The best choices
Bob’s burgers (Fox, 9 p.m., mid-season premiere): It’s gloomy there, dear readers. But hey, the burger of the day is waiting for you, so that’s a good thing! Right?
This Valentine’s Day-themed winter premiere was originally scheduled for last week, but assuming there will be no major car races, it should finally air tonight. Like the extraordinary recapper Les Chappell, we can hardly wait.
Allen V. Farrow (HBO, 9 p.m., limited to docuseries): “HBO Allen V. Farrow it is an overwhelming documentary series; his emotional intensity should come with a trigger warning. Documents examine allegations of sexual abuse of Oscar-winning director Woody Allen by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow in 1992, when he was just 7 years old. This case was overly covered by the media decades ago, but Allen V. Farrow she tries to overcome the headlines through 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, docuseries is a powerful business. It gives Dylan a safe space to recount traumatic experiences, descends into the rabbit hole of the Farrow-Allen custody battle, and discovers more about Allen’s marriage to Mia Soon-Yi Previn’s adopted daughter. Most importantly, it acts as a cursing 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.

Wild cards
Men In Kilts: A Roadtrip With Sam And Graham: Food and Drink (Starz, 9 p.m.): We referred to this series of travel trips (a bro-advertising trip? Maybe?), But seriously, if you want some top scenery porn, charming accents and knee-highs, Starz has you covered.
The story of the songs, “Céline Dion: the story of her songs” (Reelz, 9 p.m.): What can you expect from this look at La Céline’s songs? Well, probably a few moments of cold, some flashes of light, some things he will never do again, but then they always seemed right to me.
