SERIES DEBUT

Brothers Take New Orleans

HGTV, Wednesday, 9 p.m.

America’s favorite (and maybe only?) pair of home-renovating identical twins, Drew and Jonathan Scott — stars of Property Brothers — head down to New Orleans for a charity-oriented challenge: Renovate a duplex that has remained damaged since Hurricane Katrina.

FLOATS WITH THE MOST

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

NBC, Thursday, 9 a.m.

This year, the holiday festivities will double as an anniversary bash. To celebrate 90 years of marching down the streets of New York City, the Turkey Day parade will feature very special inflatables — including a new 40-foot dog with accordion legs and a 21-foot re-creation of Felix the Cat, the first balloon ever to appear in the parade back in 1927.

TOONS & TUNES

The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration

ABC, Thursday, 8 p.m.

FUNNY GUY

Michael Che Matters

As you’d expect from the current cohost of SNL’s “Weekend Update,” Michael Che’s comedy special is full of topical humor—from gentrification to Black Lives Matter.

FILM FESTIVE

A Heavenly Christmas

HBO, Sunday, 9 p.m.

Shirley MacLaine, Eric McCormack, and Kristin Davis earn their Hallmark wings in this romantic comedy with one foot in the afterlife and the other on Earth. After an accident, a Christmas angel-in-training (Davis) is assigned by a guardian angel (MacLaine) to guide a musician (McCormack) who has lost his creative spark — and soon, other sparks start flying too.
