Once again, CBS and TBS share duties televising today’s Sweet 16 games. And tonight, there are no double-digit seeds left in the East and Midwest brackets, and the competition has advanced pretty much as predicted (though not without some buzzer-beating drama). In the East, for example, the four teams left standing are the top four seeds: No. 1 Duke (pictured) plays No. 4 Virginia Tech at 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS, while No. 2 Michigan State plays No. 3 LSU before that, on the same network, at 7

DIAL M FOR MURDER By David Bianculli

In 1954, shortly before she decided to give up acting in movies to become a real-life princess in Monaco, Grace Kelly made a handful of movies, including two for Alfred Hitchcock. One was the classic Rear Window – but just before that, she worked for the director in this screen adaptation of the stage play.

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER By David Bianculli

Tonight’s scheduled guests include two whose presence may prove exceptionally newsworthy. One is Preet Bharara, whose take on Attorney General’s four-page summary of the Mueller Report should be illuminating, and fascinating. The other is South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (pictured), who has advanced his hopes as a Democratic presidential contender by sticking the landing on high-profile media appearances such as this one.

2019 NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT By David Bianculli

The Sweet 16 part of this year’s tournament, as always, is divided into two days, with four games played today and tomorrow. Four games per day, eight teams per day, times two = Sweet 16. CBS and TBS split the honors, with CBS offering tonight’s first contest, West No. 1 seed Gonzaga vs. No. 4 seed Florida State, at 7 p.m. ET. At 7:15 p.m. ET on TBS, South No. 2 seed Tennessee faces No. 3 seed Purdue. Then, in the evening’s next games, CBS presents West No. 2 Michigan against N

JOURNALISM IN THE MOVIES By David Bianculli

I’ve been captivated by this tribute to movies about journalism all month, which means I just watched The China Syndrome for about the 20th time, and All the President’s Men for about the billionth. I also tuned in to revisit Ace in the Hole, which was hosted by Anderson Cooper – not, as I had thought and written, previous “Journalism in the Movies” co-host Carl Bernstein. So even journalists writing about movies about journalism can get it wrong. But tonight, I pre

ABBY'S By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Check out this new sitcom, because it’s an amazingly rare TV animal. Created by Josh Malmuth, and with The Good Place creator Michael Schur as an executive producer, Abby’s is a sitcom shot in the once-standard multi-camera format, in front of an audience – but it’s shot outdoors. TV critics are loath to ever use the word “first” when referring to anything a TV show attempts, but I can’t come up with a precursor for this one. It’s
