What's On Tonight (Thursday): Tale as old as time ...

 

via Tenor; The moment loses something when it's sped up, but, ah, well ...

Tonight's Top Pick is Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration, brought to us by the good, unable to count folks at ABC. Well, at least they were smart enough not to expand the darn thing to three hours.


Let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Dec. 15. All times are EST.
