What’s on TV This Week: the Oscars and the State of the Union

For TV viewers like me who still haven’t cut the cord, here is a selection of cable and network shows, movies and specials broadcasting Monday through Sunday, March 4-10. Details and times are subject to change.

Monday

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE 9 p.m. on Fox. This dance competition show is back for its 18th season, with a twist. This year, it’s not just about performing choreography (like the dance that lives rent-free in my head) but about setting up contestants for careers in dance. In addition to their usual lessons, they will complete challenges that prepare them for dancing in a music video, performing at a football halftime show or starring on Broadway. Jojo Siwa, Allison Holker and Maksim Chmerkovskiy return as judges.

Tuesday

ALERT: MISSING PERSONS UNIT 9 p.m. on Fox. Procedural dramas are like reality shows — there is a seemingly infinite variety of niches, and I can’t get enough. If you’ve already cycled through “Law & Order,” “NCIS,” “Chicago P.D.,” then you can start this new series. Set at the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit, and presented in the style of “Criminal Minds,” each episode follows the team as it investigates a disappearance through an entire story arc.

REVOLUTION ON CANVAS 9 p.m. on HBO. Nikzad Nodjoumi, known as “Nicky,” was exiled from Iran because of his art criticizing the government there. Now his daughter, Sara Nodjoumi, has directed and produced a documentary that investigates the disappearance of hundreds of her father’s paintings that were deemed treasonous and aims to locate them.

DECISION 2024: SUPER TUESDAY 10 p.m. on NBC. And just like that, another four years have passed, and it is again Super Tuesday. Sixteen states hold their primaries on this day, as the election process moves one giant step closer to cementing the major parties’ nominees. NBC is hosting a panel of journalists and experts to break down the results live and provide analysis.
