Everything's OK

In "Kristin Chenoweth: Coming Home," the tiny woman with a giant voice belts out "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "Popular" and "I Could Have Danced All Night" to a hometown audience in Broken Arrow, Okla. Diehard fans should note that the singer will return to Broadway next year for "On the Twentieth Century," playing a role originated by her idol, Madeline Kahn. 8 p.m. Friday, TPT, Ch. 2

Pompom politics

Roseanne Barr, the mother of all curmudgeons, hosts "Momsters: When Moms Go Bad," a new series featuring parents who will do anything for their child's happiness. First up: a re-investigation of Wanda Holloway, who hired someone to kill a teenager who threatened to take her daughter's spot on the cheerleading squad. 9 p.m. Friday, Investigation Discovery

The host with the most

Anne Heche tries to keep control during the holiday from heck in "One Christmas Eve," a film in which she tries to throw the best Christmas ever for her family — with disastrous results. Let's hope the actress can show off the comedy chops she displayed early in her career. It's time for a Heche revival! 7 p.m. Sunday, Hallmark

Scat cat

Aubrey Plaza, who plays one of TV's most morose characters on "Parks and Recreation," foists her depression on the world's most famous kitty in "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever," a new live-action movie that dares the Ebenezer Scrooge of animals to find some holiday joy. 7 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime
