2 - TVCC – WEEK OF DECEMBER 15 - DECEMBER 21, 2016 gametime critics’corner crossword fun Disney Prep & Landing Thursday at 8 p.m. on KATU, KEZI Santa’s elves suffer job burnout too. In this charming animated special, Dave Foley gives voice to Wayne, a member of the elite elf team that prepares for and oversees Santa’s arrival at children’s houses. He was hop- ing for a promotion; instead, he has to stay where he is and train an annoyingly overzeal- ous new assistant (voice of Derek Richardson). Of course, no Christmas special would be complete without a crisis and a lesson to be learned. The 85th Annual Holly- wood Christmas Parade Friday at 8 p.m. on KWBP Even if there isn’t snow on the ground in Southern California, the season is celebrated there by personalities who wave from cars to spectators lined up along Hollywood Boulevard. Erik Estrada, Laura McKenzie, Dean Cain and Montel Wil- liams host this year’s edition of the telecast, with veteran music star and sometimes actress (“Grease”) Olivia Newton-John serving as Grand Marshal. The event also includes musical performances and character balloons. Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet to Come Tuesday at 9 p.m. on KGW, KOBI Still going strong professionally, one of music’s most legendary singers is honored for his mile- stone birthday (which actually was in August) in this new spe- cial. Lady Gaga — who’s been Bennett’s very evident crooning partner in recent times — turns out to perform on the occasion, as do Michael Buble, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel, Elton John, Diana Krall, k.d. lang, Rufus Wainwright and Stevie Won- der.
