THE 61ST ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS By David Bianculli

SPECIAL: There’s a lot going on this year. Women are front and center again, with such artists as Cardi B (pictured) and Janelle Monaé dominating the top categories. Soundtrack songs and albums are making movies matter this year, with Kendrick Lamar contending for Black Panther and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from A Star is Born. And after years of hip-hop being slighted in major categories, there’s a boycott this year, with Lamar, Drake, and Childish Gambino (Donald Glover&r

THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE WILDEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH By David Bianculli

This week, President Donald Trump delivered a State of the Union address, and an accompanying thinly veiling threat about stopping the investigations into his administration… or else. Immediately afterward, the Democratic House of Representatives launched headlong into a new wave of investigations and committee hearings on several fronts. We appear headed for the second government shutdown of 2019 – and today on The Circus, its crew of correspondents tracks, and tries to make sense

TRUE DETECTIVE By David Bianculli

In last week’s episode, in the modern timeline, the two former detective partners and long-estranged friends got together, had a tearful conversation, yet didn’t agree on whether to probe into the cold case that still haunted them both. If they don’t agree soon, this season of True Detective will have nowhere to go, except to live in the past, where lots of things are happening, surprisingly and violently.

WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? By David Bianculli

Morgan Neville’s wonderful, inspirational and almost certainly tear-inducing documentary on Fred Rogers, the disarmingly honest and empathic host of PBS’s Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, comes to TV tonight after a heartwarmingly successful run in theaters. Its TV debut is significant, too, because of its inclusiveness: It premieres on the premium service HBO, which will continue to show it at other times this month, but for this first-night TV premiere, Won’t You Be My Neig

PLANET EARTH: DYNASTIES By David Bianculli

This is such an enjoyable new nature documentary series, in part because it’s such an inspired hybrid of the old and new. Its storytelling approach, singling out one family of creatures (tonight: painted wolves) and following them like a drama, goes all the way back to the early Walt Disney and Wild Kingdom nature shorts. Yet the technological tools it uses, capturing the sound and sight of these animals, day and night, over a period of years, provide breathtakingly modern new perspectives

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE By David Bianculli

Tonight’s guest host, on this new installment, is Halsey. The musical guest also is Halsey, which means she’s pulling double duty – and following in the footsteps of such SNL host-and-musical-performers as Bruno Mars, Britney Spears, Paul Simon, Ray Charles, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Donald Glover, and the first-ever “I’ll-do-both” host/musician, Desi Arnaz. (Technically, the musical guest for that 1976 episode was his son, Desi Arnaz Jr., but the elder
