What's On Tonight (Monday): How full was my Monty

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's reluctant Top Pick is The Real Full Monty, premiering at 8 p.m. on FOX. Oh, why couldn't they have done this before Tyler Posey overdid it with tattoos? Still, props to the blonde lady for selling her reaction shot.

While I marvel at how they managed to get a two-hour special out of this, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, Dec. 9. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Dalgliesh, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. "Cover Her Face, Parts I and II." "A murder in the house of an influential family brings Commander Dalgliesh to the heart of Essex. As he considers the prospect of a politically motivated attack, a local man comes forward with an explosive allegation." Later, "Through a pair of grueling interrogations, the victim's life comes into sharper focus, but will it lead the police to their killer? After a shocking confession is made, Dalgliesh realizes he has been lied to." Both installments directed by Bertie Carvel. Two episodes available. Season finale next week.
