Tonight’s episode is called “Past Life,” and features Coulson and his team, including Daisy (known, in the dystopian future in which they’re trapped, as the Destroyer of Worlds), trying to save the world. Twice. In their scary alternate future, and in the past, in order to escape from an endlessly recycling time loop.

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW By David Bianculli

Tonight’s episode of my favorite talk show – another new outing of one of the only TV shows I rely upon to make me laugh out loud, no matter what – features such guests as Liam Neeson and Dame Helen Mirren. Sounds like a somber crew – but with Graham Norton at the helm, expect irreverence. And hilarity. I’m guessing, for one thing, that Norton will be smart enough to point out that Mirren and Neeson co-starred in the movie Excalibur… 37 years ago. He played G

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER By David Bianculli

The news is still breaking as I write this Friday morning, but whatever happens, Maher and company will be on hand tonight to comment upon it. And Maher’s scheduled guests tonight include Richard Haass, David Frum, Donna Brazile, and a brief blast from the recent White House past, Anthony Scaramucci.

2 DOPE QUEENS By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: The podcast stars known as 2 Dope Queens move to a series of HBO specials, and make the most of it, bringing along other funny friends from the standup and comedy world, and, in tonight’s premiere, even an unexpected special guest. The titular queens are Phoebe Robinson from I Love Dick and Jessica Williams from The Daily Show, and they take the stage together to banter and riff, a dual dynamic not seen much on TV since the self-imposed retirement of Key & Peele. The g

'NAS LIVE FROM THE KENNEDY CENTER: CLASSICAL HIP-HOP' PUTS THE SPOTLIGHT ON 'ILLMATIC' By Roger Catlin

Putting an orchestral score to hip-hop tracks is the kind of one-shot thing that might be done at the Grammys — staged more for the visual impact than how it all sounded. But...

'A.P. BIO' IS AN EXPERIMENT IN COMEDY THAT FAILS By David Hinckley

NOT YETI — AT LEAST, NOT YET By Alex Strachan

I shared an elevator not so long ago with Matt Moneymaker. In a Beverly Hills hotel. He saw my TV Critics Association name badge, looked at me quizzically and said, “Didn’t you write about me?”...

THE BIG BANG THEORY By David Bianculli

The women take center stage in tonight’s Big Bang Theory, which pivots on two major plots. In one, the reboot of the Professor Proton TV show extends an invitation for a guest appearance – but not by long-time show admirer Sheldon, but by Amy. And in the other plot, Leonard writes a novel with a character who seems a lot like Penny, and that character isn’t exactly to Penny’s liking. Speaking of characters: the women on Big Bang, like the men, have evolved very significan

THE GOOD PLACE By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: Maya Rudolph continues her guest role as The Judge in tonight’s Season 2 finale of The Good Place, the most clever comedy series currently on TV. Last week, things didn’t look good at all for the futures of our main characters – and since that future is eternal, a Bad Place afterlife would be bad news indeed. But Michael (Ted Danson) may have one more trick to play. In fact, he’d better… though, with this show, part of its delight is its utter and in

30 FOR 30: "THE TWO BILLS" By David Bianculli

The Two Bills, in the title of tonight’s new ESPN documentary, are NFL coaches Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick. The two men have a relationship with football, and one another, that goes back many decades, but only one of them is coaching his team in Sunday’s Super Bowl – and I’ll be rooting against him. If this documentary is any good, it’ll help explain why.
