It's a TV rule: Lifetime movies are at their best when they feature crazy homicidal types. By 'best' I mean 'most fun'; quality is secondary.

Although "Tallhotblonde" (8 tonight, Lifetime), qualitatively speaking, isn't low rent or anything. But the highlight is the potent creepy/sad/crazy mix that makes it a good, albeit predictable, Saturday night pick.

Based on a true story, the movie follows the adventures of Thomas Montgomery (Garret Dillahunt), a meek and mild-mannered middle-age working class guy and former Marine, married to Carol (Laura San Giacomo) and father of two daughters. Thomas grinds out a routine life; it's not horrid, just mind-numbingly ordinary. Indeed, Thomas' only pleasure is a monthly poker game with work buddies, including much younger Lothario Brian (Brando Eaton).

With one script, NC native Kevin Williamson changed a film genre, revived a veteran director's career and made himself a Hollywood player.

It was the script for the blockbuster film "Scream," and "Scream: The Inside Story" (Bio, 8 tonight) is a lively and fun look at the making and impact of the 1996 film that spawned three sequels ("Scream 4" comes out this month).

With "Brothers and Sisters" now placed in a happy home, we move on to lighter fare.

Today, we offer "Cougar Town: The Complete First Season." That's the Wednesday night ABC show with Courteney Cox that started slow, but has blossomed into a pretty funny show about recently divorced Jules and her band of wine-loving friends.

You'll get 520 minutes of action, plus bloopers, deleted scenes, a look at the show's evolution, a Jimmy Kimmel feature, and Ask Barb and Stroking it With Bobby Cobb. (You have to watch the show to get the last two features.)

But you know what? Because our TV knowledge is vast and deep, we know the man behind "Scrubs," Bill Lawrence is the man behind "Cougar Town," and we have a "Scrubs" DVD...

So we're offering "Scrubs: The Complete Eighth Season," (before everyone left), with 414 minutes of life at Sacred Heart Hospital, including special guest Courteney Cox. The extras include bloopers, deleted scenes, alternative lines, My Bahamas Vacation, and Scrubs Intern webisodes.

Both are yours for an email by 9 tonight (12/9).
