BUGS BUNNY AND FRIENDS “I was raised, like everybody of my generation, and today’s generation, on Bugs Bunny,” admits Bob Bergen, who has been voicing Porky Pig for decades. So you might want to listen closely for his work as Porky, Daffy and the rest of Bugs’ pals let loose in this daily block of shorts that serve up a madcap mix of vintage Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies clips going as far back as the 1930s, along with more modern moments from the late ’60s to the early 2000s.

Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE Saturday, Aug. 3, 8/7c, HBO “IT WAS TRULY like an eclipse of the sun,” Hollywood producer Samuel Marx is heard gushing about his first glimpse of Elizabeth Taylor, whom he helped launch to movie stardom when he cast the precocious beauty at age 10 in 1943’s Lassie Come Home. Few stars blazed so brightly, with as much electrifying glamour, as Taylor, and her tumultuous life in the public spotlight was even more the stuff of legend. It’s her voice we mostly hear, speaking candidly, with the occasional girlish—dare we say flirtatious?—giggle in director Nanette Burstein’s fascinating documentary, culled from 40 hours of newly discovered audio recordings during interviews with journalist Richard Meryman. “Maybe because of my personal life, I suggest something illicit,” Taylor…

THURSDAY, AUG. 1 Gotham City’s greatest crime fighter (above) returns to his old-school roots in this noirish and gorgeously animated new outing. It’s executive produced by the dream team of Lost cocreator J.J. Abrams, The Batman director Matt Reeves and Bruce Timm, who helped create the still-epic Batman: The Animated Series. And holy penguin suit: This one adds some sly new tweaks to a slew of classic characters as billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne (voiced by Hamish Linklater, Midnight Mass) dons his cowl to tangle with the likes of Harley Quinn (Jamie Chung), Harvey “Two-Face” Dent (Diedrich Bader) and Selina Kyle (Yellowjackets’ Christina Ricci). In the opener, we even get a fresh take on an iconic baddie at the head of a crime family who has a very explosive plan for…

@damianholbrook Cheers to Frasier for calling on fan fave Harriet Sansom Harris to revive Dr. Crane’s wild agent, Bebe. We feel better about Season 2 of Paramount+’s reboot already! Cheers to Ed O’Neill for playing against type. In Clipped, FX’s take on one of the NBA’s nastiest scandals, the Modern Family patriarch (above) is bringing his A game as the deeply unlikable, disgraced former Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Cheers to Presumed Innocent’s guiltiest pleasure. Even though Jake Gyllenhaal’s unfaithful lawyer is on trial for murder, it’s the brilliant Ruth Negga, as his enigmatically patient wife, who is killing it beyond a reasonable doubt. Cheers to Jack Quaid for becoming a true leading man among The Boys. The baby-faced actor behind Prime Video’s supes-battling vigilante Hughie (right) has always been a hoot to…

Source: Nielsen Media Research, week of June 17–23, 2024, in millions. Hockey Hits a High Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, in which the Edmonton Oilers came back from a 3–0 deficit to tie their series with the Florida Panthers, was the highest-rated NHL Final game since 2019. The seven-game series was the most watched Stanley Cup Final since 2013 across North America. Super Bloopers Despite the Olympic Trials, NBA and NHL Finals dominating the Top 25, the caught-on-camera comedy clip show remains popular with viewers, even in reruns of its 34th season. Speed Demon Noah Lyles proved to be the fastest man in the U.S. (and perhaps the world) with his victory in the 100-meter final, which helped to boost NBC to its largest audience for the U.S.…

Lucky 13 SERIES PREMIERE Thursday, July 18, 9/8c, ABC PICK OF THE WEEK! NOT DEAD YET’S Gina Rodriguez returns to primetime to cohost a new game show alongside basketball icon Shaquille O’Neal. The high-stakes competition series, executive produced by Kevin Bacon, focuses on contestants’ knowledge—but just because you’re confident about your answer, it doesn’t mean you’re safe. To win the $1 million cash prize, contestants must answer 13 tough questions…and then accurately predict how many of them they’ve gotten correct! Rodriguez, a self-proclaimed trivia buff, shares more. How is this show different from other game shows? The cool thing is that it’s really more about what you know about yourself. It’s not about “I have to get them all right.” It’s about knowing how many you believe you got [out…

Big Brother SEASON PREMIERE 9/8c, CBS It’s not officially summer until Julie Chen Moonves (right) takes in a bunch of tenants for another round of roommate roulette.

Movie Pick Abducted at an HBCU: A Black Girl Missing Movie MOVIE PREMIERE 8/7c, Lifetime What convinced Power star Naturi Naughton (above) to sign on to lead this emotional drama? It was “when I read the statistics about how many young Black women go missing and aren’t found—moreover, how many women are sold into sex trafficking,” she says. Naughton particularly loved that Ellen, the school counselor she plays, decides to search out a student who goes missing. “It was beautiful to see how hard Ellen was willing to fight to save [the girl’s] life!” BRING ON THE SNAKES! Indiana Jones Movie Marathon 9am/8c, Paramount Network “It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.” So says Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) to long-lost former love Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) in 1981’s Raiders…

An Ice Palace Romance 8/7c, Hallmark Channel In this holiday title from last December (it makes its network debut tonight), Chicago journalist Lori (Celeste Desjardins) returns to her hometown to cover a story on the closing of their beloved ice rink—the same place her Olympic dreams came crashing down following a career-ending fall. With the help of owner Mark (Marcus Rosner, left, with Desjardins) and his young daughter, she begins to reevaluate her life’s purpose. “It’s a reminder that we’re all part of something bigger than ourselves,” says director Shawna Steele of the film’s heartwarming theme. “Ambition is important, but it’s also important to take a look around and be grateful for what we already have.” The Breakfast Club 8:30/7:30c, SundanceTV The new Brat Pack documentary has sparked a fresh…

A QUICK CATCHUP WITH HOST JESSE PALMER The Bachelorette 8/7c, ABC IT’S BEEN 20 years since former New York Giants quarterback Jesse Palmer became the fifth-season Bachelor. He’s now the host of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, among other gigs, but Palmer’s lips are sealed about tonight’s episode. Still, he chatted with us about life as a husband and father, and more. What prompted you to go on The Bachelor in the first place? I thought it was going to be an incredible experience. I’ve always been one that likes to say yes to things, to embrace new situations and new environments and to try to make myself as comfortable in those situations as I can. The reality show genre—and dating shows, specifically—were very, very new at the time when…

The Agency has recruited two new operatives to its ranks: Emmy winner Jeffrey Wright (Westworld, Boardwalk Empire) and Richard Gere.

Wright will star as Henry, a director of operations who becomes a mentor to Martian, while Gere will play Bosko, the London Station chief.…

@TVGMMattRoush I’m doing a very big happy dance now that a fourth season has been confirmed for Resident Alien. But should I expect some creative changes now that it’s moving to USA? —Kelly, Arbuckle, CA MATT ROUSH: Let’s hope not. According to an update on USA’s website, the cast and showrunner Chris Sheridan aren’t going anywhere. And given how this sci-fi comedy left us hanging, with alien-in-disguise Harry (Alan Tudyk) and alien baby Bridget trapped on the moon while a shape-shifter poses as Harry on Earth, this is very good news. With All American being picked up for a seventh season on The CW while its spinoff All American: Homecoming was canceled, will any of the Homecoming characters move over to the parent show? —Scott S. MATT ROUSH: Too early…

A Bit of Costner Noon/11am c, BBC America If you schedule them, we will come. Yellowstone’s Kevin Costner, who has refocused his energies on his movie career with his Horizon Westerns, is at his best in this mini-marathon of beloved films. The nostalgic baseball fantasy Field of Dreams starts things off (it’s also at 9/8c).

61st Street SEASON PREMIERE 9/8c, The CW There’s some justice that comes with the fact that the second season of this crime drama created by Peter Moffat (shelved before it could air on its original home, AMC) is making its triumphant debut on network television. New episodes pick up with terminally ill lawyer Franklin Roberts (Courtney B. Vance, right) taking on a case of police brutality within the Chicago P.D. Of course, this puts him in the crosshairs of the corrupt cops he exposed in court last season, so we’re betting he’s gonna have a tough time getting anyone on the force to play nice.

She performed the song and her hits at that prison. HOW THE PROJECT CAME ABOUT “[I’ve had] the desire to perform in a prison since I was a child; Johnny Cash played at the local prison. About four years ago, [my manager and I] made contact with the warden and started exchanging letters.” THE TOUGHEST PART OF READING THE LETTERS “That all of them were mothers.
