PRODIGAL DAUGHTER? The February 2 episode of Fox’s Prodigal Son just finished, and the family has to protect Ainsley [Halston Sage]! This episode is the first one I remember getting serious goose bumps from. I’m loving this show! —Cindy HIGH POINT Blue Bloods’ “The New Normal” [February 5, where Danny faces pressure at work for not shooting a perp] was the best episode ever. It was something we all should watch during these trying times. —Barbara SPOKEN TRUTH Cheers to NBC’s This Is Us for the best father-son conversation I’ve seen on a TV drama in a long time [February 9 episode]. The message that the cycle of bad parenting can be broken is a powerful one. —Sharon BIG SQUEEZE A huge jeer to Discovery+ for kidnapping Dr. Pimple Popper!…

@damianholbrook LOVE IT! Cheers to Kenan for being worth the wait. Two years after NBC announced the show, the family comedy starring Kenan Thompson (left, with Dannah and Dani Lane) as a widowed dad is finally here. It’s so full of heart and infectious humor, we can forgive the holdup. Cheers to The Stand for rewriting a previous wrong. Thanks to a new ending penned by Stephen King himself, CBS All Access’ take on his epic end-of-days novel gave heroine Frannie (Odessa Young) the well-deserved showdown with baddie Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgård, right, with Young) she didn’t get in the book. Cheers to Disney+ for finally inviting Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella to the streaming ball. Nearly a quarter century after its 1997 Wonderful World of Disney debut, the lavish and beloved musical…

@TVGMMattRoush I don’t understand why people are infatuated with remakes and reboots. Case in point: The CW’s Walker. I loved the first episodes, but I never watched Walker, Texas Ranger with Chuck Norris, so I had no expectations. For people to dismiss the new show simply because it is not an extension of a show from long ago seems pointless. Have the creativity juices stopped flowing in TV land? And with the desire to chase younger viewers, why are the networks bringing back shows remembered only by the older demographic? —EC MATT ROUSH: My mailbag is divided between those who enjoy the new, more emotional Walker, played by Supernatural alum Jared Padalecki, and those who yearn for the action figure embodied by Norris. Mike wrote in to suggest that they…

@TVGMMattRoush Fridays, Apple TV+ JOHN LENNON LIVED. Prince Charles never married Di. And the space race pitting the U.S. against the Soviet Union extended well into the Reagan 1980s. In the what-if world of For All Mankind, a speculative and only occasionally exciting drama of exploration and conflict, most of the characters yearn to return to space. So do we. The series’ 10-year time jump in the second season results in former astronauts riding desks instead of rockets, and the plot creaks with agonizing sluggishness over 10 very long episodes to propel these men—and, admirably, women—back into action. Apple is wise to roll out the episodes weekly, because the deliberate pace doesn’t encourage a binge. But try not to scrub out as Mankind evolves into a NASA version of The…

That has never been more true than on tonight’s Station 19, the first half of a tension-filled crossover with Grey’s Anatomy, as DeLuca and his protective older sister, Carina (Stefania Spampinato), try to stop a child sex trafficker. DeLuca first suspected the woman, Opal (Stephanie Kurtzuba), of being up to no good last season when she posed as the aunt of a terrified teen he treated in the hospital’s clinic. But at the time he was in the throes of his then-undiagnosed bipolar disorder and his accusation was ignored. (The girl later escaped and filed a…
