Critic’s corner

December 05, 2009|Matthew Gilbert, Globe Staff

Debbie Macomber’s Mrs. Miracle 8 p.m., Hallmark Channel

This one costars Doris Roberts, from “Everybody Loves Raymond,’’ and James Van Der Beek from “Dawson’s Creek.’’ Talk about your strange bedfellows. The Beek plays a widower who gets some help raising his kids from Roberts’s supernaturally helpful nanny. All together now: Awww.

Alice Tomorrow at 9 p.m., Syfy

The network that stomped all over “The Wizard of Oz’’ a few years ago with “Tin Man’’ now takes on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.’’ Sounds scary - in a bad way. A pouty Alice, played by Caterina Scorsone (above), goes up against the Queen of Hearts, who is drugging her people. Catfight! I’ll hold out for Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,’’ due this spring.

Saturday Night Live 11:30 p.m., Channel 7

Rihanna rings like a bell through the night.

White Christmas 8 p.m., AMC

Go ahead, follow the old man.

Robin Williams: Weapons of Self-Destruction Tomorrow at 9 p.m., HBO

Try, try, try to understand. He’s a manic man.

Invasion of the Christmas Lights Tomorrow at 9 p.m., TLC

E.T. wrap home.

Dexter Tomorrow at 9 p.m., Showtime

The penultimate.
