For today’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, the Cincinnati Bengals will be without Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green, still suffering effects of a concussion incurred in the regular-season finale. That makes things tougher for Bengals QB Andy Dalton – but on the other side, Colts QB Andrew Luck has his offensive squad relatively intact.

The Dallas Cowboys backed into this year’s post-season, toppling the Philadelphia Eagles in the process, and looking, surprisingly, like a team that deserves to be playing in January. But unless the Cowboys can defeat the Detroit Lions today, Dallas’ January games will be over for this year.

SERIES PREMIERE: A musical series that’s a spoof of the Robin Hood era and ethos? It’s been done before, without music, on TV, but this is an odd enough experiment to sample, and maybe even support. It’s an eight-episode comedy, with two episodes shown each Sunday night on ABC – and the first two episodes, shown tonight, get better as they go along, as do the songs and lyrics. So give it a try – and a chance. For a full review, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’

This 2014 documentary by Steve James, director of Hoop Dreams, is about the life and death of Roger Ebert. It was only supposed to be about Ebert’s life, but his health took a turn for the worse after filming began, and it became a chronicle of his last months as well. As such, it’s quite a powerful documentary – affirming as well as sometimes astoundingly intimate. And in the sections devoted to Ebert’s long, uneasy partnership with fellow film critic Gene Siskel, it&rsq

Galavant, an eight-episode musical comedy with back-to-back half hours on Sundays through January, may have problems gaining ratings traction. But that won’t be for lack of trying -- or entertainment value...

Postseason in the NFL, and the road to Super Bowl XLIX, begins today with two back-to-back do-or-die games. First up is an NFC contest of two teams that hardly come to the postseason with bragging rights. The Arizona Cardinals lost four of their final six games and limped into the playoffs, while the Carolina Panthers, surging with four victories to end the regular season, comes to the postseason with a losing record: 7-8-1. Yet that was enough, in the NFC South, to take the division, and keep g

Marilyn Monroe was on a quest to get more respect for her acting ability when she agreed to star in this 1956 film version of the William Inge play – and she got it, with a raw, riveting performance in which she plays a sort of American Sally Bowles from Cabaret.
