Television Guide

1. The new president of the United States gets profi led on Dreams of Obama (SBS, Friday, 7.30pm), four days before his inauguration. 2. Matthew McConaughey shows off the bod in yet another silly ‘lost treasure’ action adventure called Sahara (TEN, Saturday, 8.45pm), which entirely wastes the talents of William H Macy. 3. Billy Bob Thornton, right, gives Jeff rey Davies a talking-to in Bad News Bears (TEN, Sunday, 6.30pm). It’s not a patch on the 1976 original with Walter Matthau and the delightful Tatum O’Neal, but is eff ec- 1 2 3 tive satire nevertheless.
