@TVGMattRoush TV Guide Magazine @TVGuideMagazine @tvguidemagazine Why do you think ABC airs Celebrity Family Feud, which is loaded with sexoriented questions and crude double entendres, in the so-called family hour at 8/7c, while the G-rated $100,000 Pyramid follows at 9/8c? —Maurice MATT ROUSH: Kudos for remembering there once was such a thing as a family hour. Those days are long gone. And welcome to Programming 101. The reason ABC devotes summer Sundays to “Fun & Games” at all is because Feud was a hit a year ago. Using an established property to feed an audience to the game shows that follow has less to do with Feud’s content than with its high profile—and that of its host, Steve Harvey. So far, it seems to be working. Besides, the syndicated, and…

America’s Got Talent Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 8/7c, NBC The funniest person on TV is There are so many! I think Chelsea Handler is funny, and Maya & Marty [above], which comes on after AGT. What I hate-watch The Real Housewives of New York City The show I miss most Parks and Recreation. It was just so funny and inappropriate. My guilty pleasure Right now, my husband and I are watching Naked and Afraid [above], Extreme Weight Loss and Snapped. The show I’d like to guest star on The Big Bang Theory, because it’s so quirky. My dream costar Denzel Washington! He always plays the alpha male, the type I think every man should aspire to be. The last thing I watch before I go to bed I’ve been watching the…

Weekdays, CBS @boldinsider IF YOU’RE GOING to stage a royal mess, why not do it in Monaco? Several stars of The Bold and the Beautiful recently traveled to the European principality for the 56th annual Monte-Carlo Television Festival, where the CBS soap won the audience award as the most widely watched daily drama in the world. (We’re talking 35 million viewers in more than 100 countries.) But this was no mere red-carpet opportunity. B&B execs used the event to shoot three big plot twists, with footage of the festival doubling as the show’s Spencer Summit. Here’s what goes down: Fashion legend Eric Forrester (John McCook) shows up at the Summit to announce he’s returning to Forrester Creations as CEO. Lovelorn Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton, left), at the Summit to plug…

Last Chance U MINISERIES PREMIERE Friday, July 29, Netflix Mitt director Greg Whiteley shifts his revealing lens from politics to college football. His focus: the new recruits (including Isaiah Wright, above) of East Mississippi Community College, an undefeated team known for helping elite athletes who have been held back by academic or behavioral issues. The Strain Season 2, Friday, July 29, Hulu The horror series from Guillermo Del Toro and Carlton Cuse gets even freakier (and a hell of a lot cooler) with the addition of 2,000-year-old vampire-human hybrid, swordplay master and overall evil bastard Quinlan (Rupert Penry-Jones). Also new: a subrace of vamps called Feelers that the bloodsuckers created from blind children. No wonder Ephraim (Corey Stoll, above) and Co. change their focus from studying the infected to building a…

LOVE IT! Cheers to Suits for its new look. Who knew throwing Mike (Patrick J. Adams) into prison and stripping Pearson Specter Litt of its entire staff would give the six-year-old show such a dramatic—and delicious—makeover? We feel a little guilty for loving this shake-up so much! Cheers to Seth Meyers for getting to the crux of the Matter. The Late Night host has always been a hilarious voice of reason, but his July 11 “Closer Look” at Black Lives Matter was a serious piece of truth that rightfully put divisive politicians and media outlets on blast for using racial violence to raise their own profiles. Cheers to Difficult People for its delightful casting. As if Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner’s wickedly nasty New Yorkers weren’t already priceless nightmares, the…

Luke Cage’s Poster Revealed! It takes one legend to create another. Famed comic book artist and Marvel Entertainment chief creative officer Joe Quesada designed the key art for Luke Cage, a new Marvel superhero series streaming on Netflix September 30. (Fans can pick up a copy of the poster at the Marvel booth at San Diego Comic-Con July 20–24.) “There’s always great pressure with superhero posters,” Quesada says. “You’ve got one shot to encapsulate a character with a pose that’s provocative and that you hope will someday be iconic.” It helps to have actor Mike Colter (inset) playing Cage, a burly Harlem crime buster with indestructible skin who was first seen in Netflix’s Jessica Jones making hot love with the title character. “Mike gives Luke a smoldering strength,” Quesada says.…

Greenleaf Wednesdays, 10/9c, OWN GreenleafOWN THIS WE KNOW for sure: Oprah Winfrey is giving one hell of a performance on Greenleaf. The new megachurch melodrama—the highest-rated series launch in the five-year history of Winfrey’s cable channel OWN— finds the former chat-show maven playing Mavis McCready, a recovering alcoholic and owner of a Memphis blues bar who is at war with her own family. Mavis wants to take down her brother Mac (GregAlan Williams), a serial sex abuser using his prominent position at Cavalry Fellowship World Ministries to molest underage girls. But she’s up against two towering opponents: her socially prominent sister, Lady Mae (Lynn Whitfield), and Mae’s husband, the beloved Bishop James Greenleaf (Keith David), both of whom turn a blind eye to Mac’s sick proclivities. Expect fire and brimstone…

Monday–Thursday Midnight/11c, Comedy Central @midnight EVERY EPISODE OF Comedy Central’s @midnight With Chris Hardwick closes on the same shot: an audience with three members dressed as animals and five or so dozing off. It’s pretty much the only thing you can definitely expect from the always surprising latenight stand-up show hybrid emceed by Talking Dead host Hardwick. Well, that and the format: The series features a rotating panel of three comedians adlibbing riffs related to the day’s social-media gaffes and blunders, with Hardwick awarding points to the funniest retorts. Past players have ranged from relative upstarts (Kyle Kinane and Nikki Glaser) to near icons (Marc Maron and Whitney Cummings). And the jokes are usually too dirty to print in a family magazine. We talked to Hardwick about his daily grind.…

Drive (2011) Sunday, August 7, 11:30/10:30c, Sundance This unsettling crime thriller, which starred Ryan Gosling as a Hollywood stuntman moonlighting as a getawaycar driver, won Nicolas Winding Refn the directing prize at the Cannes Film Festival. The personal confrontations between the hero-crooks and the worse-crooks are as unbearably tense as the car chases, starting with the first (and best) as Gosling eludes the police in a maze of alleys and empty warehouse roads on the way to an L.A. Clippers game. Harry Potter Birthday Marathon (2001–11) Saturday, July 30, 7am/6c, Freeform J.K. Rowling’s seven-book-long battle between the Boy Who Lived and He Who Must Not Be Named (aka Harry Potter vs. Voldemort) began when the young wizard was “born as the seventh month dies” (or, July 31). Freeform starts a…

The two showstopping addresses will be President Obama and the historic nominee herself MY FIRST DEMOCRATIC convention was Atlantic City in 1964. I was working as a busboy at a nearby restaurant. Just 18 at the time, I wanted desperately to get inside and share the excitement of it all. So I stood outside a big-dollar fundraiser at the Shelburne Hotel asking if one of the wealthy donors would let me use their ticket. Finally, a very nice lady, who seemed pretty bored with it all, let me have hers. I got to shake hands with Adlai Stevenson, Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy and Henry “Scoop” Jackson. I’ll never forget it. I started attending Democratic conventions officially in 1972. I was a volunteer in the DNC press office. By 1980, I…

Thursday, July 28– Sunday, July 31 TNT and CBS @PGAcom WITH HIS WIN at the U.S. Open in June, Dustin Johnson (right) finally broke into the ranks of major golf tournament champions after a string of near-misses. He also cracked an even more elite club. “What Dustin’s done,” says CBS anchor Jim Nantz, “is he’s taken this concept that golf’s future was in the hands of the Big Three—that being Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy—and he’s expanded that watch list now to the Big Four.” Nantz says the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, sets up “magnificently” for Johnson to chalk up another major title. He compares him to Jack Nicklaus, who won two U.S. Opens at Baltusrol, and Phil Mickelson, who captured the…
