Conan O’Brien’s field trips, like David Letterman’s, always showcase him at his best. And in these specials where Conan visits other countries and cultures, his self-deprecation and natural curiosity and geniality combine to make for great comic travelogues. 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

SEASON PREMIERE: This series returns for eight final episodes, starting Season 7 with a time jump that’s described in the season opener’s episodic title: “About 3 Years Later.” Jess and Nick (Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson), who finally confessed their love for one another in the previous season finale, are still together – but three years later, they’re returning from a European book tour.

The title of this new Frontline report refers not to President Donald Trump’s takeover of the White House, or of the 24-hour news cycle, or even of Twitter – but of how he joined, tackled, opposed, and conquered the Republican party itself. For a full review, see Alex Strachan's TV That Matters. Check local listings.

Season 2 of this Noah Hawley superhero series, perhaps the least obvious and most mercurial comic-based series ever made, is rather astounding. Season 1 was about unreliable characters, and a story told by an unreliable narrator. In Season 2, there are new perspectives everywhere, and almost nothing you see, like no one you encounter, can be trusted, or taken at face value. But I promise this: the images and surprises you’ll encounter on Legion, especially this season, are all but unpreced

This new documentary looks at the life and rather inspiring career of Andre Roussimoff, who emerged from France, and a medical condition known as acromegaly, as Andre the Giant: a pro wrestler who achieved an even more lasting piece of fame as one of the beloved characters in the movie version of The Princess Bride.
