This week we will enjoy a selection of holiday programming, which pretty much means the regular stuff is taking a break for Christmas movie repeats and bowl games. Amidst all the "you'll shoot your eye out" and unpaid football players, the holiday itself is actually going to be a bonanza if you prefer your TV with a UK flavor. If you've been enjoying the Twilight Zone-ish Black Mirror on Netflix, (if you haven't, go watch it right now) then you may be happy to know this year's holiday special episode featuring Mad Men star Jon Hamm will air in the US, but only on DirecTV's Audience channel (or... other sources).
Otherwise, there's Call the Midwife and Vicious on PBS, while BBC America has Doctor Who. Amazon is launching its new show Mozart in the Jungle this week, while Hulu kicks off the next season of The Wrong Mans. Finally, Charlie Sheen's post-Two and a Half Men comedy Anger Management wraps up its run with the 200th episode on FX -- did anyone really watch them all? Look after the break to check out each day's highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).
