Remembering that all of Graham Norton’s guests come out at the same time and sit on the same couch for the entire hour, how’s this for an intriguing trio of couchmates? Jude Law, Mila Kunis, and Dame Judi Dench.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE By David Bianculli

Do not miss this, because I’m betting it’ll be the best television of the entire month. Justin Timberlake is back, as both guest host and musical guest. Even the promos for this week’s shows made me laugh out loud. All by himself, I swear, Timberlake is bringing FunnyBack.

OVATION'S 'SONG BY SONG' TELLS DOLLY'S STORIES By Ed Bark

Sunday's launch of Song By Song isn't likely to lure battalions of viewers, but maybe the ever-appealing Dolly Parton will be something of a drawing card...

GRIMM By David Bianculli

MIDSEASON RETURN: Not since The X-Files carved out a large and loyal Friday night following on Fox has this night been a springboard for genre series, rather than an impatient launch pad for eventual cancellation. (Think Fringe. Think Dollhouse. Think of a lot of shows.) Well, even though the prospects may be grim, here comes Grimm, returning at midseason, picking up where it left off. And where did it lead off? With two of its characters, Renard (Sasha Roiz) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), under

CULT By David Bianculli

NEW DAY AND TIME: After only two episodes, Cult was considered such an unsuccessful cult show – or Cult show – that it was yanked from the Tuesday CW schedule. But it wasn’t just thrown away. Well, not completely. It was moved to Fridays, where it presents Episode 3 tonight. I mention that not because I’m impressed by this show, but because if you were, you’ll need all the help you can get finding it.

GREAT PERFORMANCES: "MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR REVISITED" By David Bianculli

Not every PBS member station will be repeating its two-part Beatles special from December tonight in prime time – but many will, so it’s certainly worth a heads up, just in case. First comes a new documentary about the making, and the impact, of Magical Mystery Tour, the psychedelic British TV special from 1967 that included such songs as “Fool on the Hill” and “I Am the Walrus.” This documentary, even for hard-core Beatles fans, is chock full of new insights,

GREAT PERFORMANCES: "MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR" By David Bianculli

Following a documentary on the 1967 holiday TV special by the Beatles that aired in (and outraged much of) England, many PBS member stations tonight repeat the Magical Mystery Tour program itself. It’s remastered, restored, and really, really interesting. What a treat. Check local listings.

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER By David Bianculli

There’s a really good lineup on tonight’s new edition, including such reliably talkative guests as former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele, actor and comedian David Cross, Detroit author and TV reporter Charlie LeDuff, and Huffington Post matriarch, and old Maher crony, Arianna Huffington (pictured, with Maher).

THE BIG BANG THEORY By David Bianculli

High school must have been awkward and embarrassing for the geeky brainiacs on this show the first time around. But they’re older now, and even wiser – so when they’re invited to speak about science to a high school class of young ladies, things will be completely different, right? If you think that, welcome to your first viewing of The Big Bang Theory.
