BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Perhaps you saw last night’s post-Super Bowl premiere of this new 24 reboot, 24: Legacy, starring Corey Hawkins as the new hero of this high-octane franchise. Perhaps you didn’t, because you were too stunned, either way, by the unprecedented Super Bowl LI comeback win by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Either way, the show slides into its regular time slot tonight with its second hour – and if you missed the premiere, you can either catch it on the Fox website or just hop on the moving train, because 24: Legacy, with 23 hours yet to go, is just getting started. For a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.

TIMELESS

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s time-traveling episode takes viewers, and some of this show’s characters, back to 1927 and Paris, when Charles Lindbergh is about to complete his record-setting transatlantic flight. One good thing: security at the airport will be easy to pass through -- because there weren't airports yet.

INDEPENDENT LENS: "THE BIRTH OF A MOVEMENT"

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

I teach D.W. Griffith’s 1915 Birth of a Nation silent epic in my Film History and Appreciation class at Rowan University – but I teach it as a brilliant piece of technical filmmaking that also happens to be unavoidably, inexcusably racist. Its lionization of the Ku Klux Klan led to a resurgence of that organization in the early 20^th century – and this new edition of Independent Lens notes that the movie sparked the growth of another movement as well, as African-Americans rose up to protest the film’s message. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower. Check local listings.

STAR TALK

National Geographic, 11:00 p.m. ET

On tonight’s show, host Neil deGrasse Tyson plays host to someone who has hosted him, several times, on his own talk show: Bill Maher, star of Real Time with Bill Maher (pictured). What in the world, or the universe, will they be talking about tonight?

Marine lubricants are specialized oils and greases formulated to meet the demanding requirements of marine engines and equipment operating in harsh oceanic environments. These lubricants are essential for reducing friction and wear in ship engines, propulsion systems, and auxiliary equipment, ensuring efficient performance and prolonged machinery life. They come in various types, including trunk piston engine oils (TPEO) for medium-speed engines and system oils for crosshead engines. Marine lubricants must possess excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and detergency to withstand extreme pressures, high temperatures, and exposure to saltwater.
