I guess it’s time for me to acknowledge the new year and get started on my year end lists. Until then there’s always more tv!
- Big Fan (ABC) Monday, 10pm, Series Premiere – The latest game show slant with three superfans competing against a celebrity about trivia, about the celebrity.
- President Barack Obama’s Farewell Address (Multiple) Tuesday, 6pm – The end of an era.
- Taboo (Fx) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – This latest Tom Hardy period piece hasn’t gotten rave reviews but always worth checking out.
- Jeff & Some Aliens (Com) Series Premiere, Wednesday, 10:30pm – An animated look at a regular dude and some ‘chill’ aliens probably isn’t my cup of tea.
- Taking the Stage (ABC) Thursday, 9pm – Entertainers gather for the opening of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.
- My Kitchen Rules (Fox) Series Premiere, Thursday 9pm – Celebrity pairs take on dinner parties and of course critique.
- The Investigator (Net) Series Premiere, Friday – Another look at real life crime, British style.
- A Series of Unfortunate Events (Net) Series Premiere, Friday – The movie version of this didn’t get a ton of raves but the series with the always good Neil Patrick Harris is supposed to work on pretty much all levels.
- Sneaky Pete (Am) Series Premiere, Friday – Cranston and Giovani Ribisi pairing up against each other with a mix of cons and good supporting cast worth a try.
- Australian Open (ESPN2) – Opening rounds.
- Victoria (PBS) Series Premiere, Sunday, 9pm – This is supposed to be a soapy take on royalty, though for a non-royal follower between the Crown and the Royals I may be all booked up.
- The Young Pope (HBO) Series Premiere, Sunday, 9pm – At 47 Jude Law isn’t all that ‘young’ but he’ll play the protagonist trying to make the church great again, worth a look.
