Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, February 21. All times are Eastern.
Top picks
Bob’s Burgers (Fox, 9 p.m., mid-season premiere): It’s bleak out there, dear readers. But hey, the burger-of-the-day awaits you, so that’s one good thing! Right?
This Valentine’s Day-themed winter premiere was originally scheduled for last week, but assuming there are no very important car races happening, it should finally air tonight. Like recapper extraordinaire Les Chappell, we can hardly wait.
Allen V. Farrow (HBO, 9 p.m., limited docuseries premiere): “HBO’s Allen V. Farrow is an overwhelming documentary series; its emotional intensity should come with a trigger warning. The docuseries scrutinizes the sexual abuse allegations against Oscar-winning director Woody Allen made by adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow in 1992, when she was only 7. This case has been excessively covered by the media for decades now, but Allen V. Farrow attempts to go beyond headlines by featuring intimate interviews with Dylan, her mother Mia Farrow (Allen’s former partner), brothers Ronan and Fletcher Farrow, as well as other family friends, witnesses, experts, journalists, and investigators. For the most part, the docuseries is a powerful venture. It gives Dylan a safe space to recount traumatic experiences, goes down the rabbit hole of the Farrow-Allen custody battle, and uncovers more about Allen’s marriage with Mia’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn. Most importantly, it acts as a damning mirror for the society that let Allen thrive after the allegations became a major public scandal.” Read the rest of Saloni Gajjar’s pre-air review here. The four-part series will air weekly on Sundays.
Regular coverage
American Gods (Starz, 8 p.m.)
A quick programming note: You can currently stream the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead via AMC Plua, so if that Plus is among the many Plusses on your streaming subscription roster, you can watch it now. However, our recap will run next Sunday, when the episode airs on AMC proper.
Stephen Robinson will be back to cover The Equalizer midseason and finale episodes.
Wild cards
Men In Kilts: A Roadtrip With Sam And Graham: Food And Drink (Starz, 9 p.m.): We touched on this affable travelogue series (a bro-ad trip? Maybe?) but seriously, if you want some top-notch landscape porn, charming accents, and knee sightings, Starz has got you covered.
The Story Of The Songs, “Céline Dion: Story Of Her Songs” (Reelz, 9 p.m.): What can you expect from this look at the songs of La Céline? Well, probably some moments of cold, some flashes of light, some things she’ll never do again but then they always seemed right.

Is Bob’s Burgers really back or is there another packed NASCAR race with very few masks in sight? I’ve been hurt before.
It aired last week somewhere, possibly Canada** , as it turned up on the usual naughty* streaming sites on Monday.(*not that kind of naughty pervert!).**(yup checked and it was citytv so Canada)
it turned up on the usual naughty* streaming sites on MondayBut not on the torrent sites I a friend normally uses. Where did you find it?
I …er ..asked my friend and he said something about googling for kimcartoon , I obviously dont know what he means (and also support shows you like by watching them when they’re available in your region)
yeah that bullshit fucked up my dvr recording.
There was in fact another car racing thing (not sure if it was NASCAR or not, but it’s all the same) today but it seems to have ended on time this time.
I wish I had photoshop skills. That Allen v. Farrow pic looks like it needs to turn into a tribute to Just The Ten Of Us.
I was hoping that calling it AMC Plua was intentional and would continue through the rest of the paragraph, but alas, it was just a simple typo. They should be Plua though. Differentiates it from all the others.
As in, “Another ‘Walking Dead’ spinoff? Plua!”
The lack of coverage for Batwoman is really disappointing. This season has been excellent so far.
