| Bee Gees, "Stayin' Alive" |
Happy Hanukah! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, December 12!
Tonight's Top Pick is the HBO documentary on the Bee Gees... because I love disco. And the Bee Gees, though the Gibbs brothers did plenty of music outside of the disco genre. The HBO doc will look at their rise and how it was working with family.
Elsewhere, Danger Force meets Santa, Lifetime takes a turn at making Christmas gay, Syfy takes a turn at Christmas movies, and TimothΓ©eee meets the Not Ready for Primetime Players.
