Tonight’s new episode is an expanded one-hour special, providing a behind-the-scenes and on-the-scene look at this week’s astounding political events in and around Washington, D.C. – the Georgia runoff election, the shift of power in the Senate, the storming of the Capitol by a destructive and deadly mob sent there at the urging of Donald Trump, and the subsequent calls for another Impeachment, or the invocation of the 25th Amendment, by Democrats and even some Republicans

AMERICAN GODS By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: Each season of this adaptation of the Neil Gaiman novel has had a different showrunner – and, basically, a different approach in tone. Season 3 begins tonight, and it, too, has different people in charge, led by new showrunner Charles H. Eglee. If that name’s not familiar, he has a long, impressive resume, starting as a writer on St. Elsewhere and Moonlighting, a long stint working with Steven Bochco on such shows as L.A. Law, NYPD Blue

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: James Herriot’s beloved books about the people and pets he met as a veterinarian in Yorkshire in the 1930s were adapted into a very successful miniseries once before, starring Christopher Timothy as Herriot, and co-starring Robert Hardy and Peter Davison. But that was back in 1978, several TV lifetimes ago (shortly after I started as a TV critic – that long ago). Here comes a new version, which already has been renewed for a second season, and which stars n

TIGER By David Bianculli

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Part 1 of 2. Scheduled to premiere last year but postponed, here comes another sports documentary, like ESPN’s The Last Dance about the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan, that shows up during the pandemic to remind us of the times when sports were played as thousands of fans gathered, closely huddled, to watch and cheer. This is a biography of Tiger Woods, so expect some stunning highs – and, away from the links, some noteworthy and unavoidable lows. Fo

YOUR HONOR By David Bianculli

This series was intense from the very start, but now it’s getting insane. Last week, New Orleans judge Michael Desiato, played by Bryan Cranston, was being blackmailed by someone who claimed to have proof that the judge’s son was the true culprit in the fatal hit-and-run of the teen son of Jimmy Baxter, a powerful New Orleans mob boss. And as the judge was dealing with that, the mobster in question (played. By Michael Stuhlbarg, pictured) made the link between his son’s fatalit

THE ODD COUPLE MARATHON By David Bianculli

The Odd Couple was a quality ABC sitcom of the 1970s, one of the few from that network able to compete with the new quality comedy series from CBS at the start of that decade: shows such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, All in the Family, and M*A*S*H. Today and tomorrow, the Decades network presents selected episodes from the 1970-75 run of The Odd Couple, which was based on the Neil Simon play and movie and successfully expanded for television by series creators
