@TVGMMattRoush With Emmy favorite Veep out of the race this year, do you think there’s hope that Netflix’s One Day at a Time will finally get some recognition? If not in the comedy series category, then at least for the stellar performances of Justina Machado and Rita Moreno. I loved Season 1, but Season 2—particularly the season finale—knocked my socks off! —Jack MATT ROUSH: I’d love for One Day and its stars to break through. I’d even put odds on the wonderful Moreno adding a supporting actress Emmy to her EGOT shelf. Anything’s possible, but it’s still a crowded field, and the Veep void could be filled by another HBO comedy (Barry? Insecure?) or Netflix’s own GLOW. I wanted to compliment the writers of FX’s The Americans for the perfect…

Take Two 10/9c, ABC MOONLIGHTING FANS, IT may have taken nearly 30 years, but your prayers have been answered. The heir apparent to that 1985–89 hit has arrived in the form of Take Two, another dramedy about two polar-opposite crime solvers with a major case of the hots for each other. Rachel Bilson (The O.C., Hart of Dixie) stars as Sam Swift, a sunny TV star fresh out of rehab who starts shadowing gumshoe Eddie Valetik (Eddie Cibrian) to research a potential comeback role. On last week’s premiere, the duo discovered—much to their mutual surprise—they make a bang-up team. Here, Bilson unleashes her inner sleuth. Sam’s acting skills really serve her well as an investigator. Does it make you think, “Hey, I could do this?” I feel like I am…

Animal Kingdom 9/8c, TNT The family that defends its turf together stays together. With matriarch Smurf (Ellen Barkin) still behind bars for a murder she didn’t commit, the Cody crime clan has been without their fearless leader, leaving their Southern California territory vulnerable to other nefarious groups. That ends this week as the Cody boys—unstable Pope (Shawn Hatosy), duplicitous J (Finn Cole), druggie Craig (Ben Robson) and earnest Deran (Jake Weary, above)—reunite to fend off a Brazilian gang that wants to snatch away the Codys’ stronghold on the neighborhood. “This is the chance for them to be like, ‘Someone’s coming into our territory and thinking they can call the shots? No, no, no, that’s not how this works,’ ” says Weary. “This is Cody-land. You come here and disrespect people,…

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Thanks so much for spotlighting my favorite food series, The Great British Baking Show [June 11, page 57, “What’s Worth Watching”]. Always so charming, always so delicious…and that’s just judge Paul Hollywood. The amazing culinary creations also make me drool! —Sharon STREAM ON Thanks for all of the streaming info. Please add more. I am a longtime subscriber and mostly watch streaming. I love to binge-watch TV and find my cable provider restricts how many shows are available, so I don’t use it anymore. Keep up the great work. —Becky FALL FAIL I, for one, will not be watching the new Magnum P.I. When I first heard about it, I was hoping it would involve the now-grown daughter. I am looking forward to the reboot of Murphy…

1956–2018 ANTHONY BOURDAIN WAS more than a media personality; he was a moveable feast. When it was announced June 8 that the 61-year-old had committed suicide (he was found in a hotel room in France, where he was filming an episode of his CNN travelogue Parts Unknown), it felt as though we’d lost our coolest, smartest, funniest friend. Bourdain’s work—starting in 2000 with his memoir Kitchen Confidential, which details his wild antics as a young chef in New York City, and then on multiple series that documented him eating and drinking across various cultures—was a way into his mind, providing access to his unique voice and voracious appetite. In 2011, Bourdain sat down to dinner with TV GUIDE MAGAZINE. In person, he was gentler and more restrained than expected and…

Return to Jersey This year’s Will & Grace revival proved viewers are hungry for past hits. So MTV execs were on board to reboot their 2009–12 reality phenom Jersey Shore with the Miami-based Jersey Shore: Family Vacation (featuring Deena, Snooki and Jenni, above). While the show opened strong in April with 2.4 million viewers, the numbers have dropped. The June 7 episode brought in 1.7 million fans—a far cry from the original’s high of nearly 9 million in January 2011. That said, a Vegas-set Season 2 is already in the works. Reality Bites Reality shows are a staple of summer TV. But while some (The Bachelorette) are on par with last year’s audience, others, like the Jennifer Lopez–led World of Dance (above), have cooled. (Average total viewers for two 2018…

LOOKING FOR A family-friendly destination this summer? Well, it’s a good thing Wind Gap, Missouri, is fictional, because you’d be hard-pressed to find any place less suitable. The small town at the center of HBO’s Sharp Objects—an eight-part limited series based on the bestselling novel by Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl) and brought to steamy Southern Gothic life by director Jean-Marc Vallée (Big Little Lies)—is a dilapidated hamlet propped up by sinister secrets, where every household merits a needlepoint pillow that reads “Home is where the heartache is.” So it makes perfect sense that when we first encounter Wind Gap native Camille Preaker (five-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams), she’s long since established a life for herself elsewhere, working as a newspaper reporter in her adopted city of St. Louis. Two disturbing…

Younger 10/9c, TV Land Brainy, bubbly, sometimes blundering Liza (Sutton Foster), the fortysomething posing as a millennial to keep her publishing job, hits a party and chats up Don Ridley—played tonight and next week on the TV Land comedy by Foster’s ex-husband, Christian Borle (above, with Foster). “Don is a struggling freelance writer. They have a spark,” she says, adding, “It was really fun to work with Christian again.” (She and the Smash alum costarred in Broadway’s Thoroughly Modern Millie in 2003 and ’04 and in Netflix’s Gilmore Girls revival.) We do know Liza confides in him. Her true age, perhaps? 48 Hours: NCIS SEASON FINALE 10/9c, CBS A missing Army nurse and a military serial killer are tonight’s focus on the investigative series about real-life NCIS cases. Rocky Carroll…

Quantico 8/7c, ABC Two not-so-surprising but always interesting things happen on the thriller tonight: Blackops agent Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra, left) goes undercover, and her life is in danger. This time, she’s after an American military contractor (C.J. Wilson) who may be collaborating with an enemy on the sly. Masters of Illusion SEASON PREMIERE 8/7c, The CW Pulling rabbits out of hats? Please! Tonight, be awestruck by world record–holding card thrower Rick Smith Jr., comedy magician Ed Alonzo and iPad illusionist Keelan Leyser. MOVIE PICK My Friend Dahmer 8:10/7:10c, Cinemax John Backderf’s 2012 graphic novel, about his high school years with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer (Ross Lynch), inspired this grim, gripping 2017 movie. The creeps get creepier as the teen Dahmer graduates from a mere oddball, faking spasms in class…

A Capitol Fourth Wednesday, July 4, 8/7c, PBS (check local listings at pbs.org) PICK OF THE WEEK! This Independence Day, Uncle Jesse pays tribute to Uncle Sam. For the second year, Full House favorite John Stamos hosts A Capitol Fourth in Washington, D.C. The live celebration of America’s birthday features a salute to the troops, a fireworks show and a concert with performances by Jimmy Buffett and Stamos’s longtime pals, the Beach Boys. Noting the location, the occasion and the talent, Stamos quips, “You couldn’t get more American if you shot apple pies out of a T-shirt gun!” The newly married dad fills us in on the festivities. You’ve said you look at this as a unifying event. Is that why you’re back? Any gathering of people honoring America and…

SUMMER THROWBACK EDITION SIX FEET UNDER Stream on HBO Go and Amazon Prime Video Who could predict that a drama about death and grief, set inside a family-owned funeral home, would become one of the most-talked-about shows of the usually lighthearted summer season? But the achingly funny, blackly comic travails of the flawed Fisher clan captured our hearts and imaginations, starting in June 2001. The Alan Ball–created HBO series helped spur the second Golden Age of Television and delivered one of the most iconic series finales ever, with viewers getting to see the characters’ fates as their lives played out in an epic, heart-wrenching montage. —Christopher Wallenberg, Researcher MONK Stream on Amazon Prime Video The mysteries were wonderfully odd, but what endeared me to Monk when it premiered on USA…

LATE NIGHT SNACK’s RACHEL DRATCH THE LAST SHOW I BINGED The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (below). MY FAVORITE SHOW RIGHT NOW I love Netflix’s Queer Eye so much because of its positive vibes and how they improve lives. Jonathan Van Ness is giving me LIFE, girrrl. Did I say that right? I WILL WATCH ANYTHING WITH Steve Martin and Martin Short (below). They are each comedy idols of mine. I just look at them and laugh. MY GUILTY-PLEASURE SHOW The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I probably like it because their lives are so different from mine. Although maybe I should invest in a statement necklace. MY DREAM COSTAR Judi Dench. Maybe some comic version of a Downton Abbey–type show where I could play a scullery maid! THE SHOW I WANT…

THIS SUMMER, BLUE Bloods addicts don’t have to wait for repeats to air in their familiar Friday-night slot on CBS. If you’re aching to rewatch a favorite episode—like the engagement of partners Jamie and Eddie (Will Estes and Vanessa Ray, right)—CBS All Access is streaming all 177 episodes of the drama. In fact, the outlet offers 10,000-plus episodes of shows from the CBS library, as well as All Access originals like The Good Fight and Star Trek: Discovery. What’s new? The drama Strange Angel, which launched June 14, continues with new episodes each Thursday. In this truth-based tale, Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction) plays a 1930s L.A. janitor who dreams of building rockets to the moon but gets pulled into the sex-fueled occult religion created by the infamous Aleister Crowley.…

Big Brother SEASON PREMIERE Wednesday, June 27, 8/7c, CBS ONE OF SUMMER’S guiltiest pleasures, Big Brother returns for its landmark 20th season of expecting the unexpected. Let’s look back at some of the highs—and lows—of the strangers-locked- in-a-house reality hit. BEST BROMANCE In Season 2, Dr. Will Kirby (right) and Mike “Boogie” Malin set a standard for partnership—and humor. “On a show like this, comedy isn’t usually in the forefront,” executive producer Allison Grodner says, but the infamous “Chilltown” alliance “created great moments and set a tone that has continued ever since.” Kirby won that season and Malin took the All-Stars edition five years later. SMARTEST STRATEGIST Kirby and Derrick Levasseur, who triumphed in Season 16 without ever being nominated for eviction, were savvy, but Dan Gheesling, the Season 10…

5 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT… MAX IRONS Condor 10/9c, Audience Network You can hardly fault Joe Turner, the idealistic CIA analyst played by Max Irons on the new spy thriller Condor, for showing signs of wear and tear. After all, the poor guy inadvertently uncovered a vast government conspiracy, setting off a lethal chain reaction that’s forced him to go on the lam ever since. So what is Irons’s secret to looking suitably stressed? “Worried and anxious is my default mode,” jokes the U.K. native. “They just have to roll the camera.” Behold, a handful of other essential tidbits. 1 He’ll drink to that. Before his career took off (his big break was the 2011 flick Red Riding Hood), Irons tended bar in London while attending grad school for drama.…

JUNE IS THE month of radiant brides and picture-perfect ceremonies, but after 29 days of hearts and flowers, perhaps you’re ready for a change. So kiss the month goodbye with some TV nuptials that did not go as planned (to put it mildly). As the saying goes, something old, something new, something borrowed—somebody blue. I DREAM OF JEANNIE “The Wedding,” Season 5, Episode 15 (Amazon Video) At long last, Jeannie (Barbara Eden) and her favorite astronaut/master, Major Anthony Nelson (Larry Hagman), are walking down the aisle. But wait: Genies can’t be photographed, which will surely blow her magical cover. Elope? Nope. Jeannie just blinks up an automaton to pose as her on the big day. The folks at NASA buy it. DYNASTY “Royal Wedding,” Season 5, Episode 29 (Amazon Prime…

TODAY’S SPORTS PICK TENNIS 7am/6c, ESPN Wimbledon, early rounds Rise and grind! The oldest tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon, begins its early round matches on the green courts of London’s All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. (The entire Grand Slam event runs through July 15.) Swiss powerhouse Roger Federer (above) attempts to extend his career record to a ninth gentlemen’s singles title. Over on the ladies’ side, Spain’s Garbiñe Muguruza is the defending champion, and Serena Williams looks to rebound after a pectoral injury forced her to withdraw in June from the French Open. The Rape of Recy Taylor DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE 9/8c, Starz In 1944, Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old African-American woman, was walking home from her Alabama church when six white men attacked her. None were indicted. But…

Nashville 9/8c, CMT ON THE SIXTH and final season of Nashville’s operatic—or would that be Opryatic?—drama, formerly closeted gay country musician Will Lexington (Chris Carmack, right) nearly died of heart failure, brought on by steroid abuse, during a performance with his band. The hunky guitarist is in the midst of a grueling recovery, but this week, things get bumpier. Carmack gives us Will’s prognosis. How’s Will shaping up? He’s got doctor’s orders to sit on the sidelines. He’s derailed the band’s progress and let his friends down big time. He’s physically damaged, grappling with mortality but focused on healing. Now that Alannah (Rainee Blake) has quit the band, any chance he’ll regroup with Gunnar (Sam Palladio) and Avery (Jonathan Jackson)? I won’t say when, but you will see us perform.…

The Incredible Dr. Pol SEASON PREMIERE 9/8c, Nat Geo Wild EDITORS’ CHOICE VETERINARIAN JAN POL is just as adorable as the animals he heals, so it’s no wonder his reality show has stuck around for 13 seasons. Tonight, the Dutchborn doctor (below, with a young goat) returns with his trademark enthusiasm and wonder—“Holy cow!” is an oft-used phrase—to treat more critters at his Michigan clinic. The 76-year-old NASCAR nut and doting family man (he and wife Diane, parents to three adopted children, celebrated their 50th anniversary last August) lets loose. Any tricky patients this season? A lady came in with a macaw that needed a beak trim. If they’re in captivity, macaws cannot bite the hard logs they do in nature to trim the beaks themselves. He was not that…

@damianholbrook LOVE IT! HATE IT! Cheers to Pose for being a ball. FX’s groundbreaking soap about the vibrant denizens of ’80s Manhattan (like breakout Mj Rodriguez, near left, with Indya Moore and Ryan Jamaal Swain) is a subversive fashionista dream draped around so-relevant social commentary about the LGBTQ community’s refusal to walk away from any challenge to their basic human rights. Cheers to Apple for giving us a reason to iTune in. The tech giant’s meh streaming service has scored a sure-to-be hit by teaming with producer J.J. Abrams for Little Voices, a musical series featuring new tunes from fellow exec producer and Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles (left). This almost makes up for all those glitchy phone upgrades. Cheers to Queer Eye for coming back in a blink. Netflix must have known…
