Bob’s Burgers (Fox, 9 p.m., mid-season premiere): It is bleak outside, dear readers. Anyway, the burger-of-the-day is waiting for you, so that’s a good thing! Turn right?
This Valentine’s Day themed winter premiere was originally scheduled for last week, but assuming there aren’t any very important car races taking place, it should finally air tonight. Like Les Chappell extraordinaire, we can hardly wait.
Allen V. Farrow (HBO, 9 p.m., limited premiere docuseries): “HBOs Allen V. Farrow is an overwhelming documentary series; its emotional intensity should be accompanied by a trigger warning. The docuseries investigates the sexual abuse allegations against Oscar-winning director Woody Allen, made by adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow in 1992, when she was just 7. This case has been overly covered by the media for decades, but Allen V. Farrow tries to go beyond the headlines by giving intimate interviews with Dylan, her mother Mia Farrow (Allen’s former partner), brothers Ronan and Fletcher Farrow, as well as other family friends, witnesses, experts, journalists and investigators. The docuseries is, for the most part, a powerful endeavor. It gives Dylan a safe space to narrate traumatic experiences, goes down the rabbit hole of the Farrow-Allen custody battle, and reveals more about Allen’s marriage to Mia’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn. Most importantly, it acts as a scathing mirror to the society that Allen allowed to thrive after the allegations turned into a major public scandal. ” Read the rest of Saloni Gajjar’s pre-air review hereThe four-part series is broadcast weekly on Sundays.

Men In Kilts: A Roadtrip With Sam And Graham: Food and Drink (Starz, 9 p.m.): We’ve touched on this affable travelogue series (a bro-ad trip? Maybe?), But seriously, if you want some top-notch landscape porn, charming accents, and knee-jerk views, Starz has you covered.
The story of the songs, “Céline Dion: Story Of Her Songs” (Reelz, 9 pm): What can you expect from this look at La Céline’s songs? Well, probably a few moments of cold, a few flashes of light, some things she’ll never do again, but they always seemed right.
