1) Grammy awards, 8-11:30 p.m. ET, CBS. Trevor Noah hosts a night stuffed with music. Performers includes Sza (shown here), Billy Joel, Dua Lipa, Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, Luke Combs, Joni Mitchell, Burna Boy and Olivia Rodrigo. Sza leads with nine nominations; for album of the year, she faces Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monae, Boygenius and Jon Batiste.
2) “Curb Your Enthusiasm” season-opener, 10:05 p.m., HBO. Larry David has done this gradually. There have been gaps – one lasted six years – and he’s had 12 seasons in 24 years. The result has been slyly funny, in a low-key, improvised way. Now David, 76, says this is the final season. It starts with the birthday party of an Atlanta businessman.
3) “All Creatures Great and Small,” 9 p.m., PBS. Slowly and quietly, this offers a deeply moving look at good people in a bad time. As World War II grows, Jame will be called up soon. But what happens to the veterinary practice? Or to his wife, as their baby nears? Without a false note or a wayward emotion, this builds strong emotion.
4) “Miss Scarlett and the Duke” and “Funny Woman,” 8 and 10 p.m., PBS. “Scarlett” repeats its past flaws – a silly opener that makes smart people seem inept, a quick ending with an unforced confession. “Funny” starts with a banishment and ends with a surprise. We’ll have to wait a week for the finish … and PBS has foolishly scheduled three finales to air on Super Bowl evening.
5) MORE: Tonight’s “Monsieur Spade” (the fourth of six clever episodes) is surrounded by a great mystery movie: “Knives Out” (2019) is at 6 and 10 p.m., with “Spade” at 9. Also at 9 are two other six-parters – the fourth episode of HBO’s “True Detective” and third of Showtime’s “The Woman in the Wall.” In the latter, Lorna clings to sanity and to the hope of finding the child who was snatched from her at birth.
