Having hitched its venerable “Biography” franchise to the outsized characters of professional wrestling, it’s only natural that A&E present “Biography: KISStory” (9 p.m. Sunday, A&E, TV-14). The two-hour special offers a glance at the band’s 50-year run and interviews founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.
Much like wrestling, KISS has packaged the “shocking” as a predictable costumed performance, presented with a disciplined attention to detail. Neither their brand of rock nor professional wrestling has much room for modesty or subtlety, so “KISStory” is presented as the story of “one of the most successful and influential bands of all time.”
