Admittedly "opportunistic" CW execs say "there's always controversy with some sports" in defending its broadcast of LIV Golf. Yet no other sports draw criticism by Human Rights Watch and 9/11 Families, or boycotts by some of its top athletes. #TCA24

Snoop Dogg says he'll be "doing all the things that Snoop Dogg does" when covering the Paris Olympics for NBC this summer. But I imagine he won't be allowed to do all the things Snoop Dogg does on air. #TCA24

NBC says they won't hold back on Paris Olympics coverage, showing live finals in the afternoons, and putting together highlights for prime time. #TCA24

Cool that Snoop Dogg is a special commentator for NBC's Paris Olympics coverage, but a little disappointed his jumpsuit this morning is emblazoned with an oversized peacock logo. #TCA24

Super slim Billy Gardell, who lost 150 pounds, looks more like a TV detective than star of “Bob 🫀Abishola.” “I lost a baseball team,” he says on set. #TCA24

No need to explain this season’s end of “Young Sheldon”; star Iain Armitage is twice as tall as he was when the spinoff started in 2019. #TCA24

Random Tardis sitting next to the “Young Sheldon” set hints at future “Doctor Who” themed episode. #TCA24

On the set of NBC’s “Night Court,” an exacting replica of the original blueprints, where John Larroquette says it’s odd being the only survivor from the original cast. #TCA24

Shocking thing I disovered about the PBS Passport: Not accepted at airports. #TCA24

Next year's 50th anniversary of "Austin City Limits," TV's longest running music program, will be noted on PBS with archival shows and roster of new performances. #TCA24

Hadn’t expected PBS to celebrate “Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution.” The new three-part documentary series comes June 18 (but is produced by BBC studios). #TCA24

Ken Burns' first non-American subject for a documentary comes Nov. 18 and 19, a two-part, four-hour work on Leonardo da Vinci. #TCA24

[Roger Catlin @rcatlin]

Big project coming from Ken Burns: A six-part, 12-hour PBS documentary on the American Revolution in fall 2025, on eve of the country's 250th birthday. #TCA24

Women bring the spark in Usher's #superbowlhalftime with Alicia Keys on piano, H.E.R. on Prince-style guitar.

Not a stellar bunch. https://t.co/GVbZyAR18C

Mariana Van Zeller of Nat Geo's "Trafficked" is here momentarily to talk about being caught in last year's military coup in Niger while reporting on gold mining there that funds terrorist cells (so clearly she got out). #TCA24

[Roger Catlin @rcatlin]

Nat Geo jumps into true crime with "Pathological: Chasing a Tue Crime Con Man," about a French true crime expert who claimed he had been a victim. based on the reporting of Lauren Collins, New Yorker staff writer. #TCA24

[Roger Catlin @rcatlin]

Stanley Tucci speaks to us from Sicily, about the move of his travel show to Nat Geo. Why aren't we there? #TCA24
