What's On Tonight (Sunday): Music's biggest night

Grammy Awards

Chaos Comin'! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, February 5!

Our Top Pick tonight is one-fourth of the famed EGOT, the 65th Grammy Awards (CBS, 8 p.m.). This year's ceremony sees ABBA vs. Lizzo vs. Brandi Carlile vs. Adele vs. Kendrick Lamar vs. Doja Cat and others in the top categories. There will be an open thread for anyone (like me) who casually watches! I rarely walk away from the Grammys happy with the winners, but it does put on a good show, though it should be cut down to 3 hours.

Elsewhere, a Home kid double dates with her teen parents, the Curious Caterer finds a new mystery, Showtime investigates Murder in Big Horn1923 returns, Food Network has a Grudge, James Cameron answers Titanic mysteries, Baltimore's Bullies get 30 for 30 treatment, Chris and Jeff George eased the Pain, and Decades remembers Lisa Loring.

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