Last week, Fox successfully launched this new medical series with a two-night premiere that drew viewers in the double digits of millions – which, these days, is a lot.

THE ALIENIST By David Bianculli

This period serial killer series continues – and while it’s got some occasional scenes of interest, it’s also arriving at a time when dramas about serial killers, on television, outnumber those telling stories about just about any other profession or activity.

IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT By David Bianculli

This 1934 screwball comedy remains one of the most honored movies of all time, which is one reason to make a special effort to watch, or revisit, when it makes a prime-time uninterrupted and unedited showing, as it does tonight on TCM. Clark Cable plays a reporter on the run with a pampered socialite (Claudette Colbert), in a script adapted by Robert Riskin from an existing short story, and directed by the great Frank Capra.

BREAKING BAD MARATHON By David Bianculli

All month, quite happily, I’ve been sucked into this 10th-anniversary weekend rebroadcast of Breaking Bad. And today, that celebration, and that series, comes to an end – with the last, marvelous episodes of TV’s best dramatic series. The mini-marathon begins at 9:34 a.m. ET wit Episode 12 of Season 5, and ends with the finale, called “Felina,” at 2:12 p.m. ET, which is when series creator Vince Gilligan ends it all by giving us the Badfinger.

THE 60TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS By David Bianculli

SPECIAL: James Corden is returning as host of the Grammys this year, and there’s a lot to watch. Producer Ken Ehrlich always crams this show with exciting pairings of musicians, and among tonight’s scheduled duets are the pairing of Elton John and Miley Cyrus, and another with Bruno Mars and Cardi B.
