Rachel Bloom won a Critics’ Choice Award, so you know what that means

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Monday, January 18. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (The CW, You make the time… a.m./p.m.): Yes, we’re making the top pick a show that isn’t even on with an episode—new or otherwise—tonight. But Rachel Bloom won a Critics’ Choice Award last night (to go with her nice, shiny Golden Globe Award), so we’re going to endorse Crazy Ex-Girlfriend again. And again. And then again. You’re annoyed, we know. But we’re actually quite annoyed that you still refuse to watch good television. This is TV Club—it’s righteous annoyance on our part. Come on! Pretend it’s Fargo if you have to. Just consider this all a fear you need to face:
Also noted
Supergirl (CBS, 8 p.m.): Whoops, Toyman’s escaped from prison. So those of you who still haven’t warmed to Winn “Nice Guy” Scott, good luck on your journey when his daddy issues come into play. On the bright side, Henry Czerny plays Toyman, and that’s something we should have realized we needed during Revenge. Wait, we’re sorry: REEEEEEVEEEENGE! You can take it from here, Caroline Siede.
The HALO Effect (Nickelodeon, 8 p.m.): The HALO Effect is a “brand-new pro-social docu-series” from Nickelodeon, which is making its debut on the perfect day: Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The show will air monthly, and “each 30-minute episode will highlight a teen who is making a positive change in their community and inspiring others to do the same.” In tonight’s premiere, “a teen focused on helping kids who don’t have beds prepares for a pajama fund-raiser.”
WWE Monday Night RAW (USA, 8 p.m.): At this point, we’re fairly certain everyone on the WWE main roster is out with an injury—especially the ones who vehemently deny being injured—so please stay tuned for three hours of… Um… Good luck, Kyle Fowle.
War & Peace (A&E/History Channel/Lifetime, 9 p.m.): This is the premiere of a four part miniseries event that is airing simultaneously on three different networks. But it didn’t just win Critics’ Choice and Golden Globe Awards, so “Also noted,” it is. But yes, War & Peace: Russia! Passion! Romance! Russia! Aristocrats! War! Peace? Russia. War & Peace is considered in some circles—you know, circles that would want this to be the top pick—to be “the greatest novel ever written.” Will that translate to a miniseries on A&E, History Channel, and Lifetime? A cast of Gillian Anderson (some show cannibals and another about aliens, which Alex McCown wrote a pre-air review about), Paul Dano (Love And Mercy), Lily James (Pride And Prejudice And Zombies), James Norton (Happy Valley), and Jim Broadbent (Iris) sure hope so. Molly Eichel’s pre-air review of the miniseries can’t hurt either.

What else is on?
Clarence (Cartoon Network, 5 p.m.): Is it strange that any mention of Cartoon Network series Clarence just makes us think of “#ClassicJarles”?
