Thursday 2612 Gifts of Christmas (Hallmark 6pm) Nine. You’re up to nine made-for-TV rom-coms this year, Hallmark. We haven’t even hit December, for God’s sake.

I won’t adopt a dog for anything less than a Pitt or a Jolie.Friday 27“South of Hell” (WE 7pm) WE goes the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”-esque route with this supernatural series about a possessed demon hunter (Mena Suvari from the American Pie movies) who roams Charleston, S.C., looking for monsters to kill. I’ll bet dollars to donuts she sleeps with some of the sexier ones, too.Crown For Christmas (Hallmark 6pm) Ten!Saturday 28A Christmas Detour (Hallmark 6pm) Hey, I’m as grateful as the next sap for the first Candace Cameron Bure sighting of the holiday season, but couldn’t you take just one night off, Hallmark. Eleven.A Gift-Wrapped Christmas (Lifetime 6pm) That’s cute, Lifetime.

So here’s some people making cookies you can’t taste.“Superstore” (KOB-4 9pm) America Ferrera (“Ugly Betty”) stars in this midseason sitcom about the lives of people working at a big box store. Just in time for the holiday shopping season.Tuesday 1“Married at First Sight: Matchmaking Special” (A&E/FYI 6pm) This sounds like a bad idea all around.“Married at First Sight: Wedding Preparation” (A&E/FYI 7pm) Oh.
