SEASON PREMIERE: Among the new players added for Season 2 of this Chuck Lorre comedy, made expressly for streaming and Netflix, is Jane Seymour, playing an old, old friend who comes back into the picture… perhaps romantically. Alan Arkin stars, along with Michael Douglas. For a behind-the-scenes peek at the show, see Mike Hughes' Open Mike.

Tonight is Game 3 of this already exciting and unpredictable World Series, with a change of both venues and rules. The first two games were played in Houston, where the Astros had not only the home-field advantage, but the extra advantage of playing under American League rules, which provides for the designated hitter rule. Now that the action is shifting to a National League venue, with the Washington Nationals playing host on their field, the NL rules apply – which means pitchers must ta

Tonight’s new American Masters installment profiles one of the leaders of the abstract expressionist movement. The question is: Did Mark Rothko really lead the movement? Or was he framed? Check local listings.

Le Bron James has turned his casual HBO talk show into one of TV’s best, and most frank, places for conversation, about race and role models as well as sports and athleticism. Tonight, a new installment – and among the guests stopping by The Shop is a familiar face from another HBO series: Bill Hader of Barry.

SERIES PREMIERE: This new Netflix series is an odd curiosity – or a curious oddity – that you may consider worth a look. Imagine the Mad Max post-apocalyptic universe, and the deadly tribal fiefdoms of The Warriors, transplanted to a group of futuristic high school cliques. The bomb has dropped, all adults are dead or zombie-ish, and the teens left behind are fighting for supremacy, Lord of the Flies style. How did all this come about? The hero, a former

On a slow night, curl up with a classic character comedy-drama that defined a generation. Lawrence Kasdan wrote and directed this 1983 movie, which examined Baby Boomers reuniting while reflecting on their own relationships, directions, and personal meanings. And my, what a cast: Glenn Close, Kevin Kline, William Hurt, Jeff Goldblum, all young and dynamic and somewhat adrift. Oh, and the music. Watch for the actors. Listen for the music.

Last week, it was revealed that Janet (D’Arcy Carden) wasn’t the team’s familiar, friendly Janet, but a “bad Janet” impersonating her in order to sew discord. Tonight, there’s a rescue mission, to find and return the good Janet to the Good Place – or whatever place they’re in right now.
