Meat Loaf Aday keeps ‘Breakfast Club’ away

Ally Sheedy, forever associated with the Brat Pack films of the 1980s, returns to the small screen in “Citizen Jane” (8 p.m., today, Hallmark). Sheedy portrays Jane Alexander, a woman of means who gives up everything to discover the identity of her aunt’s killer, a man who may turn out to be a very close family friend. And look for Meat Loaf (aka Marvin Lee Aday) as the detective who helps her out.

• “King of the Hill” (7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Fox) gets an hour-long chance to say “adios” to its faithful audience. It’s fitting that both installments focus on the central relationship between the lovable square Hank Hill and his eccentric adolescent son, Bobby.

In the first, Bobby is adopted by a crew of older girls and does not realize that they see him as a kind of adorable pet. In the second, Bobby finally makes Hank proud by competing in a state championship that gives both a chance to bond over their common love of meat. The series ends on a great note, with its very cool and under-appreciated roadhouse theme song reworked as an epic Western score.

For years, “King” stood out as one of the few comedies not set in New York or Los Angeles. It was the first show to reflect the impact of mega-retailers on a small-town economy and the home to Peggy Hill, a fully realized mother character with more than her share of eccentric tastes, including a love of Boggle, the music of Chuck Mangione and an undying allegiance to the audio cassette as her medium of choice. For all of their foibles and shortcomings, the characters on “King” were drawn with affection. They will be missed.

• Science, superstition, legend and reality clash in the odd little special “The Girl Who Cries Blood” (8 p.m., Sunday, National Geographic). Almost everything about “Girl” will surprise you. While the subject comes from India, she’s a thoroughly 21st-century adolescent. She’s one of four girls born to a hardworking Hindi family who live in a city known for its Muslim architecture. And her name is Twinkle.

Apparently, she bleeds spontaneously and inexplicably from her head, her eyes, her hands, feet and chest. Stranger still, when she washed the blood away, there are no wounds to explain them.

Her curious condition arouses fear and suspicion in her neighbors, who consider her possessed, or the harbinger of bad luck. Her mother takes her to mystics, high priests, a Roman Catholic Bishop and an ancient Hindu ceremony on the Ganges. All to no avail. She finally attracts the attention of an American blood specialist whose thorough examination raises more questions than answers.

A second documentary, “The World’s Smallest Girl” (9 p.m., National Geographic), follows.
