Sugar, spice, and everything nice: The Powerpuff Girls are back
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Monday, January 20. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
The Powerpuff Girls: Dance Pantsed (Cartoon Network, 7:30 p.m.): It’s true: Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles are back for a half-hour special tonight—in CGI! We were a little skeptical of this reincarnation, because creator Craig McCracken isn’t attached to it. But Sonia Saraiya reviewed the special for us and found it absolutely charming—she gave it an A. Admittedly, she has a soft spot for Octi. If you’re a Powerpuff fan, you’ll have to catch it tonight and decide for yourself.
ALSO NOTED
Sleepy Hollow (Fox, 8 p.m.): Last week, our heroes Abbie and Ichabod discovered a mysterious date written in George Washington’s bible. Tonight, in Sleepy Hollow’s two-hour finale, this unexpectedly delightful supernatural drama is closes out its first season with something about Washington’s death being mysterious! In her review of the season so far, Sonia Saraiya argues that the show isn’t aspiring to be much except a fantastic B-show—a goal it has largely accomplished. Now Zack Handlen will review tonight’s episodes. Remember: Two-part finale, ONE HUNDRED PARTS AWESOME.
Archer (FX, 10 p.m.): Pam spends most of tonight’s episode encased in a body cast made of cocaine, because this Archer Vice thing is really happening. Sonia Saraiya would have broken her arms more often if she knew she could get casts made of angeldust.
