Home Economics 9:30/8:30c, ABC This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful that Happy Endings alum Casey Wilson (below) is bringing back @HappyHarmony99, revealed in the comedy’s Halloween episode to be both an oddly enthusiastic fan of novelist Tom (Topher Grace) and the Hayworth siblings’ half sister. Wilson hints that the return of this “sociopath with a heart of gold” makes for a not-so-harmonious turkey-day celebration. Especially since it’s the first time she meets her bio dad, Marshall (Phil Reeves, who also played Wilson’s pop on Black Monday), and the wife he cheated on, Muriel (Nora Dunn). At first, the siblings are concerned that Harmony won’t fit in at the dinner table. But then, “they come to realize that [she’s] a bit like each of them,” Wilson says. In addition, Marshall and Muriel appear…

America’s favorite dysfunctional dynasty returns bigger and more powerful than ever in Yellowstone’s fifth season. The next phase of the Duttons’ all-out war to keep their massive ranch opens with a twohour premiere—and a several-month time jump. Patriarch John (Kevin Costner) has won the race for Montana governor and is flexing like a king with a royal court: His audacious, loyal daughter Beth (Kelly Reilly) is his new chief of staff, and his less devoted, more tortured adopted son Jamie (Wes Bentley) is attorney general. “John’s trying to blow it all up,” Bentley says of how government functions in Big Sky Country. He’s determined to use his authority to stop any development progress. “That becomes a clash of…

The Crown WEDNESDAY, NOV. 9 ORIGINAL DRAMA The passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September may shift the way we view Netflix’s most regal hit, but expect the drama of Season 5 to be just as addictive. And since a changing of the cast occurs every two seasons, new faces now portray the House of Windsor during this turbulent 1991–97 period, with Imelda Staunton taking over as the stoic royal. Here’s what you’ll see in three key relationships. —Jim Halterman THE QUEEN AND PRINCE PHILIP As Elizabeth celebrates the 40th anniversary of her accession, scrutiny only increases. “People were more intrusive into their lives,” says Staunton. As to her husband, costar Jonathan Pryce says Philip is still “a man locked in a restrictive situation. What must he be thinking?” CHARLES…

PICK OF THE WEEK! So Help Me Todd Thursday, Nov. 10, 9/8c, CBS THANKSGIVING IS A time for families to put aside their differences—even the Wrights. Since the freshman dramedy’s September premiere, we’ve known perfectionist law partner Margaret Wright (Marcia Gay Harden) has three children: black sheep Todd (Skylar Astin), who now works as an investigator at her Portland, Oregon, firm (this week’s case involves a teller injured during a bank robbery); people-pleasing middle child Allison (Madeline Wise), an ER doctor whose garage Todd currently lives in; and Lawrence, who has missed every one of the family dinners that Todd has only recently been reinstated to, presumably because of a demanding job as chief of staff to the state’s governor. But this week, we finally meet the absentee sibling. As…

Tonight, they visit LaPlace, Louisiana, where the double whammy of Hurricanes Zeta and Ida forced single mom Destiny Sellars and her two young sons to live in a FEMA camper.

Watching Crews and Drew jackhammer together while shirtless was “most entertaining,” says Jonathan, who also admits that…

Editors’ Choice Pickled 9/8c, CBS This charity special is kind of a big dill. Sixteen celebrities, including Will Ferrell and Emma Watson, join forces for a tournament of pickleball—the fast-growing sport played with paddles on a small tennis court—to benefit Comic Relief US. Hosted by late night’s Stephen Colbert (above), the two-hour Funny or Die production was filmed in September at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. “We laid down the Thunderdome of pickleball and made the biggest deal of the smallest sport we could find,” says exec producer K.P. Anderson. Colbert sings the national anthem with Kenny Loggins (they rehearsed harmonies at a cantina the night before), then eight teams of two battle it out for the Colbert Cup. Viewers can donate at comicrelief.org/pickled. Anderson prefers not to…

The Santa Clauses SERIES PREMIERE Wednesday, Nov. 16, Disney+ WHAT DOES IT take to be Santa in the modern era, with Christmas spirit in low supply and Amazon Prime magically dropping off presents within 24 hours? That’s the question driving Disney+’s new six-episode series, which revisits the world of the Santa Clause feature films. (Two installments debut November 16, followed by weekly drops.) When we return to the North Pole, the ever-jolly sugar-guzzling Santa/Scott Calvin (Tim Allen, taking on the memorable role he last played in 2006) is questioning his nearly 30-year run delivering gifts to the children of the world—and he’s interviewing replacements. One of the not-so-impressive auditions comes from former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, who cameos as himself. While the football star brought plenty of magic to his…

Grey’s Anatomy 9/8c, ABC For Benson “Blue” Kwan, the Grey Sloan surgical residency program is a “life-and-death game,” says Harry Shum Jr. (above). “In his eyes, the other interns can destroy his chances of moving ahead.” Until a tragic setback—to be revealed tonight—Blue led a charmed life, marked by the blue ribbons he won in academics and athletics (hence the nickname). Since then, notes the Glee alum, “he’s put all relationships to the side and would do whatever it takes to climb back to the top.” Like his earlier lying to ensure getting into a big surgery “so he could be at least looked at as a No. 1.” A decade older than his rivals, Blue demonstrates superb skills when a lightning storm fills the trauma center with burn patients.…

Rogue Heroes SERIES PREMIERE 9/8c, Epix On November 16, 1941, the Special Air Service—an ill-equipped fledgling unit of British soldiers—prepared to parachute into the Libyan desert, behind enemy lines. Sandstorm blizzard conditions made the covert op not just ill-advised but suicidal. As covered in an early hour of this WWII drama, a pilot assigned to deliver the troops to their target spot reminds the undisciplined but determined SAS commanders, “The wind is 30 knots—15 knots is considered unsafe.” With crazed bravado, Paddy Mayne (Jack O’Connell) shouts back, “War! Is! F---ing unsafe!” Planes set to go, SAS leader David Stirling (Connor Swindells) walks off with Mayne and tactician Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen, above left, with Theo Barklem-Biggs), saying of the confrontation, “I think it went rather well!” “When I discovered the…

When a female hiker falls and suffers broken bones, the Cal Fire crew attempts a difficult mountainside rescue. Complicating it further: Mother Nature and the fact that the guys making the climb are Battalion 1608 engineer Jake (Jordan Calloway) and inmate firefighter Bode (Max Thieriot), who have serious history. Eve (Jules Latimer, above, with Thierot and Calloway) is there “to delegate and make sure we don’t go after each other’s head,” says Calloway. The men still haven’t forgiven each other for the night Bode’s sister died years ago. Jake broke her heart, and as Bode drove her home from Jake’s house, he lost control of the car. Now Bode, who spiraled…

A Boy Named Charlie Brown 8/7c, MeTV Retro Pick Can you spell g-o-o-d g-r-i-e-f? It’ll be easy after watching tonight’s airing of the first-ever Peanuts feature film, which includes classic songs like “I Before E” to help you. In the musical comedy from 1969, Charlie Brown joins his school’s spelling bee and ultimately learns that trying your best is the real definition of success. That lesson helps him recover from the embarrassment of—spoiler alert!—misspelling beagle. Ugh! To what do we owe this cinematic treat, which is especially timely since the holiday favorite A Charlie Brown Christmas won’t be airing on broadcast television this year (it’s streaming on Apple TV+)? Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz would have turned 100 on November 26, and in honor of the legend, MeTV is gifting…
