TV: 'Making of Peter Pan,' 'Two and a Half Men'
The Making of Peter Pan Live!
NBC, Wednesday, 8 ET/PT
They're flying live next week on NBC — but for those who can't wait, the network offers this behind-the-scenes special. Yes it's a glorified commercial, but it's a commercial for a worthy project from some of TV's best producers, who will (one hopes) retain what was best about The Sound of Music while correcting its mistakes. Because surely the sound is going to work this time, right?
Property Brothers at Home
HGTV, Wednesday, 9 ET/PT
Many of you have loved them on Property Brothers, Buying & Selling and Brother vs. Brother. So HGTV assumes you'll love Jonathan and Drew Scott on Property Brothers at Home, which follows the siblings as they try to renovate their 5,000-square-foot Las Vegas home in time for a family reunion. It's HGTV, so who knows if any of it is real, but it could still be fun.
Mom, Two and a Half Men, The McCarthys and Elementary

So if you need something new to watch while you digest your turkey and pie, here it is.
