BIG FAN
January 16, 2017  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 10:01 p.m. ET

 

This is a warning, not a recommendation. I threatened this last week, and tonight it arrives: The first installment of tonight’s Big Fan doubleheader, in which celebrities are pitted against fans to see who knows more about that celebrity, features Kim Kardashian West. One of the rotating slogans of TV Worth Watching used to be “No Kardashians,” and that unofficial edict still holds, at least in spirit. But for Kim Kardashian West herself, Big Fan, in which the entire show is built around questions asked about her, just might be the apotheosis of her life to date. So long as no one asks her the definition of apotheosis. The Big Fan centerpiece during the second episode shown tonight: Frozen and The Good Place co-star Kristen Bell.
