Dave on Demand: TV must-sees

Don't miss these five this week.

Drunk History DVD What a concept: Unreliably inebriated narrators distort key chapters from our past. This box gathers up the first two seasons of this irresistible Comedy Central jape, along with two hours of bonus footage. On sale Tuesday.

Dan the Whale: Revenge from the Deep A TV movie from Animal Planet? Yup. Martin Sheen stars in this fact-based tale of the doomed 19th-century whaling ship The Essex. Her final voyage inspired Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. 9 p.m. Wednesday on Animal Planet.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade The Today show crew hosts the holiday ritual, which boasts the usual flotilla of balloons and an eclectic gathering of talent: Lucy Hale, Nick Jonas, the Madden Brothers, Meghan Trainor, and ex-Flyer John LeClair. 9 a.m. Thursday on NBC.

Kung Fu Panda Holiday The masters should never have put Po in charge of the winter feast at the Jade Palace. Features the voices of Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jack McBrayer, and others. 9 p.m. Friday on TheCW57.

Russell Brand: The Messiah Complex The comic acts like a manic street preacher in this London stand-up special. He adds effective visual aids to his articulate, oddly didactic, and very funny rants. 10 p.m. Friday on Epix.
