Melo thriving in supporting role for Lakers On Christmas Day, Dec. 25, NBA fans will find the gift of basketball under their tree – about 13 hours of it, in fact, in games televised nationally. Probably the centerpiece match-up of the annual holiday quintupleheader comes in prime time on ESPN, when one of the West’s better teams, the Los Angeles Lakers, defend the home court of the just-renamed Crypto.com Arena from the No. 1 team in the East, the Brooklyn Nets. And under the Lakers’ tree has been one of the more pleasant surprises of the 2021-22 season – the resurgence of Carmelo Anthony, albeit in a limited role. Through the season’s first two months, the 10-time All-Star and 2013 scoring champ has been deadly from three-point range, hitting on about 44 percent of his shots from beyond the arc. Of course, that’s a pace that’s hard to maintain but the fact that at age 37 he’s still doing it is remarkable in itself. This, after all, was a man who was essentially out of the game in 2018 after refusing to accept that he was no longer the go-to guy. As a former star and an almost-certain Hall-of-Famer, agreeing to a reduced role is a hard pill to swallow. But the fact that he’s done it not only has gained him the further respect of teammates and opponents, but also the gratitude of the Laker faithful. On a star-studded Lakers roster, Anthony fits in well as an uber-valuable sixth man, able to rebound and score proficiently. And his 19 years of NBA experience will certainly serve him and his team as they drive for a playoff berth.

Sam Elliott takes viewers back to ‘1883’ in new ‘Yellowstone’ prequel
BY JAY BOBBIN
Especially with so few Westerns being made now, it’s little surprise that a new one would hold great appeal for Sam Elliott. However, there was an extra lure for the “A Star Is Born” Oscar nominee: the writing of Taylor Sheridan, the co-creator of the successful series “Yellowstone,” which now is yielding a Paramount+ prequel with the Elliott-starring “1883.” Premiering Sunday, Dec. 19, the drama casts him as a late-19th-century cowboy who guides settlers from Texas to Montana. Among them, played by music-superstar spouses Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, are ancestors of John Dutton .... Kevin Costner’s “Yellowstone” character. (The premiere will be simulcast on Paramount Network.) “We started at the end of August in 100-plus-degree weather in Texas,” the friendly, famously deep-voiced Elliott says of the filming. It took him away from his actress wife Katharine Ross (both appeared in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”), and he reports, “It was grueling for everyone. It meant wearing wool, so it was tough. And we’ve headed since to Montana, where we’re likely to get snowed on.” Elliott notes his “1883” character, Shea Brennan, is “carrying a heavy load” from his family history and serving in the Civil War. The actor appreciates that “Taylor writes these arias that are gifts. It’s not just

the words (Brennan) says but where they come from, and it’s great playing someone who has more going on than meets the eye.” Before “1883” started production, Elliott hadn’t met Hill and McGraw. “They went to a ‘cowboy camp,’ because a lot of people hadn’t ridden horses when we started this thing – and when I got to Texas and joined them, everyone was in the mood. I hadn’t ridden a horse in 20 years, and I was very leery about it, but it’s like riding a bicycle. You never forget how, but with that said, you’ve got to get back in condition and be confident.” Once a star of such shows as “Mission: Impossible” and “The Yellow Rose,” Elliott has been involved in streaming series such as “The Ranch” and “Grace and Frankie” more recently, but those didn’t entail the work demands “1883” does. Still, he maintains, “I’m up to it. It’s been a while since I’ve done something like this, but based on the fact that it was Taylor Sheridan, there was no passing on it.” Elliott admits he hasn’t been a viewer of “Yellowstone,” but he notes that where “1883” is concerned, “I’ve had great fortune in that genre from the beginning. I’ve always felt a good Western has three classic elements: man against man, man against nature, and man against himself. And here it is again, particularly man against himself, in this character.”
in focus “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts” (HBO Max — movie premiere, Jan. 1, 2022) Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and other cast members join filmmaker Chris Columbus as they travel back to Hogwarts for the first time to celebrate the anniversary of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” the first of eight films in the franchise, which was released in 2001. (ORIGINAL) “Guy’s Chance of a Lifetime” (Food Network — series premiere, Jan. 2, 2022) Host Guy Fieri puts seven aspiring candidates through an intensive “job interview” to determine which should become the owner of Fieri’s latest location for his Chicken Guy! franchise in this new six-episode reality competition series. The winner must prove they can lead every aspect of a food business, from culinary to marketing and front-of-house hospitality. In the premiere, after introducing the candidates, Guy challenges them on the cooking line, where they must learn every station and prepare every item on the menu.
December 19 - 25, 2021
“Judge Steve Harvey” (ABC — series premiere, Jan. 4, 2022) He’s hosted game shows, talk shows and beauty pageants, as well as starred in his own sitcom. Now Steve Harvey gets to play judge, jury and star of this unconventional new onehour unscripted courtroom comedy. As in other court shows, real-life plaintiffs with real-life conflicts appear before “Judge Steve” to argue their cases.

The memories! The colors! Toto, too! Almost every child knows the story of Dorothy and her faithful dog blown by a twister to the magical land of Oz. Judy Garland stars as a more mature version of Dorothy in this 1939 clas≠ sic adaptation of L. Frank Baumí s book. She and Toto follow the yellow brick road, making friends with an unlikely trio along the way. Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Margaret Ham≠ ilton and Frank Morgan co≠st ar. An encore air≠ ing immediately follows; this perennial favorite also airs Saturday on TBS.
Season 4 ended just a few weeks ago, in October, but Season 5 of this steamy soap reboot kicks off tonight with two back≠to≠back episodes. In the aftermath of Falloní s (Eliza≠ beth Gillies) shooting by her unstable former assistant, estranged hubby Liam (Adam Huber) turns to Sam and Kirby (Rafael de la Fuente, Maddison Brown) for help. Elsewhere, Adam (Sam Underwood) is deeply suspicious about his long≠l ost sister Amanda (Eliza Bennett), who shares his mistrust. Elaine Hendrix and Grant Show also star. A new holiday≠themed episode follows.
After her recent city council campaign ends in a mortifying loss, Julia (Jacky Lai) returns to her hometown of North Falls for Christmas, which includes drowning her humiliation in eggnog, cookies and other pleasures of the season. Too late, she realizes that going back home almost inevitably means running into old high school nemesis Parker (Jake Epstein), who defeated her in a bid for class president. Mickeey Nguyen (ìU topia Fallsî), Kara Duncan and Stephanie Herrera co≠star in this holiday romantic comedy.

9:03 p.m. on HIST Great Escapes With Morgan Freeman
Recently renewed for a second season to premiere in 2022, this contemporary reboot of a vintage TV series returns with a special twohour holiday episode called “Welcome to the Snow Globe.” The story finds island host Elena Roarke (Roselyn Sanchez) tested in unexpected ways by a businesswoman’s (guest star Lindsey Kraft) fantasy of a perfect Christmas, which includes meeting “Mr. Right” (guest star Eddie Cahill). Another arrival (guest star Mackenzie Astin) is forced to confront his past, while Ruby and Javier (Kiara Barnes, John Gabriel Rodriguez) look to the future.
Airing as part of a new series of “Song & Story” original dramas inspired by seminal songs, this first entry reflects the themes of challenge and triumph as stated so eloquently in the beloved hymn “Amazing Grace.” Bresha Webb (“The Last O.G.”) stars as Tanner, a gifted artist struggling with some formidable personal obstacles, who forms an unlikely friendship with Iris (Getenesh Berhe), an optimistic store owner. She helps guide Tanner toward forgiveness of her painful past and a way to unlock her inner strength.
Timothy Vail, an inmate at Elmira (N.Y.) State Prison, hatched a scheme to escape from the facility by going across the roof and down the side of the building where he was incarcerated. That plan meant he had to get transferred to a top-floor cell, so he could dig up through the ceiling. He found a willing accomplice in fellow inmate Timothy Morgan, whose cell was on that floor, and the two men began stealthily sneaking tools into their cramped living space to start excavating their escape route. Morgan Freeman hosts the new episode “Fleeing Hellmira.”

7 p.m. on DISN Movie: Disney’s A Christmas Carol One of the most enduring of all holiday stories gets a screen workout from director Robert Zemeckis and Jim Carrey in this inventive retelling. As expected, Carrey plays miser Ebenezer Scrooge, but thanks to the “motion capture” technique Zemeckis also used on “The Polar Express,” the actor takes on several other characters of the Charles Dickens classic as well. Gary Oldman and Colin Firth also lend their likenesses and voices. 8 p.m. on FOOD Christmas Cookie Challenge The Season 5 finale of this baking and decorating competition finds Santa Claus recruiting new an-

9 p.m. on AMC Movie: The Polar Express Director Robert Zemeckis’ animated 2004 interpretation of Chris Van Allsburg’s holiday story features Tom Hanks in multiple roles through a technique called “motion capture,” which creates a pseudo-real look. Hanks is most recognizable as the conductor of a train that takes a youngster on a wild ride to the North Pole. Also in the voice cast
are Peter Scolari, Michael Jeter, Steven Tyler and Josh Hutcherson. 9 p.m. on SHOW Movie: The Survivalist Jon Keeyes’ 2021 action thriller, which was released directly to video-on-demand platforms, is set in the near future, a year and a half after civilization as we know it fell to the ravages of a deadly outbreak. In this terrifying and violent world, a former FBI agent (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) finds himself tasked with protecting Sarah (Ruby Modine), a vulnerable young woman who appears to be immune to the plague. John Malkovich also stars as Aaron, a psychopathic narcissist who is seeking Sarah for his own agenda. Jon Orsini also is featured.
