This 1980 Brian De Palma thriller is most notable for its early set piece featuring Angie Dickinson, and for its much later set piece featuring Nancy Allen. But there are other memorable elements, too, including Dennis Franz, playing a pre-Hill Street Blues detective, who interrogates person of interest, psychologist Michael Caine.

Fox is devoting tonight’s schedule to new holiday specials. First up, at 8 p.m. ET, is Steve Harvey, hosting Showtime at the Apollo: Christmas in Harlem. But the flashier special arrives at 9 ET, when Taraji P. Henson from Empire hosts, in what is becoming an annual TV event, a Christmas special full of music, fun – and, as expected from a fiery Christmas Cookie, lots of outrageous costumes.

SPECIAL:  Eric McCormack and Debra Messing of NBC’s Will & Grace are the hosts of this celebration, which looks back at 75 years of Golden Globes  celebrations. Pay particular attention, if this special has the nerve to show it, of the shockingly unexpected Star of the Year Award bestowed in 1982, to a then-unknown starlet named Pia Zadora. How unknown? The film for which she “won,” Butterfly, which had been financed by her wealthy husband, hadn’t even been

SERIES PREMIERE: Ed Helms stars as, uh, Ted Nelms, in this new Comedy Central series, which presents Helms, as Nelms, anchoring a program of completely fabricated news. And yet it premieres the day after the Alabama special election for senator, so real news, right now, seems astounding enough. Yet here it is, with Fake News making fun of the format and presentation of the news more adeptly than any series since The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

SEASON FINALE: This is Episode 10 of Season 3 – which makes it an especially significant episode, though not necessarily a clarifying one.

Ed Helms may not be mining comedy from yesterday’s Alabama special election for senator – but you better believe that his former Daily Show fellow correspondent, Samantha Bee, sure will be doing just that on tonight’s new episode.

Panama is mostly spoken of in terms of its canal and its role in connecting two great oceans for navigation. But the isthmus also connects two continents and thus allows migration of species between North and South America...

SPECIAL PREMIERE: The very, very funny Judd Apatow, who has written the screenplays for The 40Year-Old Virgin and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and produced Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy, Bridesmaids and Trainwreck, takes another page out of the Mel Brooks playbook. After decades as a writer, producer and director, he returns to his standup comedy roots and does his first solo standup TV special. It’s taped in Canada, and manages to cover both sexual harassment and politics witho
