Lifetime, Saturday, Nov. 29, 8 p.m.
The “Internet sensation” known as Grumpy Cat – named so because it’s a cat that always looks grumpy – has been monetized into a Lifetime Christmas movie. This sounds awful and absurd, but it’s also potentially rather funny, since the cat is voiced by the hilariously deadpan Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation, Safety Not Guaranteed). The preview shows the cat being grumpy about life, mean to the blonde girl who cares for it and shooting enemies with a paint gun, all while making meta commentary about being in a Lifetime Christmas movie. Plaza herself has said that we should watch the movie while drinking lots of wine.
