ALEXANDER HAMILTON By David Bianculli

Fans of Broadway’s Hamilton, compare and contrast. This 1931 movie stars George Arliss in the title role, and focuses on two particular periods in the revolutionary politician’s life: his push to establish a federal banking system, and his reaction to being blackmailed for an extramarital affair.

ELLEN'S GAME OF GAMES By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Ellen DeGeneres and company spent a lot of money on the set here, and doubtlessly a good percentage (or promise of a percentage) on Ellen herself – but if this game show, drawing from and expanding upon the feel-good games she plays occasionally on her daytime series, clicks in prime time, it’ll also be partially due to the contestants. They are so excited to be there, and taking part, and interacting with DeGeneres as the host, that they make the contestants on The

L.A. TO VEGAS By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: This is a warning, not a recommendation. This new comedy series comes from the Funny or Die camp – but in this case, the clear choice is Die.

Comedies on an airplane can be very funny (Surely you’ve seen Airplane!; Yes, I have, and don’t call me Shirley), b

THE TWILIGHT ZONE MARATHON By David Bianculli

The Twilight Zone marathon New Year’s marathon continues, all day and all night today – and so does the show’s continued influence and excellence. Early today, at 9:30 a.m. ET, host Rod Serling takes us on a tour to “A Stop at Willoughby,” a Season 1 train trip that clearly inspired “The Commuter,” one of the tales dramatized in a few weeks when Amazon unveils its new sci-fi anthology series, Philip K.
