What's working ... Jan. 26

Sullenberger

1. Chesley B. Sullenberger III. After withdrawing from a "Today" show appearance that would have featured only him and his family, the pilot who safely landed US Airways 1549 in the Hudson River will be interviewed Feb. 8 by Katie Couric for "60 Minutes" ... along with entire crew.

2. "The Singing Revolution" on DVD Feb. 3. If you don't know Estonia from Ethiopia, then you obviously haven't seen this exhilarating documentary about the bloodless coup that brought this tiny Baltic people independence and prosperity in four-part harmony.

3. "The Prisoner" on amctv.com. In anticipation of its remake of the 1960s cult hit starring the late Patrick McGoohan, AMC has restored all 17 episodes and put them online.

….AND WHAT'S NOT

1. Bishop Robinson deleted from HBO's "We Are One." Team Obama apologized but never explained why the openly gay clergyman -- and supposed counterpoint to anti-gay-marriage pastor Rick Warren -- was left off the concert broadcast.

2. Rick Warren featured at the invocation. And don't tell the gays to get over it, either. What if someone compared you to a pedophile?

3. "The Last Templar" on NBC. Is it over yet?
