Toy Story

Down deep, everyone knows two things about toys: They come alive when nobody's around, and to be loved by a child is their all in all. The first feature-length computer animated film, from 1995, tells the often touching and always hilarious story of cowboy doll Woody's struggle to keep his owner Andy's affection after Mom buys a flashy new toy, space hero Buzz Lightyear. Advisory: Toddlers could be upset by neighbor kid Sid's anti-toy violence.

Danny Thomas: Make Room for Danny

Biography, 11 p.m.

Everyone in Hollywood, Catholic or not, could take Danny Thomas (d. 1991) as a model of family entertainment, marital fidelity, loyalty to his faith and generosity to mankind. Born Muzyad Yalhood in 1914, the fifth of 10 children of immigrants from Lebanon, Thomas became a star comedian in 1940s radio and 1950s TV. But Danny Thomas's greatest achievement is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. He built it to keep a vow he'd made in 1940, when he prayed for help because he had just $7 to his name and his wife Rose Marie was expecting their first child.
