With so many distractions these days, a lot of people are missing out on great TV and they might not even know it! So here’s a list of my five can’t-miss shows this week on TELUS Optik TV™. With so many channels available, finding five shows is surprisingly tricky. So save some time, and start watching what’s good.
There are a lot of live events on TV this week that you need to check out (plus a Downton Abbey special!). You know what they say about live TV – you never know what’s going to happen.

If you have a little bit of country in your blood, you should check out this special on CMT, celebrating the country artists of the year. Check out TELUS Optik’s Medley theme pack for more shows like this one.
Christmas at Rockefeller

NBC
If you like Christmas trees, then you need to watch the annual tree lighting at Rockefeller Center! Every year when they light up New York’s best tree, they do a holiday special. It’s December, so these things are now happening! It will also remind you to watch Home Alone (from that end scene when Kevin is at the tree and his mom finally finds him, it’s the best.)

First they did the Sound of Music, then Peter Pan – and now the Wizard of Oz! Ne Yo, Mary J. Blige and Queen Latifa star in this version of the Wizard of Oz, live from Long Island.

Canadian actor Ryan Gosling is hosting this week’s episode of SNL! The musical guest is Leon Bridges, who is really great if you haven’t heard him. I am most interested to see if Ryan will be funny. He’s Canadian, so it’s in his blood.

Are you a Downton fan? Then this one is for you. If you can’t wait until season 6 premiere, make sure you catch this special. It features interviews with the actors as well as some sneak peaks of the season 6 premiere.
