THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE GREATEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH By David Bianculli

THE GOOD WIFE By David Bianculli

Last Sunday, CBS dropped a stunner of a surprise during its Super Bowl ad for The Good Wife, saying these final episodes of the season would be the show’s last, period. And the last servings of The Good Wife begin tonight, with Alicia returning to her old firm (again), so savor.

MASTERPIECE: "DOWNTON ABBEY" By David Bianculli

ADELE LIVE IN LONDON By David Bianculli

Remember seeing the Video Worth Watching in which Graham Norton hosts a surprise event in which Adele lookalikes and sort of sound-alikes compete for a job impersonating her? The one in which the real Adele is sneaked in as part of the mix? Well, whether you do or not, this is the British TV special from which that was taken.
