What's On Tonight (Sunday): House calls for furballs

All Creatures Great and Small

Woof! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, January 24!

Tonight, we honor vets. All Creatures Great and Small follows a trio of veterinary surgeons in small town England. There's the town's vet vet Siegfried Farnon, his underachieving younger brother Tristan, and the newbie James Herriot. There's the housekeeper Mrs. Hall, James' love interest Helen Alderson, and the rich Mrs. Pumphrey (Diana Rigg, RIP). It's a good, undemanding show. Also cute animals who need help!

Elsewhere, NuBatwoman has to be a regular person, Euphoria is back for a second special, Epix's period dramedy Bridge and Tunnel premieres, Charmed returns, witches comes to basic cable, and Shameless recalls the stories of Debbie and Carl.
