What a feeling: Tonight, The Goldbergs hits the dance floor, and the rehearsal hall, as Goldberg matriarch Beverly (the very funny Wendi McLendon-Covey) enrolls in dance class after being inspired by the then-new movie Flashdance. Hey, it could be worse. She could have taken up welding…

Tonight’s episode is called “Urban Transit Planning,” which refers to the new job by a veteran Soviet character on this series, who’s returning to the U.S. to take a graduate school class in that sociological discipline.

I don’t know where he’s visiting in this trip to Italy, outside of Rome and a few other major tourist destinations. I’d love it if he visits the small inland mountain village, about where the ankle would b

One of the smartest moves made by this rebooted revisit of the old ABC Roseanne series was to find roles for both of the young actresses who had played Roseanne’s daughter Becky over the years. Lecy Goranson had originated the role, and Sarah Chalke, who achieved additional fame as the co-star of Scrubs, inherited it. In this new 2018 iteration, the role of Becky reverts to Goranson, who finds a possible path to financial solvency by engaging in a surrogacy arrangement and accepting money

Taped shortly after this year’s Grammy Awards, this two-hour special invited Sir Elton John to sit front and center while the songs he wrote with lyricist Bernie Taupin were performed by a procession of grateful and passionate singers. Performers include Miley Cyrus (pictured) doing “The Bitch Is Back,” Ed Sheeran covering “Candle in the Wind,” Lady Gaga doing “Your Song,” Kesha doing “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” and Elton joining them and mo
