SEASON PREMIERE: Michael Schur’s The Good Place ended last Thursday – superbly – but NBC isn’t depriving us of him completely on Thursday nights. Tonight, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which Schur co-created with Daniel J. Goor, presents its Season 7 premiere on NBC. And it returns with a slight shakeup: Captain Holt, played to dry perfection by Andre Braugher, is back on the street, demoted from captain to patrolman. The last time Braugher played a cop on the s

TOMMY By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Edie Falco goes from cable TV to broadcast, starring as an LAPD police chief in this new cop series from Paul Attanasio. She’s great, but the scripts of the opening shows are not quite up to her level. Even so, Tommy is a series that’s noteworthy for more than one reason. For my full review on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, listen to today’s show, or visit the Fresh Air website afterward. And for reviews on TV Worth Watchi

U.S. SENATE PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT TRIAL By David Bianculli

Sometime this afternoon, the U.SA. Senate will vote on whether to impeach President Donald Trump, who already has been impeached by the House of Representatives. Will the Senate break from its pattern of voting mostly along party lines, and hold the President accountable for his actions? No. But it’s history in the making anyway, so watch it where you can find it. The expected acquittal is expected to take place at 4 p.m. ET. Then watch to see if the proposal for officially censuring Presi

MIDNIGHT COWBOY By David Bianculli

When this movie came out in 1969, it was rated X. Later on, without removing anything from the film, it was rated R. Times changed. Movies did, too. But this movie, with great and brave performances from both Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, has remained the same: a fabulous, vulnerable, heartbreaking character study. Harry Nilsson’s recording of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talking” became a hit song from the movie – although Nilsson’s own composition, &ldquo

U.S. SENATE PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT TRIAL By David Bianculli

This is scheduled to be the second day of remarks from senators – the same day as the State of the Union Address, so senators have an especially long day today. As do political junkies, if they watch everything… while still waiting for caucus results from Iowa, which hadn’t come in as of this morning.
