Prayers for Bobby
9 pm/ET Lifetime
Sigourney Weaver gives a moving performance in this cable movie as Mary Griffith, a deeply religious mother tortured by grief and guilt over the suicide of her gay son, Bobby. Based on a true story, the cable teleplay follows Griffith's search for answers to make sense of her son's life — and his death — eventually leading her to question her religious beliefs. As understanding comes, so does a new calling that transforms this mother into an outspoken activist for gay rights. —Rhoda Charles

Last year's top two finishers in the U.S. Championships (Mirai Nagasu and Rachael Flatt) were too young to compete in the Worlds, but they helped sweep the Junior Worlds (with Caroline Zhang) for the U.S. for the second straight year. —Dave Roeder
