Snowpiercer 9/8c, TNT Editors’ Choice Of all the improbable things that occur on Snowpiercer—set in a postapocalyptic frozen wasteland where humanity exists on a perpetually moving train—Season 3 premiered last week with a doozy. Layton (Daveed Diggs) and his fellow insurrectionists on the breakaway train found a survivor out there: Asha, a former nuclear technician living alone in a bunker. Even more improbable is how new cast member Archie Panjabi (right, with Diggs) prepped for the role of her wary, traumatized character. “I drew inspiration from my [real-life] four-legged friend Mr. Q, a rescue dog,” she reveals. “Nobody knew what had happened to him, but he was suspicious of everything, always watching and listening closely, ready to attack, even if he was being offered food.” Little is known about Asha…

Editors’ Choice Jeopardy! National College Championship SERIES PREMIERE 8/7c, ABC IT’S AS CLOSE to March Madness as Jeopardy! is going to get! Thirty-six students from three dozen colleges and universities around the country duke it out in this two-week primetime bracket-style tournament. “I love the idea of bringing the college spirit, which is normally associated with athletics, to academics,” says host Mayim Bialik. She tells us more. Which schools are represented? Will we see any juicy rivalries? We have Ivy Leagues, very small colleges, historically Black colleges. I was hoping for a UCLA–USC rivalry, but UCLA didn’t get selected. We do have USC, so for a Southern California Bruin, it was exciting to have my state represented.

“The world got kind of sad. I’m going to cheer it up”—SAGET, IN A 2019 INTERVIEW WITH TV INSIDER THE HEARTBREAKING NEWS broke Sunday afternoon, January 9. Bob Saget—actor, comedian, beloved husband, dad and friend, plus a television father figure to generations of Americans—had passed away earlier that day in Florida at 65. The night prior, Saget was onstage, happily playing the second date of his newly launched I Don’t Do Negative standup comedy tour. After his act, he tweeted out a typically gracious thank-you that summed up his joy for living and performing: “Loved tonight’s show…. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight.

Inventing Anna SERIES PREMIERE Friday, Feb. 11, Netflix EVEN BY THE skyscraper-high standards of New York City, Anna Delvey lived an enviable life: designer clothes from Bergdorf Goodman, lavish vacations abroad, private jets.… All of which she scammed, lied or stole to get. See, Anna was not a German heiress with a $60 million trust fund as she claimed. She was a con artist who bilked members of Manhattan society out of cash and services while seeking investors for a multimillion-dollar private club she hoped to build. Inventing Anna dramatizes the headline-grabbing true story about the glamorous, enigmatic criminal. She’s “a woman who knew where she wanted to end up,” executive producer Betsy Beers says, “and was willing to do whatever it took to get there.” Emmy winner Julia Garner…

Ozark AVAILABLE NOW ORIGINAL DRAMA Washing off the splattered blood of murdered cartel lawyer Helen Pierce is not the stickiest situation money launderers Marty and Wendy Byrde find themselves in. Picking up where we last saw the gore-covered couple—at the Mexico home of their boss, cartel leader Omar Navarro (Felix Solis)—the series throws them another curveball. Navarro wants Marty and Wendy (Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, above) to establish him as a legitimate businessman, so he can ditch the drug biz and come and go freely to the U.S. Showrunner Chris Mundy admits this “impossible” job is tempting for the Byrdes, since it also offers an exit strategy for them: “One more task and they’re really, truly out.” Trouble is, the Byrdes’ once-trusted associate Ruth (Julia Garner), who joined forces…

Resident Alien Wednesday, Feb. 9, 9/8c, Syfy PICK OF THE WEEK! For an extraterrestrial who learned about mankind by watching Law & Order reruns, Resident Alien’s invader remains hilariously clueless in the dramedy’s sharp-as-ever Season 2. On a mission to destroy Earth, Alan Tudyk’s prickly creature (above, in alien and human form) is stranded and has assumed the identity of Harry Vanderspeigle, a pathologist vacationing in Patience, Colorado. Following the murder of the small town’s physician, Harry—who comes from a planet with an unpronounceable name and has the worst bedside manner—took over the practice, which gave him time to plot his catastrophic mission, adjust to life on Earth… and come to terms with his developing humanlike emotions. “It’s really great to play a character who, since he is like a…

That mystery is just the start of the trouble in the Starz drama’s sixth season (premiering Sunday, March 6, 9/8c). Says executive producer Matthew B. Roberts, the Frasers face “a war, lingering bad guys that weren’t taken care of in Season 5 and the [newly arrived] Christie family that are kind of a new cool villain.” The Show We’re Talking About in the Office Mix equal parts Lord of the Flies, TV show Lost and 1993 film Alive, sprinkle in some mean girls, and you have the delicious stew…

Big Fish (2003) A journalist (Billy Crudup) who has a strained relationship with his tall-tale-telling father (Albert Finney) looks into dad’s out-there stories. Keep the Kleenex close! Cadillac Records (2008) Fascinating biopic of Chess Records founder Leonard Chess (Adrien Brody), who worked with greats such as Etta James (Beyoncé) and Chuck Berry (Mos Def).

The Girl…

Riveted: The History of Jeans 9/8c, PBS (check local listings at pbs.org) We are what we wear—and nowhere is that more evident than in our relationship with jeans, that most familiar item of clothing that textiles curator Melissa Leventon describes as “the quintessential American garment.” Weaving threads of our nation’s past into a cultural tapestry of denim’s ever-changing status in society, American Experience delivers an entertaining and enlightening dual history lesson in Riveted, which lives up to its appropriately punny title. Long before Levi’s made jeans a household name, a rough denim cloth dyed in indigo was worn in the South by slaves. Laborers of all sorts soon adopted the durable fabric, which became fashionable during the Great Depression with the help of nostalgic movie Westerns. Dude ranches further expanded…
