Growing up, TV GUIDE MAGAZINE was the only magazine in my house. My brothers and I would dog-ear pages, highlighting all the must-watch shows and events of the week. Mets game? Check! Beverly Hills, 90210? Check! TV was our babysitter, our hobby, our passion and, for me eventually, my career. Today, TV GUIDE MAGAZINE continues to be the go-to place for all things television. With more than 400 scripted shows—not to mention all those Kardashians and Housewives— and a million ways to watch them, the need for our authority, guidance and commentary has never been greater. To help you navigate it all, we’ve expanded our listings as well as our What’s Worth Watching section—26 pages of curated content that includes the best of daytime, late-night shows to stay up for,…

THE O’REILLY FACTOR Weekdays, 8/7c, Fox News Channel @oreillyfactor LEGENDS & LIES: PATRIOTS Sundays, 8/7c, Fox News Channel @FoxNews FROM 1950S NEWSREEL documentaries about World War II battles like Victory at Sea, through the creation of the History channel in 1995, TV has often looked to the past. But in recent years, there’s been a resurgence of historical programs—AMC’s Turn: Washington’s Spies; HBO’s Lyndon B. Johnson movie All the Way; History’s Hatfields & McCoys, Texas Rising and the retelling of Roots; and National Geographic Channel’s movies based on Bill O’Reilly’s bestselling Killing series of books, including Killing Kennedy, Killing Lincoln and Killing Jesus. The O’Reilly Factor host, a former history teacher, is also the executive producer of Fox News’ Legends & Lies. Season 2, Legends & Lies: Patriots, which premiered…

Late Night With Seth Meyers Weeknights, 12:35am/11:35c, NBC @LateNightSeth IF LATE-NIGHT TV were high school, Seth Meyers would totally be voted Most Likely to Succeed. The brainy 42-year-old has spent the last two years injecting sharply observed political and social commentary into the comedy DNA of Late Night With Seth Meyers, earning critical raves and ratings along the way. (No Carpool Karaoke needed here: The talk show is the No. 1 program in its timeslot, in both total viewers and adults 18–49.) “Seth is an enormous success for us, not only in the ratings but as a comedy ambassador for this network,” praises Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment. Citing the former Saturday Night Live head writer’s “insightful” approach to dissecting world events and pop culture, Greenblatt goes on to…

Flower Shop Mystery: Dearly Depotted Sunday, June 26, 9/8c, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries @hallmarkmovie ANGELA LANSBURY’S JESSICA Fletcher didn’t look like the typical TV detective when she biked onto the scene in Murder, She Wrote. Thirty-two years later, in Dearly Depotted—the third in the ongoing film series based on Kate Collins’s Flower Shop Mystery books—Brooke Shields’s Abby Knight stands over a dead body in kitten heels. The small-town florist was serving as a bridesmaid at her spoiled cousin’s wedding when someone killed its crasher. Having already beaten the cops at solving two previous murder cases, Abby is poking her perfect nose into this one too. And poised to play the Nick to her Nora: handsome bar owner Marco (Brennan Elliott). He, in fact, is ready to do anything for her—if…

Pretty Little Liars SEASON PREMIERE Tuesday, June 21, 8/7c, Freeform Project #SaveHanna is underway as Season 7 of Pretty Little Liars kicks off in high Liars style. The action picks up moments after last spring’s finale, in which Miss Marin (Ashley Benson, left) was abducted. Exec producer Marlene King previews that Hanna’s ex, Caleb (Tyler Blackburn), “leads the charge to find out if she’s even alive” after falling prey to the mysterious baddie now known as A.D. “And I can’t guarantee that she’s rescued by episode’s end,” King says. What King does promise is “epic romance and reunions with the original couples.” That means Spencer (Troian Bellisario) could run back to Toby (Keegan Allen)—especially if she finds out that her current beau, Caleb, kissed Hanna—and more Ezra (Ian Harding) and…

Sunday, June 26– Thursday, June 30, 11/10c, Discovery Channel @SharkWeek JUST WHEN YOU thought it was safe to turn off Discovery’s Shark Week programming, directorproducer-actor Eli Roth returns to host Shark After Dark, a late-night look at all things great (white) and small in the world of these jawsome creatures. And for a guy who gave us the movies Hostel and The Green Inferno, he’s shockingly chummy. This is your second time hosting Shark After Dark. What did you learn last year? I learned that while the show should be fun, people really love the scientific aspect of it, and everyone watching is a shark advocate. How did a horror-movie guy become such a shark fan? Ever since I was a kid growing up in Massachusetts, I loved sharks and…

NASCAR Sprint Cup at Sonoma, California, Sunday, June 26, 3/2c, Fox Sports 1 @NASCAR KYLE BUSCH, NASCAR’S reigning Sprint Cup champ, returns this week to Sonoma Raceway, having enjoyed a year for the ages. He’d missed the first 11 races of 2015 when a terrible crash at Daytona International Speedway in February left him with a massive compound fracture in his right leg. Five races into his return, he won at Sonoma, and he then won three of the next four events on the way to his astonishing Cup title—the first time a driver has won a championship after missing that many races. But a year for the ages is apt for other reasons—the patience necessary in his grueling recovery, coupled with watching his wife, Samantha, give birth to their…

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) Saturday, 6/25, 8/7c, HBO Dylan O’Brien (second from left) trades in his Teen Wolf sidekick character, Stiles, to lead his own pack of survivors in a second film based on the Maze Runner book trilogy. Once again, the fate of a dystopian world rests on the shoulders of teens who have to save a planet ruined by their darn parents. Groundhog Day (1993) Monday, 6/20, 3:30am/2:30am c, SundanceTV It’s the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, the perfect time to rewatch Bill Murray relive his Very Long Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. If weatherman Phil can demonstrate true love, he might finally wake up to a new morning. The Sting (1973) Saturday, 6/25, 8/7c, TCM Robert Redford and Paul Newman’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid…

30 Years since Pierce Brosnan had a starring role in a TV series (Remington Steele). He was just cast as the lead in AMC’s 2017 drama The Son. 5 Median number of days it takes a Netflix user to binge-watch Season 1 of a series. 50 Pounds lost by UnReal’s Craig Bierko, giving his character, Chet, a sleek new look for Season 2. 435,000 Average number of tweets in the U.S. per Walking Dead episode during Season 6. $15 million Amount of medical debt John Oliver and the Last Week Tonight team forgave (for upward of 9,000 patients) on the June 5 episode with their own debtcollection company, resulting in the largest giveaway in TV history. 4:27.84 Time (in minutes) it took Jessie Graf to become the first woman to…

Mr. Robot (Season 1, Available now) Amazon Prime Get acquainted with the clinically paranoid, utterly captivating hacktivist Elliot (Rami Malek) and his mysterious mentor, Mr. Robot (Christian Slater, below right, with Malek), before the drama returns to USA on July 13. Life Story (Season 1, Monday, June 20) Netflix Famed British broadcaster David Attenborough and the BBC’s Natural History Unit explore in stunning high-def the challenges that animals overcome in order to make it to adulthood and continue their bloodlines. The result wavers between the cute (like meerkat pups emerging from their African burrows, above), the cool (hermit crabs “house swapping” after new shells wash up on their beach) and the heart-poundingly crazy (barnacle goslings learning to jump from a nest perched 400 feet above the earth). The Good Wife…

@damianholbrook LOVE IT! HATE IT! Cheers to Roots for its fine-feathered find. As showy cockfighting slave Chicken George in History’s remake, Zimbabwe-born newcomer Regé-Jean Page’s star-in-the-making performance rivaled Ben Vereen’s original turn in the iconic role. Cheers to Ellen Barkin for being the queen of Animal Kingdom. TNT’s gritty new drama may boast a manly menagerie of crime-family bros (including Ben Robson, Shawn Hatosy and Scott Speedman), but it’s Barkin as hot, hard-ass mama bear Smurf who reigns supreme. Cheers to The Real Housewives of New York City for restoring our faith in the franchise. Between Bethenny’s (right) rapid-fire one-liners, Dorinda’s martini-fueled meltdowns (she made it nice!) and Ramona’s wild-eyed Ramonaness, Season 8 has been manna from heaven for everyone who has ever loved these hellions. Cheers to UnReal for…

@TVGMMattRoush TV Guide Magazine @TVGuideMagazine @tvguidemagazine With each episode this season, Person of Interest is proving just how wrong CBS’s treatment of it has been. And can enough be said about Michael Emerson’s performance? He’s been great all along, but this year he’s been brilliant in showing the gradual impact that events have taken on his character, Finch. —Christine MATT ROUSH: Couldn’t agree more. For CBS to burn off as many as three episodes in a week during this final run is a show of disrespect for such a creative, risk-taking series. And with Finch embracing his dark side in a last attempt to save his beloved Machine from the evil Samaritan, Emerson is doing some of his best work since his glory days on Lost. But let’s be glad…

Weekdays, ABC @GeneralHospital GENERAL HOSPITAL WHAT THE HOLY hell is going on? Mere weeks ago, General Hospital’s Julian (William deVry) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) were the sexiest, most blissful couple in soaps, with a massive and deliriously happy fanbase known as the Julexis Army. But now we know that Julian did not give up his life in the mob—as he promised Alexis before their wedding— and he remains a cold-blooded killer. And the army is having a cow! Grahn weighs in on the matter. Your fans are in hyper-shock. Why would GH mess with a good thing? Alexis is in shock too! She’s been through the sleeping-with-the-enemy thing. Now she hates the motherf---er and is ready to kill him. No one is telling me where this is headed, so…
