Vinegar Hill

8 pm/ET CBS New

Mary-Louise Parker leads a uniformly strong cast in this overwhelmingly bleak TV drama that's been sitting on the network's shelf since 2005. Parker stars as Ellen Fritz, a financially strapped mom who is forced, along with her unemployed husband, Jake, and their two kids, to move in with Jake's dysfunctional parents (Tom Skerritt, Betty Buckley). But Jake's monster of a dad constantly belittles everyone around him and makes it known that he would have preferred Jake had died instead of his beloved son Mitch, who recently perished in a truck accident. The acrid atmosphere eats away at all involved, including viewers, and leads Ellen to uncover a long-held secret that is at the heart of the family's problems. But by then most viewers likely won't care, and the film's abrupt ending will leave those who do unfulfilled. Some things are better left on the shelf. — Tim Holland

This movie also stars: Tim Guinee (Tomin) and Colin Ferguson (Eureka),

Final Approach

8 pm/ET HALLMARK CHANNEL New

The cable channel kicks off its action-packed Memorial Day weekend with a classically drawn airline thriller. Dean Cain stars as Jack Bender, a former FBI agent whose plane is hijacked by a radical separatist (Anthony Michael Hall) and his cronies. Naturally, Jack does his best to foil the hijackers' plans and save the day. Meanwhile, the FAA and FBI contemplate the best way to handle the situation, which becomes more complicated with every passing second. Just like the passengers on the ill-fated flight, viewers should buckle up for an unexpected and thrilling ride. — Brie Hearn

According to IMDB:

This movie also co-stars: Ernie Hudson (SG1's Ethon), Christopher Cousins (SG1's 2010 and 2001)

DEAR STACY: Whatever became of Lisa Bonet? Haven't heard from her in
a while. — D.D., Bronx, N.Y.

DEAR D.D.: While the 40-year-old Bonet, who legally changed her name
to Lilakoi Moon in 1995, is still a working actress, she has said in
interviews that she has deliberately cut back on acting so that she
could spend more time with her family. She has an 18-year-old
daughter, Zoe, with former husband Lenny Kravitz, and on July 23 of
last year she welcomed her second child, daughter Lola Iolani Momoa.
This is her first child with Jason Momoa, an actor noted for his
roles on "Baywatch" and "Stargate Atlantis."
