@TVGMMattRoush America’s top TV critic Matt Roush answers your burning questions I’m very disappointed that NBC has canceled Timeless—again! do you think it’s possible they will green-light a two-hour wrap-up movie? I hope that NBC and Sony Pictures Television can work out the economics so there’s a silver lining to all of this and that NBC will #endTimelessRight! —Chris MATT ROUSH: The second season was already something of a miracle, revived after nBC initially canceled the series. underperforming in a new Sunday timeslot sealed its fate, but hope springs eternal, and there are reports that NBC and the Sony studio are negotiating for a TV-movie finale to wrap up the storyline. (If those talks fall through, maybe Sony could pony up and produce this for its Crackle streaming service.) It…

Caribbean Pirate Treasure Wednesdays, 10/9c, Travel Channel Finding fortune is all in the family for married maritime adventurers Philippe and Ashlan Cousteau (right), who carry on the tradition of three generations of undersea trailblazers that began with Philippe’s famous grandfather, Jacques Cousteau. “He pioneered underwater archeology,” Philippe says. “Searching for pirate treasure is part of his legacy.” This season on Caribbean Pirate Treasure, the duo explore Ecuador, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Florida and more, searching for wrecks and then analyzing the bounty. What’s the biggest misconception about pirates and their shipwrecks? Philippe: We don’t find intact 18th-century wooden ships with skeletons in the rigging. The Caribbean teredo worm eats wood, so only metal remains: silver, gold, cannons, anchors. Pirates weren’t gentlemen heroes like Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Most…

Colony 10/9c, USA “I’M INTERESTED IN who people are when everything is taken away, whether by zombies or aliens,” says Sarah Wayne Callies, referring to two of her favorite projects, AMC’s The Walking Dead and, now, USA’s Colony. That preference for “really extreme” stories has certainly been satisfied: The alien-occupation drama has stripped her character, Katie Bowman, and husband Will (Josh Holloway) of refuge, hope—and a son (Jacob Buster). Callies digs into the recovery process. Katie once helped lead the resistance against the alien Hosts. Now she works for the Seattle authorities. Why? Her goal is to build the safest life possible for her surviving kids [Isabella Crovetti and Alex Neustaedter]. Her story explores how during occupations historically, the majority of people don’t resist or collaborate. Is nonaction complicity? That’s…

Preacher 10/9c, AMC SCENE STEALER BETTY BUCKLEY SHE PLAYS Madame Marie L’Angelle, an evil Cajun sorceress and “Gran’ma” to Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) on the AMC horror series. After fleeing from her years ago, Jesse is back in her clutches because she agreed to resurrect his dead love Tulip (Ruth Negga). “My favorite characters have dark psyches, and she’s darker than the rest,” says Buckley. “Gran’ma’s invaded my dreams. She’s cruel and narcissistic.” WHERE YOU’VE SEEN HER As teacher Abby Bradford on the 1977–81 ABC dramedy Eight Is Enough. She switched to harder stuff as a former ’60s radical on HBO’s gritty prison drama Oz from 2001–03. “I came up with the idea of playing the birth mother of Dean Winters’s Ryan O’Reilly. We had the same punky hairdo!” she…

STAND-UP COMEDY EDITION! RYAN HAMILTON: HAPPY FACE Available on Netflix Idaho native Ryan Hamilton is an absolute delight to watch in his first-ever special. Part John Mulaney, part Brian Regan—and part potatoes, probably—he is the wholesome, hysterical friend I always wished I had. His sharp wit and self-deprecating charm pair perfectly with innocent topics like hot-air ballooning and snail mail. This is the type of stand-up performance you’ll go back to again and again—and trust me, I do. —Molly Baxter, Editorial Intern RICHARD PRYOR: LIVE IN CONCERT Available on Netflix The revolutionary Richard Pryor mined his personal demons to become the king of freewheeling, soul-baring stand-up, and every comic since has sought to reach the mark he hit with this entertaining 1979 special. A peerless mimic and creator of characters,…

Summer of Ramsay Order up! Doubling down on Gordon Ramsay’s reality competition series on Wednesday nights has been a recipe for success for Fox. Veteran MasterChef hit a season high (3.9 million total viewers) on June 13, leading in to the premiere of Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back (3.7 million). The pair stayed strong on June 20 (3.7 and 3.5 million, respectively)—no wonder 24 Hours has already been renewed for another round. Country Strong Paramount Network’s Kevin Costner drama Yellowstone roped in viewers with its June 20 launch, besting all other original scripted cable dramas for the week. That’s a far cry from the June 21 season premiere of USA’s Shooter, which failed to kick up much dust, with only 924,000 people tuning in. Here’s how the…

@TVGMMattRoush Unlike most flawed heroes, Amy Adams as Camille wears her scars on the outside Sharp Objects Gillian Flynn’s unsettling murder mystery gets under your skin Sundays, 9/8c, HBO BEFORE GONE GIRL, there was Camille, a girl gone over the edge, who is the very flawed heroine of Gillian Flynn’s first pageturner, Sharp Objects. An Absolut mess who swills vodka out of water bottles to numb a lifetime of repressed torment, Camille soon realizes some people probably shouldn’t go home again. Directed with unsettling moodiness by Jean-Marc Vallée (Big Little Lies) to reflect Camille’s extremes of emotional dislocation, HBO’s deluxe eight-part adaptation is perhaps a bit too languorous, not always justifying its length. Surely this bizarre story could have been told more tautly in fewer chapters. Thankfully, the casting is impeccable,…

American Ninja Warrior 9/8c, NBC For the most part, the elite athletes (athelites?) of American Ninja Warrior wow the crowd with their effortless agility. But some of the torture devices they tackle are straight-up messed up—even for the hosts on the sidelines. “Season 10 has continued to deliver with some of the hardest, most technical and physically challenging obstacles yet,” says Akbar Gbajabiamila. He and cohort Matt Iseman run down three of the toughest spots. 1 Spinning Bridge Qualifiers must conquer this Stage 1 staple by crossing four giant red balls that hang by chains and whirl under their feet. It’s a beast that has mentally messed with many a hopeful, says Iseman. “Even the best Ninjas fear balance obstacles, because one misstep and your season is over.” 2 Nail…

The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale Netflix JOEL MCHALE IS embracing the binge! Unlike his snarky clip show’s first 13-week run in early 2018, all six new episodes will drop on Netflix today. The Community star and former host of E!’s The Soup explains that this approach allows him to “do a whole run of stories” on mockable moments in pop culture, celebrity gossip and reality TV. McHale stepped away from the green screen to fill us in. As titles go, The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale is pretty straightforward. Was this all about your ego? I did it as a security device, because if they replace me with another host, it’s going to be very awkward. It’s gonna be The Joel McHale Show With Caroline Rhea. So…

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE’s CAT DEELEY MY CURRENT FAVORITE SHOW The Crown. It’s a little piece of home in California. Claire Foy (below) is a national treasure, and the cast is extraordinary. THE FUNNIEST PERSON ON TV Tiffany Haddish (The Last O.G.). That is one brilliant, sidesplittingly funny lady—in any medium. THE SHOW I MISS MOST Sex and the City. Those four women were an integral part of my youth. THE FIRST THING I WATCH WHEN I WAKE UP Our boy Milo [age 2] always gets into bed with us in the morning and the first thing he asks to see are rocket launches. We’ve seen them all: Saturn V, Falcon 9, Delta II (above) and all of the Apollos! MY DREAM COSTAR Tom Selleck. I’ve had a…

The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants SERIES PREMIERE Friday, July 13 Following last year’s hit Captain Underpants movie, Dream-Works presents a full season of animated adventures.

Last Chance U: Indy: Part 1 SEASON PREMIERE Season…

TKO: Total Knock Out SERIES PREMIERE Wednesday, July 11, 8/7c, CBS You might not think a new summer game show called TKO: Total Knock Out—where contestants run a goofy, fun house–like obstacle course while being pummeled with silly-looking foam projectiles by their opponents—embodies the power of positivity. But with comedy superstar/actor Kevin Hart running point as host, it sure does. “TKO is about real people wanting to get the best out of themselves,” says Hart, the star of box-office hits including Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and the Ride Along franchise, and whose comedy show, The Irresponsible Tour, is selling out venues worldwide. “It’s amazing energy,” he adds. “I feed off that. I love inspiration and motivation. I want to set up an obstacle course in my backyard now!” We…

Suits SEASON PREMIERE Wednesday, July 18, 9/8c, USA SUITS HAS UNDERGONE some considerable alterations for Season 8. With original cast members Patrick J. Adams and new royal bride Meghan Markle gone (their newlywed characters left New York for Seattle in the Season 7 finale), the stylish legal drama welcomes Grey’s Anatomy alum Katherine Heigl as ballsy, abrasive partner Samantha Wheeler, who butts heads with Specter Litt’s finest, including star litigator Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). “She tells everybody a different story about her past, so you don’t know what the truth is,” explains Heigl. “I love that she’s an enigma. No one can figure her out.” Speaking with TV GUIDE MAGAZINE on the Toronto set, the Emmy-winning actress debriefs us a bit more. I hear you were a Suits superfan before…

PICK OF THE WEEK! Six Wednesday, July 18, 10/9c, History Since joining the second season of History’s riveting Navy SEALs drama Six, Olivia Munn has been a powerhouse presence as Gina Cline, a steely CIA operative hell-bent on breaking captive terrorist Michael Nasry (Dominic Adams) by any means necessary. While Cline’s goal may be to get intel on Nasry’s mentor—the man who killed her beau—Munn’s aim is to show a fully fleshed-out woman calling the shots in the male-heavy military world. TV GUIDE MAGAZINE enlisted Munn to tell us about her complex role. You’ve had such a varied career: sports reporting, Daily Show correspondent, sitcoms, superhero movies and now drama. How do you choose what to do? A lot of it has to do with knowing how to say no…

MOVIE PICKS Eye in the Sky 8/7c, Starz Smart and compelling, Eye in the Sky has a riveting plot that moves with the speed of a bullet train. Or perhaps drone would make a better analogy. This 2016 drama—the late Alan Rickman’s last live-action film—debates the morality of those unmanned killing machines and the collateral damage they can cause. Helping drive home the message about reliance on technology in modern warfare are amazing performances from Helen Mirren (right) as a British Army colonel and Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul as the Las Vegas–based drone pilot who executes the kill orders. They have a chance to take out a building where a terror group is meeting, but an innocent girl is standing across the street. As officials calculate the odds of her…

@damianholbrook LOVE IT! Cheers to Yellowstone for being an epic summer trip. Between the sweeping views and really rocky family relationships, the addictive drama led by Kevin Costner (right) has the jawdropping look of a National Geographic special and the backstabbing soul of a soap. Cheers to The Hollow for being full of surprises. Netflix’s animated adventure about three teen amnesiacs who wake up with special abilities instantly drew us in with crafty mythology and smartly written characters who wind up being way more relatable than some of their live-action TV counterparts. Cheers to Supergirl for making Winn a hero in his own right. Jeremy Jordan’s nerdy DEO tech was always the Winn beneath bestie Kara’s wings (sorry), but when the actor (right, with Melissa Benoist) opted to exit at the end of…
