What to Watch: January 24 - 30

New Music Live - Thursday January 27, 5PM ET/PT, MuchMusic

The cast of 'Pretty Little Liars' is in attendance for a full hour at MuchMusic's downtown Toronto headquarters.

I'll probably be one of them.

Assault and Rescue: Operation Thunderball - Sunday January 30, 8PM ET/PT, Discovery

Bound from Tel Aviv to Paris, Air France Flight 139 was hijacked on June 27, 1976, by a group of Palestinian and German terrorists and flown to Entebbe, Uganda. There were 246 passengers and a dozen crew members on board, more than half of them Israeli citizens. After several days, all non-Jewish passengers were released; secretly, the Israeli Defense Forces prepared to mount one of the most complicated –- and radical -– missions ever to rescue the 102 hostages who remained.
