THE TERMINAL
Saturday, January 13 - 8pm ET/PT (S/ABC)
Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) is a visitor to New York from Eastern Europe, whose homeland erupts in a fiery coup while he is in the air en route to America. Stranded at Kennedy Airport with a passport from nowhere, he is unauthorized to actually enter the United States and must improvise his days and nights in the terminal's international transit lounge until the war at home is over. During his accidental exile, Viktor finds romance with a beautiful flight attendant (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and befriends an array of airport employees, some of whom aren't very far removed from their own assimilation to America.
SEABISCUIT
Saturday, January 20 - 8pm ET/PT (S/ABC)
In the 1930's America was in a Depression and few things could cheer up the populace until three men and a knobby-kneed horse brought the country to its feet. Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski) plays Charles Howard. A man that made his fortune introducing cars to the American West and the owner of a horse believed by many to be a very long shot. Howard joins forces with both Red Pollard (Tobey Maguire) an ex-prize fighter that is half-blind and becomes the horse's jockey, and Tom Smith (Chris Cooper) a Wild West performer that takes on the challenge of training Seabiscuit. Together these men and their horse lifted a nation out of despair and raced right into the history books.

Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) is the top-rated anchorman in San Diego in the '70s. When feminism marches into the newsroom in the form of ambitious newswoman Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), Ron is willing to play along at first - as long as Veronica stays in her place, covering cat fashion shows, cooking, and other "female" interests. But when Veronica refuses to settle for being eye candy and steps behind the news desk, it's more than a battle between two perfectly coiffed anchor-persons... it's war.
