1) “American Masters,” 9 p.m., PBS. Before glam rock, before the phrase “rock ‘n’ roll” was popular, there was Little Richard (shown here). Ringo Starr and Keith Richards were both teen fans. They’re included in this documentary; so is Pat Boone, now 89, who covered “Tutti Frutti,” blissfully unaware of any sexual connotations. It’s a fascinating story that sees Richard survive drugs, deceit and bias.
2) “Transplant,” 8 p.m., NBC. This show left its characters in crisis, then was bumped last week by figure-skating. Now it’s back: Claire, a nurse practitioner, was inexplicably stabbed; Bash is temporarily helping at a refugee camp. Meanwhile, new crises appear, in a typically strong episode.
3) “Fire Country” and “Blue Bloods,” 9 and 10 p.m., CBS. Warming up for their season-openers on Feb. 16, both shows rerun the second-to-last episodes of the current season. On “Fire Company,” a private company set a backfire that protects a high-end winery, but endangers others. On “Blue Bloods,” Baez and her daughter are stalked by someone she once sent to prison.
4) “Groundhog Day” (1993), 11 a.m., AMC; then 1:30, 4, 6:30, 9 and11:30 p.m. This Bill Murray gem has the same day repeating over and over. So, on the actual Groundhog Day, it runs over and over. Other fun movies include the witty “Princess Bride” (1987) at 7:30 p.m. on BBC America and the delightful “Barbie” (2023) at 8 on HBO.
5) “Orion and the Dark,” Netflix. Charlie Kaufman’s scripts – “Being John Malkovich,” “Adaptation,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” — often toy cleverly with reality. Now he’s detoured to write an animated film about a fearful kid who literally meets Dark. That wraps a streaming week that added major mini-series – “Genius: MLK/X” on Disney + and “Feud: Capore vs. The Swans” on Hulu.
