Today we welcome welcome welcome back John Oliver! We’re also loving standup in Portuguese and the latest episode of our favorite not-a-zombie show. There’s also a cute looking meta rom-com on E! of all places, and a network remake of a quirky Korean show. JASON’S … Continue reading What To Watch: 02/19/2023
Happy Monday! Befitting that day’s signature mood, today’s recommendations each contain “but”s, caveats, for whatever reason. We’re fussy. Maybe we’re also all just Garfields, because we’d absolutely house some lasagna right now. All our recs are also non-fiction and on traditional TV. It’s 1987 all … Continue reading What To Watch: 04/04/2022
The cat-and-mouse game between Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh’s “Eve” enters into its endgame (or does it?) of a fourth season. Meanwhile, a pretty solid set of Sunday night HBO/Showtime offerings carry on with the latter starting a star-studded anthology about online advances(?). FIONA’S PICK:Killing … Continue reading What To Watch: 02/27/2022
A perhaps too on-kilter show featuring Martin Freeman returns, a Scandinavian series about hockey but also about more than hockey wraps it up for the year, and PBS keeps digging for truth with the latest featured doc, this one about racism within the world of … Continue reading What To Watch: 03/22/2021
What a great night of Sunday TV fearuring so much great animation, a 3-wheeled car scam by a flawed trans hero(?), nothing but razzle-dazzle and the amazing return of John Oliver for his long-awaited eighth season. Also a new episode of the longest-running scripted show … Continue reading What To Watch: 02/14/2021
If you’re still not down after all your indulgence in Throne-y goodness (or smugly explaining why you’re not into dragon-and-sandal-based fantasy programming), it’s a day with a lot of superhero choices, but also a rare Monday Netflix show debut (is today the day for streaming … Continue reading What To Watch: 04/15/2019
It’s a full Sunday night, led by the return of those (semi-)reluctant crime bosses played by Retta, Christina Hendricks, and Mae Whitburn! KATHERINE’S PICK: Good Girls [NBC, 10p] Good Girls is back tonight, and the three women are back to old schemes and new tricks. … Continue reading What To Watch: 03/03/2019
It’s one of the most exciting sports days where the action mostly involves nobody playing an actual game. That’s not entirely true, as there will be basketball played all day, but today most of the local tournaments are done and it’s on to the big … Continue reading What to Watch: 03/11/2018
Tonight brings a reboot of a classic show (and before that movie) returns for a second season, the original reality competition show crowns its final victor, and Shonda keeps being Shonda.
KATHERINE’S PICK:
The Odd Couple [CBS, 8:30p]
The second season premiere (?!) features a side plot about the women training for a race…up the stairs of the Empire State Building. Don’t do it, girls! There’s going to be so much puke.
NAVANI’S PICK:
Scandal [ABC, 9p]
Let’s see where we are in the President Fitz vs Jake competition.
JASON’S PICK:
National Lampoon’s Animal House [AMC, 8p]
I didn’t see anything that excited me in the new episodes on major networks, but am I gonna let that stop me. Nothing is over til I say it’s over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? The classic starring the late John Belushi is airing on AMC, and there’s never a bad time to watch it.
ALSO ON TAP TONIGHT:
There’s plenty on the telly, including the show that was both our top show of 2015 and the winner of our March Madness.
NAVANI’S PICK:
Broad City [Comedy, 10p]
In honor of Abbi and Ilana winning our own March Madness competition, they are my pick. Plus, I need to see what happens after Abbi and Trey’s awesome hook up last week.
KATHERINE’S PICK:
The Goldbergs [ABC, 8:30p]
Adam (finally) dives headfirst into D&D.
JASON’S PICK:
The Internet Ruined My Life [Syfy, 10p]
Ok, in truth, I’ll probably be watching BC at this time, but can’t help but be intrigued by a show examining the consequences of oversharing TV spoilers.
