Michael Jackson : Bad 25 Television Premiere

In a welcome break from the traditionally saccharine holiday programming, ABC is airing "a version" of Spike Lee's documentary "Michael Jackson: Bad 25," which had its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival before having a short theatrical release. Lee trimmed almost an hour for the television version, but "Bad 25" is still something to be thankful for, a hypnotic homage to the performer's gift and, more important, his dedication. MORE HERE

The documentary film by award-winning director Spike Lee, airs Thanksgiving Day, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2012 9:30|8:30c on ABC.
