THURSDAY Good Burger 8 p.m. on FAM Adapted and expanded from a sketch on stars Kenan Thomp- son and Kel Mitchell’s TV series “All That,” this good-natured 1997 comedy revolves around the colorful staff working at a modest sandwich joint that suddenly faces competition from an upscale hamburger em- porium across the street. Sin- bad, Abe Vigoda, Shar Jackson and Dan Schneider also star. FRIDAY Funny Girl 5:15 p.m. on TCM After making marks on Broadway, on records and in TV specials, Barbra Streisand conquered Hollywood with her screen debut in director William Wyler’s 1968 version of the stage hit about singer and comic Fanny Brice.

Streisand tied as Oscar’s best actress with Katharine Hepburn (“The Lion in Winter”). SATURDAY Bridge to Terabithia 7:30 a.m. on FAM Despite the cutesy promos for this family film, some very young children should not watch it, since it has a very sur- prising and tragic ending that could be upsetting.
