THE SEVENTIES
CNN, 9:00 p.m. ET
When the Republican debate is over at 11 p.m. ET, CNN will offer its own post-debate analysis. But since Fox News is hosting the debate itself, CNN is counter-programming – starting at 9 ET with a prime-time repeat of the first episode of this new documentary series. The opening hour is all about TV in the 1970s, and I’m one of the on-camera interviewees, in case you’re curious. But let’s be honest: I’ll be watching the debates, and so should you. (You could, however, record this hour of The Seventies for later viewing. Or just wait for CNN to repeat it another dozen times, which, eventually, it will.)
