PLAY ON! Kudos to Ray Romano, Joel Kim Booster and Melissa Rauch for making the November 6 Celebrity Jeopardy! all about the game and not about themselves. It was refreshing to see. —Jeanni DAILY LOVE I was holding out hope that Alaska Daily would be a fresh, well-done drama, and it did not disappoint. It’s an original premise (hooray, no doctors, police or lawyers) with a good cast and mostly good writing. Now if only ABC will give it a chance to establish a viewership and not dump it too soon, which seems to be a common broadcast malady. —Beth How wonderful it is to see Jeff Perry on TV again in Alaska Daily. In fact, the whole cast is amazing! Hilary Swank is quite sassy and smart and so dedicated…

@TVGMMattRoush I’m a fan of ABC’s The Rookie: Feds and Niecy Nash-Betts. But why does she have to wear those revealing tops? Her wisecracking humor is a draw, but the only time she is presentable is when she’s wearing the bulletproof vest. I’m no prude, but shouldn’t they try to represent the profession they’re portraying? —Michele MATT ROUSH: This is by far the most popular topic in my mailbag these days. And while many of the comments come too close to bodyshaming for my taste, the issue here is that her wardrobe is for many an unwelcome and unrealistic distraction. Still, you don’t hire Niecy Nash-Betts for subtlety, and if you’re seeking a more buttoned-down attitude, there are three other FBI series on Tuesdays on CBS. Major Spoiler Alert: I…

Young Rock 8:30/7:30c, NBC Dwayne Johnson’s semiautobiographical comedy gives fans the bonding father-son moment they’ve been waiting for in this emotional half hour, inspired by a real night teenage Dewey (Bradley Constant) and his dad Rocky (Joseph Lee Anderson, above) spent locked inside a Chi-Chi’s in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In 1988, as Rocky’s once-splashy wrestling career is flopping, he’s offered a job—that ends up being to clean the restaurant. The showman, prone to stretching the truth, finally gets real with his son and opens up about his past. “Dewey faces that universal experience of realizing your parents aren’t superheroes—they’re real human beings with their own hopes and dreams and flaws and disappointments,” says exec producer Jeff Chiang. EP Nahnatchka Khan adds the night’s outcome is “miraculous.” Blue Bloods 10/9c, CBS Frank’s…

@TVGMMattRoush The Crown Available now, Netflix WE NOW KNOW how (and when) her story ends. This doesn’t render the telling any less compelling, as The Crown enters Queen Elizabeth II’s twilight years with sensitivity and empathy, humanizing these public figures during one of their most challenging times. A 1991 newspaper poll suggests the monarch has “Queen Victoria Syndrome” and is out of touch with a modern world. Her restless son and heir, Prince Charles, agrees, even as his popularity plummets amid the scandalous dissolution of his marriage to the beloved but damaged Princess Diana. Creator and writer Peter Morgan distracts us from his sometimes loosely fact-based drama with history, echoing Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and the 1917 massacre of the Romanovs (the Czar was first cousin to Elizabeth’s grandfather,…

Star of the Month: Ava Gardner 8/7c, TCM Movie Picks One of Hollywood’s most gorgeous sirens, Gardner gets the star treatment in December (she’d have turned 100 this month), beginning with her breakout role as femme fatale Kitty Collins in the 1946 noir classic The Killers (right).

@damianholbrook Cheers to Grey’s Anatomy alums scrubbing back in on ABC’s hospital drama. Guest visits from the likes of Jesse Williams and Greg Germann ease the pain of star Ellen Pompeo’s reduced role in Season 19. Cheers to The White Lotus for booking Meghann Fahy (left, with Theo James). After five seasons of shining on Freeform’s underappreciated soap The Bold Type, it’s gratifying to see the dynamic Fahy finally enjoying her moment in the sun as a privileged tourist in HBO’s anthology. Cheers to Blockbuster for kindly rewinding to simpler times. Forget that Netflix ruined video stores, and focus instead on the sweetly nostalgic workplacecom starring Melissa Fumero and Randall Park as clerks at the former VHS giant’s last store standing. Cheers to HBO Max’s DC dramas for giving us the heroes we deserve…
