Hello deli

Emmy-winning composer Walter Murphy contributes some delightful musical numbers to the animated special "How Murray Saved Christmas," a modern-day Charles Dickens tale about a cranky deli owner who must fill in for Santa at the last minute. Jerry Stiller, Sean Hayes and Jason Alexander are among the actors lending their pipes. 7 p.m. Friday, KARE, Ch. 11

Because the night

There's a reason they call him the Boss. What else but "A Tribute to Bruce Spring­steen" could attract such diverse talent as Elton John ("Streets of Philadelphia"), Sting ("Lonesome Day"), Neil Young ("Born in the U.S.A.") and Mavis Staples ("My City in Ruins"). Springsteen himself closes out the festivities. 8 p.m. Friday, TPT, Ch. 2

The naked truth

In a celebrity version of "Naked and Afraid," Seth Rogen and James Franco really test their friendship by spending 21 days in the wilderness together without food, water or clothes. Worst nudist camp ever. 7 p.m. Sunday, Discovery

One of us

Honorary Minnesotan Howard Deutch directs the last two episodes this season of the woefully underappreciated "Getting On," the downbeat comedy about a geriatrics hospital struggling to keep a heartbeat. We sort of claim Deutch as one of our own since he a) directed "Grumpier Old Men," b) married Rochester native Lea Thompson and c) may produce a crime drama for HBO set in Stillwater. 9:30 p.m. Sunday, HBO
