TV picks for Jan. 30: 'Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes,' Dan Patrick, 'Black Earth Rising'

Back on the beat

“Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television” was renewed for another season, a development that seems to have shocked the people making this irreverent spoof of all things Hollywood, especially the buddy-cop drama. The sitcom’s second chance at life is mined for laughs over and over again with a cast that winks so hard at the audience that they should be required to see an optometrist.

No offense to Joe Buck, but the sports-talk show “Undeniable” got a major upgrade when Dan Patrick signed up to replace him as host. Anyone who listens to Patrick’s radio show knows he’s one of the best interviewers in the business, so it should be enlightening to watch him sit down this season with Ray Lewis, Rod Woodson and others for an hour each.
