SUNDAY From the animated antics of "The Simpsons" to the ratings powerhouse that is "American Idol," a once-upstart network and some of its stars, past and present, will celebrate a quarter-century of TV goodness in "Fox's 25th Anniversary Special. " (Fox, 8 p.m.) She debunked the so-called "Seinfeld" curse with her hit series "The New Adventures of Old Christine," so we've no doubt that Julia Louis-Dreyfus will have us laughing with her — as well as at her — in her new D.C.-set sitcom "Veep.

It's become something of a holiday tradition — every couple of years, Syfy turns out a star-studded prequel to a beloved children's story — "Tin Man" in 2007, "Alice " in 2009. This time, it's J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan" that goes through the mirror darkly in "Neverland," a cleverly conceived, at times visually lovely, but criminally long imagining of how Peter became Pan.

MOVIES The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: An idealistic young lawyer (James Stewart)

I don't know about anyone else, but they had me at David Strathairn. "Alphas," Syfy's new drama about ordinary people with extraordinary powers who come together to fight crime, is a fresh take on an old premise, a sit-up-and-take-notice show that, while not the fanboy catnip "Battlestar Galactica" once was, should bring many more eyeballs to the struggling network. It was no slam-dunk, especially in the wake of the failure of "Heroes" and last season's dud "No Ordinary Family.

Miniseries have had it good for some time because, when done right, they offer a unique TV experience: Big-name casts, often lush period sets and the time to flesh out the characters and story — showpieces that radiate a grand promise of what TV can strive to be. And they can cause Emmy voters to swoon. Yet hardly anyone wants to make them anymore. "They don't repeat well, and the money put into them doesn't match the return; it's just not a very good economic model," says Tim Brooks, former network executive for Lifetime, NBC and USA. So when the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced in February that it would fold the miniseries and made-for-television movie categories together, network programmers were far from surprised.
