BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Taylor Swift was rumored to be a surprise act at tonight’s Grammys, but now those rumors have been quashed. Still, there’s no lack of talent scheduled to perform live on stage tonight: Lizzo and Bilie Eilish (both pictured), Bonnie Raitt, Aerosmith, Run-DMC, and BTS. There’s also a tribute to Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich, who absolutely deserves it, having steered the best moments of this awards show for 40 years now. Alicia Keys hosts.
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Too bad this Showtime political documentary series had to return on such a slow news week for Beltway intrigue… midway through a presidential impeachment Senate hearing.
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:30 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This cartoon satire is back for Season 3 – and, like its real-life inspiration, is embroiled in an impeachment trial.
 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

My, my, my, this series is getting really, really good – and the rise of Cynthia Erivo as Holly Gibney, an investigator with OCD severe enough to think of her as a female Monk, is a strong part of it. And tonight’s episode is called “Que Viene El Coco,” the name of a Goya painting about a fabled shapeshifter that haunts and hunts naughty children… Hmmm. Sound pertinent?
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This is the Season 10 finale for this series… which may have gone on a season or two too long, but still contains some impressive and entertaining ensemble acting.
 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

I was a bit let down by the script for last week’s series premiere, but not by the central comic performances by Hugh Laurie and Josh Gad. And Armando Iannucci, creator of Veep, certainly deserves his chance to let this new universe of characters build and meld. So stick around, and stay aboard, and see what you think.
 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:30 p.m. ET

Last week’s Season 10 premiere of Curb was a closely guarded secret – which preserved all the jokes, but didn’t give other critics and me a chance to rave about how brilliantly funny it was. Now we know, and the secret’s out: Larry David, after 20 years as “TV Larry,” not only hasn’t lost a step. He’s hit full stride…
