14 l January 2 - 8, 2022 tonight’s best Adrienne Warren 8 p.m. on ABC Women of the Movement A racially motivated 1950s murder is at the heart of this compelling six-episode limited series, which revisits the notori- ous Emmett Till case from the perspective of his grieving moth- er. Tonight’s two-hour premiere opens as Mamie Till-Mobley (Tony Award winner Adrienne Warren of Broadway’s “Tina”) reluctantly agrees to let her rest- less 14-year-old son, Emmett (Cedric Joe, “Space Jam: A New Legacy”), spend his sum- mer vacation with relatives in Mississippi. Just days after his arrival there, however, Emmett goes missing. 8:31 p.m. on CBS United States of Al When Al (Adhir Kalyan) invites Professor Williams (John Ross Bowie, reprising his guest role) to join the family for dinner, he’s taken aback when the academic starts flirting outrageously with Lizzie (Elizabeth Alderfer), and vice versa, in the new episode “Professor/Ustad.” Meanwhile, Riley (Parker Young) seeks help from a therapist after he experiences a physical snag in his relationship with Holly (guest star Amanda Payton). Blake Clark also guest stars; Dean Norris and Kelli Goss also are featured. 9 p.m. on WTBS Go-Big Show Bert Kreischer is back as host of this extreme competition series featuring some of the wildest and most extreme acts imaginable, as it opens Season 2 with “We’re Back, Bigger Than Ever!” In the season premiere, the dangerous acts risk fire, ice, extreme heights and their stomachs to win a shot at the $100,000 prize. Other upcoming new episodes feature every- thing from underwater escape artists and bull jumpers to jaw-dropping feats of strength. Judges include T-Pain, Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Nettles and Cody Rhodes.
