@TVGMMattRoush D’Arcy Carden not getting an Emmy nomination for supporting actress for the “Janet(s)” episode of The Good Place is an absolute crime. She not only played all of the characters in the series, but even one of the characters playing another character (makes the head spin). It’s just more evidence that the Television Academy isn’t paying attention. The episode was nominated for writing, but she deserved one too—and the statue.—Aaron MATT ROUSH: No argument here. She gave a virtuoso performance in that episode and is a delight in all of the others. But the supporting category is so crowded this year that eight nominees qualified (including Veep’s Anna Chlumsky and GLOW’s Betty Gilpin), suggesting very close voting. And I suspect you may be right that in the nomination process,…

Medical Mysteries Solved! WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE—or maybe you are someone—challenged with an undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or uncured illness. What if you could connect with others who have similar symptoms, as well as doctors who have treated similar cases? Journalist Ann Curry is making this a possibility as host of the new live series Chasing the Cure (premieres Thursday, August 8, 9/8c, TNT and TBS; there’s also a 24/7 digital platform, chasingthecurelive.com). “Technology, medicine, journalism and television storytelling are all in a disruptive period,” Curry says. “Never before has it been possible for strangers to communicate with each other, and help each other, [the way they can] today.” The series invites patients, as well as their family members, to the show’s unique circular set, where they will interact with Curry and…

Like Walter White, Noah Funk (Ryan Robbins, left, with onscreen brother Gord Rand) starts out as a mild-mannered family man—until he decides to take on the “Mennonite mob.” Forced to join in order to protect his loved ones, he decides to destroy the violent group from within, going to extremes himself.

COVER LOVE I’ve always had a crush on Stefanie Powers. I remember watching reruns of Hart to Hart when I was 10 years old and wishing I could go on exotic adventures like she and costar Robert Wagner did. When I saw that they would be on the next cover [July 22 issue], I was so excited. The interview with Powers and Wagner and the photos were fabulous. Thank you for the memories. —Jon LET’S CELEBRATE I am a top fan of Michael Landon, and you forgot two important anniversaries in your recent issue [July 22]: Bonanza’s 60th and Little House on the Prairie’s 45th! —Tami NEW LOOK I want to thank you very much for adding daytime TV listings [see page 25].

StarTrek: Picard—Make It So! The resounding roar heard at Comic-Con July 20 came from the ecstatic crowd who had just seen the trailer for CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Picard, starring Patrick Stewart (above) as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (1987–94’s Star Trek: The Next Generation and last seen in the 2002 movie Star Trek: Nemesis). “Nearly 20 years have passed for me as well as Jean-Luc, and they’ve been eventful, so there’s all that stuff to draw on and put into the show,” Stewart says. The drama, due in early 2020, finds the retired hero returning to Starfleet and assembling a new crew after meeting the mysterious and powerful Dahj (Isa Briones). The cast also includes franchise favorites like Lieutenant Commander Data (Brent Spiner), Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), Hugh/Third of…

@TVGMMattRoush The Terror: Infamy An ill wind of history blows through this chilling ghost story SEASON PREMIERE Monday, Aug. 12, 9/8c, AMC THE HORROR, THE horror. Seems an appropriate response to any account of one of the most shameful chapters from our not-so-distant past, when more than 100,000 Japanese Americans were displaced and sent to U.S. internment camps after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. The Terror: Infamy takes this tragedy a step further. In the second season of the provocative anthology series, which adds a creepy layer of supernatural shock to its re-creation of historical events, the dehumanizing indignities of racism and war-fueled hysteria are compounded by “an ill omen from across the sea.” That’s how Asako Nakayama (Naoko Mori), a fisherman’s wife in coastal California, describes it when…

Love Island SEASON FINALE 8/7c, CBS America’s vote decides the last couple standing (Katrina, above, was still a contender at press time).

THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES Queen of the Pythons DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE 8/7c, Smithsonian Channel God save us from the queen—that is, the deadly African rock python.

Now imagine you’re watching a game show in which hypnotist Keith Barry mesmerizes four strangers—one will act out the movie Ghost after hearing a song cue; another will think she’s on a roller coaster—who then…

Movie Pick Aquaman 8/7c, HBO Superheroes just want to have fun. Jason Momoa (above) lets his freak trident fly in this origin movie about the titular leader of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. It’s a lot more light-hearted and entertaining than the recent DC Comics outings featuring Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) as the dour duo heading up the Justice League. The 2017 Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) is still the best of the DC heroes’ movies—the League’s roundtable should be turned into a rectangle with Wonder Woman and Aquaman leading point at each end. The Zoo: San Diego SERIES PREMIERE 8/7c, Animal Planet Animal Planet’s docuseries The Zoo, set primarily in the Bronx, New York, has brought us many delights—first and foremost, the exuberant warthog Peaches. Expect similar…

THIS IS FOOTBALL NEW DOCUSERIES AVAILABLE NOW Just to clarify, This Is Football is about soccer, not that other football. (Sorry, NFL fans.) Even so, don’t let that deter you from checking out this wide-ranging collection of stories about the beautiful game and what it means to billions of people around the globe. Each of the six episodes explores football as it relates to the universal human experience. “Redemption” shows how the sport helped rebuild Rwanda after its brutal 1994 civil war. (As one person notes in the series, “You don’t refuse to pass the ball to someone because someone comes from a certain place. You are going to pass the ball because you want to win.”) “Belief” celebrates the pioneers of women’s football, including the victorious U.S. team from the…

@damianholbrook LOVE IT! Cheers to Veronica Mars for growing up so nicely. Hulu’s revival of the Kristen Bell–led dramedy is fresh yet familiar, and still fun as hell, thanks to the ageless appeal of her sassy Nancy Drew (right) and the writers’ creative use of her old(er) Neptune crew. Cheers to Conan O’Brien for flying without a net. Or guest. TBS’s late-night host (below) had to wing his entire July 11 episode when Silicon Valley’s Kumail Nanjiani pulled out of his scheduled appearance 30 minutes before air due to filming delays on the HBO comedy. So Coco did what he does best and improvised bits and skits to fill the time. Cheers to Fear the Walking Dead for going with the nuclear option. Radioactive zombies? Yes, please!
