TV Notes: Grammys take stage on CBS tonight

Chuck Barney Mcclatchy-Tribune

Don’t miss

THE 55TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS: Yes, we want to see who takes home the trophies during “music’s biggest night,” but mostly we crave the performances and the offbeat pairings of artists (such as Alicia Keys and Maroon 5) on stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Oh, and we also want someone to explain the difference between record of the year and song of the year. LL Cool J hosts. 8 p.m. Today, CBS.

Other bets

TODAY: Let the splatterfest resume. “The Walking Dead” kicks off the second half of its marvelous third season, and we’re pretty sure that the incensed governor (David Morrissey) will want an eye for an eye. 9 p.m., AMC.

TODAY: “Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome” is a TV movie prequel that chronicles the early days of William Adama (Luke Pasqualino) as a young and eager academy graduate during the first Cylon War. 8 p.m., Syfy.

MONDAY: “Survivor” with leashes? Not really, but the 137th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show offers its own brand of rugged competition. Round 1 begins tonight at Madison Square Garden. 8 p.m., CNBC.

MONDAY: Anyone for some fresh snakehead? That’s one of the offbeat meals in the spotlight as “Bizarre Foods America” pays a visit to Washington, D.C. 9 p.m., Travel Channel.

TUESDAY: “The Face” is a new supermodel search that has 12 attractive wannabes moving into a posh loft and trying to prove that they’re ready for their close-ups. Naomi Campbell and fellow models Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha oversee the competition. 9 p.m., Bravo.

WEDNESDAY: “Survivor: Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites” pits 10 “ultra fans” of the show against 10 former castaways as host Jeff Probst eggs them on the whole way. 8 p.m., CBS.

WEDNESDAY: Season 5 of the terrific cop series “Southland” finds Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) at odds with a new trainee, an Afghanistan War veteran. Meanwhile, Lydia (Regina King) tries to juggle the demands of motherhood with detective work. 10 p.m., TNT.

THURSDAY: Anthony Edwards (“ER”) returns to series television in “Zero Hour.” He plays the publisher of a myth-busting magazine who is drawn into a centuries-old conspiracy after his wife (Jacinda Barrett) is abducted. 8 p.m., ABC.

THURSDAY: “Glee” couple Will and Emma (Matthew Morrison, Jayma Mays) have picked Valentine’s Day to finally tie the knot. Naturally, past and present members of New Directions convene to celebrate the nuptials. 9 p.m., Fox.

FRIDAY: In the first of a two-part installment of “Kitchen Nightmares,” Chef Gordon Ramsay heads to Norwalk, Ohio, where he encounters an inflexible owner with a bad attitude. We’re guessing that some yelling ensues. 8 p.m., Fox.

SATURDAY: You saw her at halftime during the Super Bowl. Now see her in a feature-length documentary. “Life is But a Dream,” directed by Beyonce herself, promises to provide “raw, unprecedented access” to the pop superstar. 9 p.m., HBO.
