The Grammys this Sunday and the Super Bowl next means there aren’t a lot of premieres.
But hold on to your hats, cowboys, because February 6 will see all kinds of goodness hitting the airwaves.
But this week, we have plenty to enjoy from goofy made-for-tv movies from our favorite networks to the preliminary Puppy and Kitten Bowl activities featuring older, adopted or adoptable critters on the gridiron.
And we’re also marking the ends of an era as Arrow signs off of the airwaves on Tuesday, and we spend our last night in The Good Place on Thursday.
