There is a new Muppet movie to watch!!!

What’s on TV: This weekend
* Whoopi Goldberg , Joan Cusack and David Arquette join Kermit and company for It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (NBC, Friday, 8 ET/PT) The plot salutes a host of Christmas classics.
* Here’s something you probably never thought you’d see: TLC revives the ancient world’s favorite sport with Chariot Race 2002. (Sunday, 8 ET/PT) .
* How many ways are there to rip off Die Hard? Apparently, at least one more: Christmas Rush(TBS, Sunday, 8 p.m. ET/7 PT) which stars Dean Cain as a suspended cop trying to foil a heist in a shopping mall. Yes, there are hostages – and yes, the cop’s wife is among them. The thief is played by Eric Roberts, who has a much better full-time job over at ABC’s delightful Less Than Perfect.
* And finally, Fox (finally) brings back Andy Richter Controls the Universe (Sunday, 9:30 pm ET/PT) and just like that, the sitcom season looks immeasurably brighter. In Sunday’s frequently hilarious outing, a misjudged racial comment lands Andy in sensitivity training, where he is taught to celebrate the differences we’re not allowed to admit exist.
