Ugly-duckling fable in which a boy (Henry Thomas) befriends a stranded alien creature from outer space and helps him return to his home. Director Steven Spielberg fashions an inspiring image of youthful innocence and courage in a story that some may find overly sentimental. Nevertheless, the childlike fantasy conveys some genuine emotion and a message of trust and peace that the family might enjoy sharing. The USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification of the theatrical version was A-I - general patronage. The Motion Picture Association of America rating was PG - parental guidance suggested.

Wednesdays, May 14 and 21, 8 p.m., WHA (PBS) -- Kingdom of David. This impressive four-hour, two-part documentary tells the story of how a ragtag confederation of nomadic tribes called the Israelites forged a nation and established the world's first monotheistic religion. Though containing some scholarly discussions, the program can be enjoyed by all but the youngest family members.
