SAYONARA, SHELDON! I watched the series finale of Young Sheldon on May 16 on CBS and liked both episodes. The first, about Sheldon’s dad’s funeral, was sad, but Meemaw talking about George Sr. was funny. The second was good also, with Sheldon going off to college at Caltech. Playing “Walk of Life” at the end was appropriate. [Editor’s note: The Dire Straits song was also the first song played in the series opener.] —Ken Kudos to Young Sheldon for creating the best series finale I’ve ever seen. Both the writers and the actors captured the realism and humor in each character’s reaction to George Sr.’s death. (I used up four tissues on that first half hour alone.) —Sharon COMIC TIMING I’m a big fan of Abbott Elementary and Ghosts, two different-style…

@TVGMMattRoush Evil Thursdays, Paramount+ YOU’LL SCREAM TILL you laugh. Or is that laugh till you scream? Works either way for Evil, my favorite supernatural thriller since The X-Files. The scariest part: It’s ending after just four seasons (the first aired on CBS). With its delectable mix of humor and terror, Evil isn’t going out quietly. “Are we really on that level of crazy?” wonders Kristen (saucy Katja Herbers), the forensic psychologist and skeptic, during a case about possibly possessed pigs. Yes, we really are. Her team, including hunky priest David (Mike Colter) and wry tech expert Ben (Aasif Mandvi), regularly debunk some of their wildest assignments: A werewolf turns out to be a robot dog with questionable software. (Kristen’s rowdy daughters want to adopt it.) Yet they live in a…

Do you remember your first day on Wheel? I remember being extremely nervous. It was hard for me to even talk. My mouth was just shaking out of nerves, because it was, “I can’t believe this is happening. I’m on a TV show.” What got you through it? Pat. [He said,] “Calm down, it’s going to be OK.” I was just a little old girl from North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, wanting to be on TV from the time I was 10. He made me feel comfortable in front of a camera. He was my teacher. How do you feel about his retirement? I can’t describe how I feel. I feel happy for him. I can’t imagine doing the show without him after 41 years. I sum it up as…

Below Deck Mediterranean SEASON PREMIERE Monday, June 3, 9/8c, Bravo PICK OF THE WEEK! AHOY! THIS YEAR, the seafaring reality series sets sail around Athens and the Greek islands as Capt. Sandy Yawn (right) and her hard-working crew accept wealthy (and usually difficult) passengers aboard the 180-foot superyacht Mustique. Let’s hope this season is a reset after the drama-heavy eighth outing, which ventured around Italy. Well, maybe. Yawn—who continues to have faith in her crew but isn’t always privy to every fling and pressure-building situation—notes a pattern she’s observed in her years of experience: “In the beginning, the crew are eager and willing to work. They’re in it to win it. And then, by day two and a half, the wheels fall off. By charter three, it is meltdown time.”…

Beat the Bridge SERIES PREMIERE 6/5c, Game Show Network A team of three contestants stand side by side, overlooking an enormous interactive bridge that can only be crossed by stepping on the correct answers within a category. (For example, with “Sports,” a player may be required to guess seven Texas-based teams in a row.) Each correct response nets them more money, up to a total of $15,000, with a shot at bonus cash if they all make a successful crossing. But if they want to take their winnings home? One team member will have to return back across the board in a 90-second speed round. “It’s [the players] against the bridge,” says host Cameron Mathison (above, second from right) of the game show based on the British series Bridge of…

Alone SEASON PREMIERE 9/8c, History “I’m going to fight this thing out until the last breath.” “Stay focused.” “It’s short term.” Those are just a few of the often agonizing words of motivation contestants tell themselves during Alone. The reality series is the ultimate test of human will, as survivalists are left in the wild to battle fierce predators, merciless weather, bitter cold and extreme isolation (with no camera crews). The last person standing out of 10 claims the prize of $500,000. In Season 11, competitors will be dropped in Inuvik, Canada, the farthest north the series has ever trekked. They can choose only 10 items from a list of 60, organized into categories like shelter, hygiene and food. Since Season 4, almost every winner or runner-up has taken a…

Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution SERIES PREMIERE 9/8c, PBS (check local listings at pbs.org) As you might expect, this vibrant three-part documentary on the rise and fall of the disco era has a great beat and you can dance to it. Dancing being the motivating factor that fueled the genre’s birth in the early 1970s in abandoned New York City warehouses and underground clubs. In these havens, marginalized people found community within walls of sound and pulsating tempos, allowing free expression of Black pride, women’s newfound liberation and LGBTQ+ acceptance. “In the late ’70s, the outsider became the insider,” says photographer Bill Bernstein, who captured the scene as “disco divas” including Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor became superstars, Saturday Night Fever conquered the box office and record charts, and the…

Jo’s detective husband Pat (Matt Stokoe, Rundle’s real-life partner) tells the very pregnant Jo otherwise. “She has this restless energy about her,” Rundle says. “She knows she might be able to [solve] this, which will cement her as a detective. Then she can pop the baby out and get on with her career.” Not so much, in this tense six-parter.…

Ryan Seacrest knows a thing or two about following in the footsteps of a legend. After all, he not only cohosted Live With Kelly and Ryan in a seat once occupied by Regis Philbin, but he also stepped into beloved TV personality Dick Clark’s shoes to emcee Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. So you might think he’d take the idea of standing beside Vanna White as Pat Sajak’s replacement on Wheel of Fortune in stride. But no. “I’m like a kid, so excited about just seeing the set, you know,” he told the Today show about his new gig coming this fall. And he admitted to E! News, “Of course I’m nervous. I haven’t done it yet, so I’m terrified!” Even so, Seacrest is no stranger to game shows.…

Deadliest Catch SEASON PREMIERE 8/7c, Discovery SEASON 20 OF the reality series, which chronicles the intense journeys of fishing crews working on the Bering Sea, centers on 2023’s Alaskan king crab fishing season—the first in three years. And it was done as a derby-style race, the first one in decades, making the task even more cutthroat among veteran and rookie captains and crews who were forced to obtain their crab hauls within a tight time frame. “Fishermen are greedy and they’re not to be trusted, so that was our incentive,” says Sig Hansen (right), captain of the F/V Northwestern and a vet not only of this industry but also the show. (He is the only captain to have appeared in every season to date.) Here, Hansen previews the landmark episodes.…

TUESDAY, JUNE 4 What kind of foul do you have to commit to be banned from the NBA for life? Among folks who have that distinction—former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, whose leaked audio recordings of racist comments, made to then-mistress V. Stiviano, earned him sports infamy worthy of this juicy limited series. Based on the hit ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs, the series goes behind the scenes to drill down on Sterling’s (Ed O’Neill, in a skillful turn) fraying bond with wife and business partner Shelly (Jacki Weaver, above left, with O’Neill) due in part to his affair with Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman), the ambitious, Instagram-worshipping assistant/mistress whose secretly recorded conversations were leaked to the press in 2014. Watching from the sidelines is Laurence Fishburne as…

And as a longtime viewer of the franchise, Vassos, who lost her husband to cancer after 32 years of marriage, is determined to show the world that love has no age limit. “We’re still fun and energetic,” she told CNN. “And we know how to use our phones.”…

@TVGMMattRoush America’s top TV critic Matt Roush answers your burning questions The entire final season of So Help Me Todd was bangers! (Grrr, CBS.) Could someone ask the powers that be at this amazing, hilarious, gone-much-too-soon show what they were intending for Season 3? Thanks to the cast and crew from the Weaver family in Spokane for two perfect seasons. You will be missed. —Matthew MATT ROUSH: Those were the feet of series creator Matt Prendergast in the final shot as new villain Merritt Folding (not yet cast), the heretofore unseen partner at the firm, who framed Margaret (Marcia Gay Harden) for his crimes.

PICK OF THE WEEK! Hotel Cocaine SERIES PREMIERE Sunday, June 16, 9/8c, MGM+ “COLORFUL, INTRIGUING, DANGEROUS,” is how Danny Pino (Mayans M.C., Law & Order: SVU) describes the world of Roman Compte, the real-life Cuban exile and general manager of Miami’s Mutiny Hotel and its glitzy nightclub, ground zero for the disco era’s cocaine scene. In this fictionalized eight-part drama created by Chris Brancato (Godfather of Harlem), DEA agent Zulio (Michael Chiklis) pressures Compte to rat on his drug kingpin brother Nestor Cabal (Yul Vazquez, above right, with Pino and Chiklis) by threatening to disrupt the life of Roman’s teenage daughter Valeria (Corina Bradley). Pino gives us a room key. How is this role different from others you’ve played? It’s different from the precinct in Manhattan investigating sex crimes [on…

Nosy Neighbors 6:30am/5:30c, TCM Neighbors have been nosy for at least as long as there have been windows, as is clear in the first of eight movies in this classic film marathon, 1931’s Way Back Home. In that drama, Maine preacher Seth Parker (Phillips Lord) takes umbrage at the town’s judging of an abandoned girl (Bette Davis). If we were to judge, the jewels in this slate are two 1950s classics. In 1955’s The Night of the Hunter (12:45/11:45am c), Robert Mitchum is a psychopathic preacher who marries Willa (Shelley Winters), widow of his former prison cellmate, and ignites suspicion from some, including her meddlesome boss (Evelyn Varden). And while Manhattan photographer L.B. Jefferies (James Stewart, below) in 1954’s Rear Window (4/3c) is at home with a broken leg, he…

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12 In Season 2 of the auction house series, which plays like Pawn Stars on steroids, prime mover Ken Goldin (above right, with exec producer Peyton Manning) is, in his own words, “all business. This is hardcore deals,” he says of trying his best to possess and peddle memorabilia that anyone with an eye for the coolest items in sports, music, movies and pop culture would crave. Just a view of the most famous baseball card in history—the T206 Honus Wagner in great condition—leads Goldin to offer the potential seller millions in guarantee money. Not all the deals get closed in these eight episodes, but the thrill is the chase for things of greatness, whether it’s baseball MVP Ronald Acuña Jr.’s bats, one of pro wrestling legend Ric…

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12 Upstanding married lawyer has an affair… and is later accused of murdering his mistress. It’s a tale as old as time, or in the case of this eight-part series, as old as 1990, when Scott Turow’s thrilling novel was brought to the screen in a feature starring Harrison Ford. Now Jake Gyllenhaal (below) steps into the dock as Rusty Sabich, a prosecutor pleading innocent to killing his colleague and lover Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve). The lure of this adaptation from überbusy TV hitmaker David E. Kelley is not just the legal drama but grappling with whether you believe such a guy next door could commit a vicious homicide. “On the surface, it’s a whodunit,” Kelley says. “But what we love most about this story is the human…
