What's On Tonight (Sunday): Be afraid

Two Sentence Horror Stories

Spin that wheel! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, January 30!

Our top pick tonight is Two Sentence Horror Stories (The CW, 9 & 9:30 p.m.), an anthology series about terror of all types. At the start of an episode, you get the first sentence. After the episodes' horrors, you get the second. The show is also pretty diverse, frequently focusing on various minority groups for subjects.

Elsewhere, 80 Days gets to Hong Kong, 1883 crosses the river, the DEA closes in on Claws, 60 Minutes lasts 120 minutes, The Rookie does chores, Smiling Friends closes season 1, and W. Kamau Bell wants to Talk About Cosby.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
