That’s Entertainment! (Channel 5 Monday at 8 p.m.) skims off the creamier delights from more than 40 years of MGM musicals. The excerpts from the past are punctuated by comments from Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and many others.

George Stevens brought dimension and an epic scale to his sweeping 1956 film of the Edna Ferber saga Giant (Channel 13 Monday at 8 p.m., completed Tuesday at 8 p.m.).

The new TV movie Winnie (NBC Monday at 9 p.m.) stars Meredith Baxter Birney (on the cover) in the true story of a woman who becomes increasingly determined to live on her own after 30 years of institutionalization.

The popularity of “That’s Entertainment!” led to That’s Entertainment, Part 2 (Channel 5 Tuesday at 8 p.m.), a 1976 sequel hosted by Astaire and Kelly and including sequences from comedies and dramas as well as musicals. It’s not quite as cohesive as the first, but it’s a joy anyway.

Written by Collin Welland and directed by Bud Yorkin, the 1985 Twice in a Lifetime (NBC Tuesday at 9 p.m.) is a compelling and realistic account of a middle-aged, blue collar man (Gene Hackman) leaving his wife (Ellen Burstyn) for a younger woman (Ann-Margret). The impact of this dramatic and painful change upon Hackman and Burstyn and their children is depicted with credibility and compassion. The film’s excellent cast includes Amy Madigan, Ally Sheedy and Brian Dennehy.

The new TV movie Outback Bound (CBS Tuesday at 9 p.m.) stars Donna Mills as a glamorous proprietor of a Beverly Hills art gallery caught up in a romantic adventure in the hinterlands of Australia.
