reports that ABC is airing the TV adaptation of the Broadway production A Raisin in the Sun the day after the Oscars (February 25 at 8pm), which stars Sean "Diddy" Combs, Phylicia Rashad, Audra McDonald, Sanaa Lathan, John Stamos, Sean Patrick Thomas, David Oyelowo, Bill Nunn and Cephas Jones. That's right, three hours of Diddy leading a cast in the role originated by Sidney Poitier.
Another TV movie that sounds worth staying away from is Oprah Winfrey Presents: Mitch Albom's For One More Day. Michael Imperioli and Ellen Burstyn star in this drama coming from the author who brought us tear-jerkers Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. This airs on December 9th at 9. So there, you can plan around them.
