Saturday night at 9, Lifetime offers "Flirting with Forty," the story of a divorced mother (Heather Locklear) who is turning 40.

Her best friend, played by Vanessa Williams (not "Ugly Betty" Vanessa, the other one) gives her a first-class ticket to Hawaii (mental note: must upgrade to better friends) where she meets a 28-year-old hunk (played by Robert Buckley, the cougar bait on "Lipstick Jungle") and they fall madly in love.

Some complications, (mean ex-husband, hunk won't come to the mainland, her friends think she's crazy, blah blah blah) and she throws off her sweats, gets a backbone and learns life can begin at 40.

It's perfectly charming.

But two quibbles: 

No one wants to remember their mean moments from high school. Not even Liz Lemon, who envisions herself as the nerdy outsider persecuted by the cool kids.

Perhaps channeling some of Tina Fey's leftover bits from her 2004 movie "Mean Girls," "30 Rock" took Liz back to White Haven, Pa. for her 20-year high school reunion Thursday. In addition to some painful reminders that we too listened to INXS and Simple Minds in the late 1980s, the episode unleashes Liz's snark on her revenge-minded classmates.

Little Women (Turner Classic Movies) - The super-old Katherine Hepburn version (1933) of the Louisa May Alcott story is on at 8pm. The moderately old Elizabeth Taylor version (1949) is on at 10pm. For the sake of continuity, I wish I could say the newer Winona Ryder version (1994) is on at midnight, but it's not. That would be The Man Who Came to Dinner, which is also a good holiday film starring Bette Davis.

Frosty the Snowman (8pm, CBS) - Jimmy Durante narrates this classic Christmas tale. Frosty Returns comes on right after at 8:30, but it's a weak sequel in my view (John Goodman narrating). Kids will still like it.

The Flight Before Christmas (9pm, CBS) - It's about a reindeer with vertigo who wants to make Santa's team. But after reading some reviews, I don't think it's great for little kids so I can't recommend it (several parents online said the plot line about wolves trying to eat Santa's reindeer disturbed their children, which is understandable). This is going in the What NOT to watch pile.

Lipstick Jungle (9pm, NBC) - A new timeslot can't hurt, right? Be sure to tune in tonight at 9pm instead of 10pm, and maybe we can save this show! NBC execs say if ratings increase in these last few episodes, there's hope for more. Keep hope alive.

We love episodes of "The Office" that don't fritter away the whole half-hour on "Michael misses Holly" or "will Jim and Pam's love survive design school?"

So it was a relief Thursday night to see Dunder Mifflin's Scranton gang focus on an issue far more important than any romantic entanglements. Namely, the neverending debate over what's more valuable in an office setting: chairs or copy machines?

On her show today, Bonnie Hunt beat Barbara Walters to the punch and listed her Ten Most Fascinating People list. Some of our favorite TV folks made her list.

It was so gratifying watching Aunt Lilly pull a shotgun on evil Dwight and blow him to bits.

And of course, disappointing when it was all just fantasy, because if anyone ever deserved being blown to bits, it's Dwight.

But it worked out in the end (for us, not for Dwight). Chuck's jaw-dropping decision to keep her un-dead father alive, even though the consequences meant someone else would have to die in his place, ended up killing Dwight after all.

Whew. Just when I was lamenting the lack of satisfying violence on television.

With a week off for a recap clip show, there's a fresh new sense about our potential stylistas.

OK, not really. The week picks off just like always: Kate.

This time, it's Johanna spewing. If you remember, our military analyst had taken on Kate as her project. Everybody hates Kate so I will show that Kate only need a good handler, Johanna thought.

But that didn't work out too well. Kate came out a star and Johanna ended up looking like a loser and breaking down in tears.

This week, Johanna says she thinks Kate should have gone home, instead of Danielle. "I wanted to show I could work for someone difficult and there was no reward for that." Actually sweetie, a good deed is its own reward.

The Office and 30 Rock (9pm & 9:30, NBC) - Always good bets. The folks at the Scranton office fight about how to spend a $4300 surplus, and Jack goes with Liz to her high school reunion.

Barbara Walters 10 Most Fascinating People (10pm, ABC) - Ready yourself for soft lights and lots of fawning. Babs interviews some of 2008's biggest names, but with 10 people in about 45 minutes, don't expect tons of depth. And there are always a couple of puzzling picks in her Most Fascinating list. Tom Cruise? Rush Limbaugh? Really?

Daily Show (11pm, Comedy Central) - Little Opie Cunningham (Ron Howard) promotes his new movie, Frost/Nixon. 

I had to dive into basic cable to find a holiday special to promote today. I'm going with Polar Express at 8pm on Disney, with a runner-up nod to Tim Allen's The Santa Clause at 8pm (and again at 10pm) on TBS.

When we read the headline on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution eviction article, NeNe Leakes was definitely not the first housewife we thought of. But yes, the AJC is reporting that NeNe and her husband Greg have been evicted from their McMansion in Duluth, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta.

NeNe "I don't keep up with the Joneses, I am the Joneses" Leakes suddenly thinks after inviting cameras to record her entire life, that where she lives is "none of our business." Don't you love it when people volunteer to go on reality shows and then complain about their lack of privacy?

NeNe was the breakout star and fan favorite from Bravo's

WRAL is reporting that longtime sportscaster and local broadcasting legend Tom Suiter is stepping down from the lead sports anchor spot.

Here's a nice interview Suiter did last month with Vype.
