The Mickey Mouse club
People looking for a cheap, early winter vacation can take unlimited rides at two of the country's most beloved amusement parks, "Disney's Animal Kingdom" (7 p.m.) and "Ultimate Walt Disney World" (8 p.m.). OK, it's not the same as being there, but the price is reasonable. Discovery Family Channel
Spare the Rod
Rod Taylor may have never been on the A list, but he came pretty close through a variety of roles that did more than show off his chiseled face. Catch him in a marathon that includes Alfred Hitchcock's classic "The Birds" (7 p.m.), Taylor's breakthrough film "The Time Machine" (9:15 p.m.) and the romantic comedy "Sunday in New York" (1:15 a.m.) opposite Jane Fonda. TCM
Meet the parents
You may choose to celebrate "Parenthood" (9 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11) as it winds down its critically acclaimed run. Or you may opt for "Parenthood" (9 p.m. Nick Jr.), the 1989 original movie starring Steve Martin as the beleaguered father. Whatever you do, skip the 1990 TV version that consisted of 12 episodes, even though the cast included Leonardo DiCaprio.Neal Justin
