@TVGMMattRoush What ever happened to Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time? Only a few episodes were shown, and it hasn’t been seen again. I enjoyed all of Robert Jordan’s books and would love to see this completed. —Art A. MATT ROUSH: A second season was filmed but may have been delayed because of the fanfare around the streamer’s higher-profile fantasy The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Good news: Wheel already has a renewal for Season 3. Back in July 2021, it was announced that TBS was going to reboot Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (1976–77) with Emily Hampshire from Schitt’s Creek playing Mary. Now that TBS is out of the scripted series game, has this died as well, or could it go to another outlet? I was looking forward…

The Neighborhood 8/7c, CBS LETTING GO OF a work routine he’s had for 30 years turns out to be anything but easy for Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer): He should be putting his feet up after the substantial payday he got from selling his auto repair business, Calvin’s Pit Stop. Tonight on the comedy, he tries to embrace a life of leisure, traveling to Madrid with wife Tina (Tichina Arnold, above, with Cedric) for the honeymoon they never had. The actor tells us how that works out. Easing into retirement shouldn’t be so hard for Calvin, but it is. What’s going on? It’s one of those things where you realize you have worked hard and deserve the opportunity to get a win in life. And yet Calvin is still very…

Hell’s Kitchen 8/7c, Fox Membership has its privileges!

The Young and the Restless CBS, check local listings Daytime Pick The year was 1983 and Tracey E. Bregman (below) was cast in a short-term role as Lauren, a friend of good girl Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) on CBS’s daytime drama The Young and the Restless. “Lauren didn’t even have a last name,” says Bregman, laughing about that fateful day. “[Executive producer] Bill Bell said that I went to exit [the scene] and I turned back and looked at Beth and he saw Lauren Fenmore, the mean girl.” The stink-eyed teen may have made her mark bullying Traci, but she eventually left her nasty side behind to become one of Genoa City’s most upstanding citizens. That’s why today’s show, which marks Bregman’s 40th anniversary on the soap, is devoted to…

HOLIDAY LIGHT I loved the Hallmark Channel movie Hanukkah on Rye. It was delightful, creative and heartfelt. It gave new energy to what has become a rather tired holiday movie genre. I’m an ex–New Yorker and they got that vibe just right! —Mary VIVID MEMORIES In the tribute to TV people who departed last year [“A Starry Farewell,” December 19], one omission is worth mentioning: Liz Sheridan. How could you include Estelle Harris, who played George’s mother on Seinfeld, and ignore Sheridan, who was Jerry’s mother? To paraphrase Helen Seinfeld, who didn’t like her? —Willie Your tribute did not mention Olivia Newton-John. She was in TV movies, had cameos on Murphy Brown and Glee and appeared on reality shows like American Idol. —Bob FLURRY COMMENTARY Cheers to the local ABC…

@TVGMMattRoush Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches Sundays, 9/8c, AMC (also AMC+) “THINGS DON’T END well for the women in this family,” warns one of New Orleans’ Mayfair matrons at a wake for one of their own, who died under extremely bizarre circumstances. Do tell. And do they ever, with reams of exposition to lay the foundation for Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, which plays like a weak Gothic stepsister to last year’s more compellingly erotic AMC adaptation of Rice’s Interview With the Vampire. “I can’t believe this s--t,” snaps Rowan Fielding (tremulous Alexandra Daddario), born a Mayfair but given to adoption, from whence she became a successful San Francisco neurosurgeon. Her spooky and alarming ability to make brain vessels rupture just by visualizing them spurs her to investigate and reclaim her heritage,…

WHEN ALIAS TOUCHED down on ABC in 2001, the J.J. Abrams–created series dazzled viewers and critics as a butt-kicking breath of fresh air. Starring Jennifer Garner as spy Sydney Bristow, the action-packed drama boasted not only a female central character but also mythology-heavy storytelling. The show’s heart-stopping cliffhangers and hairpin turns left viewers picking their jaws up off the floor. And no hourlong installment prompted more reaches for defibrillators than “Phase One,” broadcast the night of 2003’s Super Bowl XXXVII—a victory by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Oakland Raiders. The episode earned Alias its best ratings ever. A hard-to-fathom 20 years old this month, that episode sees heroine Sydney defeating longtime CIA enemy target the Alliance of Twelve, the sprawling organized crime syndicate she’d been trying to take down…ever…

Walker 8/7c, The CW The past won’t give Cordell Walker (Jared Padalecki, right) a break! Just as the Texas Ranger deals with the PTSD of his abduction and torture—with brother Liam (Keegan Allen)—by Grey Flag mercenaries, more chaos strikes. Cordi and partner Cassie (Ashley Reyes) hid key information related to the case, but Captain James (Coby Bell) is digging in.

@damianholbrook Cheers to Ghosts for adding new life to the laughs. CBS’s specter-filled hit struck gold once again by bringing on comic Mike Lane as Freddie, the very much alive assistant helping Sam and Jay (Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar) run their DOA-haunted B&B. Cheers to Noah Centineo for being The Recruit’s best asset. Like a Jason Bourne for the TikTok crowd, the poster hunk of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before brings a disarming mix of macho and mischief to Netflix’s Alias-like thriller as a CIA lawyer in way over his head…and headed for a killer cliffhanger. Cheers to Fantasy Island for reopening with a major upgrade. After just over a year, Fox’s enchanting reboot of the ABC anthology gem is finally back and smartly giving resort host Roarke (the perfectly…
