DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 8 p.m. on CBS. Seven candidates have qualified for this debate in Charleston, S.C.: Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York, former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota; and the billionaire businessman Tom Steyer. A lot is riding on their performances. The debate comes four days before the South Carolina primary and just before the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses on March 3. Bloomberg may try to redeem himself after scathing attacks on the debate in Las Vegas last week. Warren came out strong with an aggressive performance, while Sanders walked away mostly unharmed, politics reporters for The New York Times wrote in an analysis.
GORDON RAMSAY’S 24 HOURS TO HELL AND BACK 8 p.m. on Fox. In this two-hour season finale, the host Gordon Ramsay tries to save a pizza restaurant and a Korean-inspired eatery in Arkansas. The owner of the pizza place is prone to violent outbursts, while the owner of the Korean-inspired joint lacks the industry know-how to run a successful business.
AMERICAN MASTERS — MILES DAVIS: BIRTH OF THE COOL (2020) 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).

It’s rife with archival gems and features interviews with a long list of big names, including Quincy Jones, Carlos Santana and Clive Davis. In his review for The Times, Glenn Kenny wrote that while there is no shortage of documentaries on Davis, “Birth of the Cool” is “commendably thorough.”

What’s Streaming
PETE DAVIDSON: ALIVE FROM NEW YORK (2020) Stream on Netflix. This year is shaping out to be pretty busy for Pete Davidson. The “Saturday Night Live” cast member stars in Judd Apatow’s upcoming comedy, “The King of Staten Island,” which will debut at the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 13. That same day, he will hit theaters in the Hulu coming-of-age comedy “Big Time Adolescence.” And on Tuesday he showcases his stand-up in this new special, his first for Netflix. Expect some personal, worrying anecdotes: The title may be referring to a troubling Instagram post from late 2018, after his breakup with Ariana Grande. The comedian laughed off the incident on “S.N.L.” soon after, and, more recently, joked about spending time in rehab.
