SERIES PREMIERE: This new HBO animated series, produced by Jay and Mark Duplass, looks at life in the big city, but from the point of view of some of its smaller creatures: the birds, carriage horses, vermin and other animals who call New York their home. Hey –maybe there will be a cameo appearance by Pizza Rat.

This debate wasn’t solidified until the last minute, but I think it’s official now. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, in their first Democratic Presidential Debate without sharing the stage, square off after their virtual dead heat in the Iowa caucus. Now the New Hampshire primary is looming, and both candidates have agreed to debate the issues, and one another, at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH.
