@TVGMMattRoush I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the May 4 finale of All Rise that was set during the quarantine and had a virtual trial as well as the associated side interactions. It certainly was timely, and I thought it was handled very well. Plus, the dance party at the end was great. Your thoughts? —Sandy MATT ROUSH: I received quite a bit of positive feedback on this episode, and I can see why. At a time when I’m hearing from viewers seeking escape from the current gloom and doom, All Rise found a way to tackle the situation cleverly, ending on a celebratory note that reminds us of the power of connectivity during this period of isolation. NBC’s wonderful Parks and Recreation reunion and a special…

Space Force Newly Available, Netflix “SPACE IS HARD.” This is undoubtedly true. It’s even harder not to laugh when Steve Carell, as gung-ho general Mark Naird, haltingly utters this confession while defending his fledgling Space Force at a Saturday Night Live–worthy parody of a congressional budget hearing. Comedy isn’t easy, either, but Carell and fellow creator and executive producer Greg Daniels—both of The Office—mostly succeed in a spirited satire of military bravado clashing with political hubris during a 21st-century race to the moon. (This time, the Chinese are our cunning and confrontational rivals.) Space Force gets off to a strong start when the panicky Naird, reluctantly accepting the leadership role in this new branch of the armed forces, spars for respect with his combative fellow Joint Chiefs. Reaching for a…

Battlestar Galactica 8/7c, Comet Is 2005’s “Pegasus” one of the Syfy reboot’s best hours?

LENOX HILL SERIES PREMIERE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10 Healthcare workers are finally getting the recognition (and nightly applause) they deserve. But filmmakers Adi Barash and Ruthie Shatz were interested in spotlighting doctors before the global pandemic thrust them into the news. Their documenta ry series Lenox Hill follows two brain surgeons, an emergency room doc and an ob-gyn chief resident at the New York hospital named in the title. “We are always looking for powerful human stories,” Shatz says, “and there’s no doubt that the healthcare environment engulfs many dramatic, inspiring and sensitive moments.” With remarkable access to both the patients they treat every day and the doctors’ own personal lives, Lenox Hill is the real-life version of network medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy—with admittedly a lot less hooking up in the…

Lady Bird (2017) Greta Gerwig’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale stars Saoirse Ronan as a…

Antiques Roadshow 8/7c, PBS (check local listings at pbs.org) Appraisals given 14 years ago in Honolulu are updated.

THE PANDEMIC MAY have halted TV production, but that’s not stopping the networks from planning for the 2020-21 season. While premiere dates are still in flux, decisions have been made on which series will be back and which go to the cancellation graveyard. As always, many renewals—64 in total, as of press time—were a given, like CBS’s NCIS, ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and NBC’s Chicago franchise. Reality stalwarts such as Fox’s The Masked Singer, ABC’s American Idol and CBS’s Survivor will also return. Fox dramedy The Orville and NBC comedy A.P. Bio will continue—on streaming services (Hulu and Peacock, respectively). Some cancellations were also obvious; see the low-rated Almost Family on Fox and ABC’s Single Parents. But there are head-scratchers in the mix too. We’re looking at CBS, which axed God…

History of the Swimsuit 8/7c, TCM TCM makes a splash tonight celebrating iconic swimsuits of the big screen, so put on your SPF 50 (and your itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikini, if you’re so inclined) and dive in. First, in 1952’s Million Dollar Mermaid, Esther Williams stars—and wears a gold lamé one-piece—as Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman. At 10/9c, Sandra Dee and Cliff Robertson surf the waves in the 1959 rom-com Gidget, followed at 11:45/10:45c by musicmakers Bobby Vinton and Jackie DeShannon in 1964’s madcap Surf Party. And at 1am/midnight c, Dudley Moore rates Bo Derek’s braids and famous beach run (right) a perfect 10 in the 1979 hit. Look for more swimsuit flicks on June 17 and 24! LET’S GO BUST UP A DRUG DEAL! Bulletproof SEASON PREMIERE 9/8c,…

KNIVES OUT NEW MOVIE  FRIDAY, JUNE 12 Who killed Harlan Thrombey? The wealthy author (Christopher Plummer) is found dead the morning after his 85th birthday party, and it seems everyone in this clever, comedic mystery had a motive to slit his throat. He’d fired his son Walt (Michael Shannon), financially cut off his daughter-in-law Joni (Toni Collette) and threatened to expose his son-in-law (Don Johnson) for cheating on Harlan’s daughter (Jamie Lee Curtis, above forefront, with Katherine Langford, Collette, Johnson, Shannon, Riki Lindhome and Jaeden Martell). Those are just a few suspects. Enter private detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig, clearly having a ball hamming it up). An anonymous person has hired the flamboyant gumshoe, and he enlists the help of Harlan’s loyal nurse, Marta (Ana de Armas), to uncover the…

Snoozed on Season 1 of the…

Even in the ever-changing TV landscape, some things remain constant—especially when it comes to the most popular series. For the 2019–20 season, football again sacked the competition, CBS’s NCIS ruled in scripted dramas, and NBC’s The Voice hit a high note for reality competition series. Some new entries became favorites (hello, CBS’s FBI: Most Wanted), while a number of crowd-pleasers either got bigger or fell from grace. Remember, numbers don’t lie.…

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) Loving yourself is the most important thing you can do now.

LOVE IT! Cheers to 9-1-1 for not going off the rails with its train-crash episode. Even though Fox’s first-responder drama ended Season 3 with an epic, masterfully staged wreck, the hour balanced big thrills with emotional moments centered on a traumatized Athena (Angela Bassett, left) and the suddenly not-so-single Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt). Cheers to Single Parents for leaving us with a smile. It may have lasted only two seasons, but the now-axed ABC sitcom was whip-smart and the ensemble—led by a goofier-than-expected Leighton Meester and a lovable Taran Killam (right)—was a modern family of friends we’re sadly going to miss making playdates with. Cheers to How to Get Away With Murder for making Annalise pay. In the ABC drama’s series finale, karma visited the manipulative lawyer turned accused killer…
