For TV viewers like me who still haven’t made the cut, here’s a selection of cable and network shows, movies and specials airing Monday through Sunday, March 4-10. Details and times are subject to change.
monday
SO YOU THINK YOU ARE GREED 9 p.m. on Fox. This dance competition show returns for its 18th season, with a twist. This year, it’s not just about performing choreography (like the dance living rent-free in my mind) but about setting up contestants for dance careers. In addition to their regular lessons, they will complete challenges that prepare them for dancing in a music video, performing in a football halftime show or starring on Broadway. Jojo Siwa, Allison Holker and Maksim Chmerkovskiy return as judges.
Tuesday
ALERT: MISSING PERSON UNIT 9 p.m. on Fox. Procedural dramas are like reality shows — there’s a seemingly endless variety of niches, and I can’t get enough. If you’ve been around “Law & Order,” “NCIS,” “Chicago PD,” you can start this new series. Set in the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit, and presented in a “Criminal Minds” style, each episode follows the team as it investigates a disappearance throughout the story arc.
CANVAS REVOLUTION 9 p.m. on HBO. Nikzad Nodjoumi, known as “Nicky,” was exiled from Iran for his art criticizing the government there. Now his daughter, Sara Nodjoumi, has directed and produced a documentary that investigates the disappearance of hundreds of paintings by her father who was deemed a traitor and aims to find them.
DECISION 2024: SUPER TUESDAY 10 p.m. on NBC. And just like that, four years have passed again, and it’s Super Tuesday again. Sixteen states will hold their primaries today, as the election process moves one giant step closer to cementing the nominees of the major parties. NBC is hosting a panel of journalists and experts to break down the results live and provide analysis.
Wednesday
THE CHALLENGE 8 pm on MTV. There is something thrilling about an all-stars edition. And lucky for me, to combat the post “Love Island: All Stars” blues, this long-running, physically brutal reality show is gathering a group of veteran contestants in Cape Town to compete for a $300,000 that grand prize.
ERIKA JAYNE: ALL BET ON BLONDE 9 pm on Bravo. Erika Jayne first made a name for herself on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” And like Ariana Madix — who brought her Scandoval momentum to Broadway, and currently stars in “Chicago” — Jayne is bringing her talents to Las Vegas for a fall residency. And since executives at Bravo apparently never sleep, the cameras followed him as he prepared for this new challenge, which fans can now watch as a two-hour documentary.
Thursday
STATE OF THE UNION 9 pm on various networks. President Biden gave his third State of the Union address this week, which was broadcast live by ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and PBS. His speech is likely to highlight current foreign and domestic issues, such as funding for Ukraine and Israel; maybe he will also talk about immigration.
friday
HIGHTOWN 9 p.m. on Starz. After three seasons of following Massachusetts State Trooper Jackie Quiñones as she investigates drug-related crimes and the murders of sex workers, while trying to stay sober, the show is coming to an end.
Saturday
BELOW DECK MARATHON starting at 8 am on Bravo. The original show in this franchise is now in Season 11, but if you’re nostalgic for some Captain Lee and Kate Chastain banter, catch the early season marathon on Bravo. You can start bright and early with the first episode of Season 2, ending your day at the end of Season 3. Watching all the stews carefully prepare the beds (don’t forget the corners of the hospital!) and scrubbing toilets can be inspiring. .
Sunday
THE OSCARS 7 pm on ABC. It’s been a whirlwind of awards season (see our coverage of the Golden Globes, Emmys, Grammys and SAG-AFTRA Awards), leading up to the movie awards with the highest stakes. “Oppenheimer” is up for 13 nominations, and “Barbie” has eight. “Poor Things,” “The Holdovers” and “American Fiction” were other big titles of the night.
