This game, by contrast, is likely to focus on the running attack. The Seattle Seahawks have averaged more yardage per game on the ground than any other squad, while the Dallas Cowboys have the league’s rushing champion, Ezekiel Elliott. Both teams are 10-6, and this game is played in prime time on Fox.

THE WIZARD OF OZ By David Bianculli

It’s 2019 now – which means this most classic of all children’s movies is 80 years old. Made in 1939, everything in it, from the music to the tornado, still seems utterly perfect.

THE ALEC BALDWIN SHOW By David Bianculli

This ABC talk show started on Sunday nights, then was shuffled off to Saturdays when the audience failed to materialize. Tonight’s repeat installment was the show’s most intriguing to date, because the guest was Jerry Seinfeld. Whenever he appears as a guest on a TV show, he usually has a good time making fun of either the host or the program, or both. And why is he appearing on The Alec Baldwin Show at all? Quid pro quo: Last year, Baldwin appeared as a guest on Seinfeld’s Com

THE BLACKLIST By David Bianculli

The Season 6 premiere of this series was televised earlier this week, but tonight NBC repeats it as the first part of a Blacklist double feature – the second part being tonight’s new episode, the second of the new season, and the new year. The cliffhanger from last year established that Red (James Spader) was not, after all this time and all his stories, the father of FBI agent Liz (Megan Boone). She’s now more determined than ever to find out his true identity, his closeness t

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW By David Bianculli

The latest edition of Graham Norton’s annual New Year’s party show arrives in the States a few days late – but, as always with The Graham Norton Show, it’s worth the wait. And when it comes time for the traditional “party games” demonstration of unusual talents, or what David Letterman would call Stupid Human Tricks, this brand new edition contains two have-to-see, and have-to-hear, moments. One is Keira Knightley’s rendition of “Raindrops Keep Fal

THE BIG BANG THEORY By David Bianculli

MIDSEASON PREMIERE: Shuffling the deck – or mixing and matching various sets of characters to explore how they interact together – always has been this sitcom’s not-so-secret weapon. In this midseason return, passing the halfway point of this durable show’s final season, the gang divides into teams of two to play one another in a typically competitive paintball game. Except this time, only one couple, Sheldon and Amy, pairs off together. For the rest, it’s a chance

THE TITAN GAMES By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Sight unseen, which is the way NBC wants it until this new 10-part competition series begins tonight, The Titan Games sounds like it’s borrowing from several already successful formats. From American Ninja Warrior (which itself borrowed wholesale from a Japanese TV show), there are the giant, outrageous physical challenges. From Iron Chef (again, a Japanese show eventually adapted by a U.S. network), there’s a roving reporter and some sideline commentary. From Ellen&
