanksgiving visit from Marvin (Dan Fogler), his brother, who always stresses the family out on holidays.

NOVAIn “Building the Great Cathedrals,” filmmakers take viewers on a breathtaking journey inside some of these jewels of Gothic architecture and reveal how builders in the Middle Ages were able to construct edifices of such dizzying heights using only simple hand tools.

BY MIKE MARIN

in a reader’s WESTERN INSOMNIA I received a letter a little while ago from Marty Gross in Connecticut. He echoes my sentiments so closely I decided to take a week off and reprint it here in its entirety. Enjoy: Last night, I could not sleep. I kept thinking “What happened to the Western?” Is this strange?

There is this cable channel that airs Western movies and TV series. Watching some of the old shows, like early “Gunsmoke,” is almost like encountering time travel. The actors are youthful and alive and the stories have decent plots and character development. The actual “smoking guns” are kept to a minimum. Oh, and I am a kid again, watching in black and white.

Skies are huge, the vistas vast, the country open. With the exception of the sound stages, they are real places. Towns are dirty and dusty. The saloons are crowded and noisy. People are drinking and boisterous. There is a card game or two going on. There are loners ... men with character ... who believe in some sort of fairness. They stand up for their beliefs. The language is colorful. No one talks this way anymore. If I said to my neighbor, “Howdy, Hoss,” he would turn his water hose on me. Even the horses are honest. (And you don’t smell their manure on TV.) So, what happened?

The characters who most closely resemble Western heroes today are in comic books. Why do they have to be fantasy types? Why do we seem so turned off by a real person who actually stands for something? Why do we have to create these incredible fantasy scenic wonders? Why do we have to constantly be dazzled by special effects, when the best stories are about real people dealing with real problems?

I would take some smelly horse manure over a wise cracking cartoon character any day.
