SERIES PREMIERE: This isn’t a recommendation, just a notation. In this new mixture of medical series and paranormal investigative drama, Jennifer Beals plays a doctor financed by a dying billionaire (Matthew Modine) to investigate what happens after death. She’s like a modern-day Houdini, looking for “proof” of life after death. My guess: Ironically, Proof will be canceled before she finds out. And then we’ll never know… For a full review see Ed Bark's Uncle

TNT’s “proactive makeover” is currently in progress, with new Turner entertainment head and former Fox programmer Kevin Reilly warning TV watchers to “expect some very daring shows..." Proof, a leftover from the pre-Reilly TNT, could well be caught in his crossfire if it's not an immediate hit...

SERIES PREMIERE: Technically, this new Amazon series, a Channel 4 import from England – won’t premiere on Amazon Prime until later this week – Friday, to be precise. But in yet another example of TV reaching us in new ways (and for the record, enough is enough, thanks), Amazon is previewing the streaming of its new Catastrophe comic series on its Amazon Facebook page. However and whenever you find it, it’s worth sampling. Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney star in, and co-wrot

MINISERIES FINALE: If you’ve been watching Texas Rising for weeks, you’ve waited long enough for the finale, and here it is. And if you haven’t seen the earlier episodes, you still can: History is repeating the entire miniseries, beginning at 1 p.m. ET, as a prelude to tonight’s miniseries finale.

If you’re not a fan of the increasing use of recreations in certain documentaries, chances are you won’t be much of a fan of this new series either. It’s self-described as a “docudrama,” which recounts the lives (and, often, the murders) of such famous mobsters as Bugsy Siegel and Lucky Luciano. For a full review, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes.

If you’ve been watching up to this point, you may be asking the same question I am: If Drill is so powerful, and can manipulate so many things (and children), why doesn’t he/she/it/them come up with a more straightforward way of carrying out his/her/its/their nefarious plans? Just asking.

In Game 4 of this year’s NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors countered the Cleveland Cavaliers’ two-game winning streak by going with a smaller lineup full of more accurate shooters. That evened the series at two games apiece, with each time winning one game at home and one on the road. Now it’s Game 5, with the Warriors hosting from Oakland, and from here on in, if there is a home-team advantage, that advantage switches every game – a rule change that just might make a
