This is a catch-all listing for the major coverage today. Look for CNN, Fox News and MSNBC to provide all-day coverage, utilizing their regular anchors and pundits. As with last week's Republican National Convention, CBS, NBC and ABC all are devoting the 10 p.m. ET hour — but only that hour — to prime-time convention coverage.

2012 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION By David Bianculli

To recap what I said when the RNC kicked off: Here’s broadcast TV convention coverage the way it used to be: consuming all of prime time, with smart people on hand to analyze events and put them into context. Thanks again, PBS. Judy Woodruff and Gwen Ifill co-anchor. Check local listings.

THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART By David Bianculli

If you read Best Bets during the Republican National Convention, you're probably thinking these recommendations look pretty familiar. You're right. But let's face it: Jon Stewart and company presented some of the best RNC commentary, and they'll no doubt do the same this week — whether members of the Democratic party make asses of themselves or not.

DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD By David Bianculli

This new PBS KIDS series, inspired by Fred Rogers and his iconic series, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, carries his legacy forward with programming for preschoolers.

DR. T AND THE WOMEN By David Bianculli

Richard Gere stars in the 2000 Robert Altman comedy about a wealthy gynecologist treating wealthy women in Dallas. It stars Laura Dern, Shelley Long and Kate Hudson. But notably, it features the late Farrah Fawcett in one of her best roles, miles ahead of the one that won her fame on the throwaway 1976 series, Charlie's Angels.

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER By David Bianculli

This is a repeat of last Friday's show, but well worth revisiting. Maher interviews Obama critic and 2016: Obama's America filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, and points out that the post-9/11 firestorm that resulted in Politically Incorrect being dropped from ABC was triggered by his agreeing with a statement from D'Souza. Jason Alexander and Soledad O'Brien join in on the panel.
