A grieving therapist starts to break the rules by telling his clients exactly what he thinks.

Matt Roush says...

It may be Christmas Eve, but in the world of the terrific ensemble comedy Shrinking, it’s Thanksgiving — and let’s give thanks to this poignant and tartly funny series about therapists whose lives are even messier than that of their clients. In the Season 2 finale, the theme of forgiveness and redemption looms large as Jimmy (Jason Segel) hopes to reconcile with his daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell), who just wants him to reach out to Louis (Brett Goldstein), the man responsible for her mom’s death. Jimmy’s co-worker Gaby (the hilarious Jessica Williams) has some work to do to win back her mom (Vernee Watson) and new beau Derrick 2 (Damon Wayans Jr.) by Thanksgiving dinner. And their curmudgeonly boss Paul (Harrison Ford in top form), whose Parkinson’s meds are failing, is just grateful to have this wacky found family to lean on.

Christmas with Andrea Bocelli and Friends: A Grammy Holiday Special (8/7c, CBS): Multiple Grammy nominee Andrea Bocelli raises his remarkable voice with family and some well-chosen melodic friends in a holiday special. The classical tenor appears with wife Veronica and daughter Virginia as they welcome talents including Josh Groban — please let there be a duet — and Grammy winners Dua Lipa and EGOT Jennifer Hudson. If we’re lucky, maybe they’ll produce a soundtrack.
