FRIDAY NIGHT IN WITH THE MORGANS By David Bianculli

This is one of AMC’s instant series – a sort of "What can we put on easily, televised from people’s homes, that will fill an hour of TV and help promote a franchise series we’re not producing at the moment?" This one takes Jeffrey Dean Morgan, one of the stars of the past few seasons of The Walking Dead, playing casual country farmhouse, socially distanced talk-show host, along with his wife, Hilarie Morgan. Tonight’s show features comic Jim Gaffigan and h

HAVE A GOOD TRIP: ADVENTURES IN PSYCHEDELICS By David Bianculli

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Netflix is describing this debut film by comedy writer and producer Donick Cary as a documentary, but it seems assembled and intended more for entertainment than elucidation. Hosted by Nick Offerman, it’s basically a parade of celebrities telling of their personal experiences with LSD, mushrooms, peyote and other hallucinogenics, starting with Sting, and continuing with everyone from Sarah Silverman (who describes the foamy and bubbling hot chocolate served to her whi

THE SIMPSONS By David Bianculli

There’s a special musical treat tucked into this new episode of The Simpsons. Among the week’s guest stars are, or is, Weezer. And if you ever wondered how the theme to The Simpsons would sound if played by Weezer, the answer arrives tonight. And the answer, to borrow a phrase from Larry David, is: “Pretty, pretty good…”

DEAD TO ME By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: The first season of this Netflix series, which stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini as two women with what you might call complicated pasts, was one of last year’s more pleasant surprises. As a dual character study, it was impeccable. As a comedy, it was so dry and patient, it was easy to forget it was a comedy, until something Applegate’s understandably acerbic character said made you laugh out loud. As a mystery, and even as a drama, it could pu

BECOMING By David Bianculli

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Maybe there’s no way to approach this new Netflix documentary, which profiles and shadows former First Lady Michelle Obama as she embarks on her nationwide book tour for her 2018 memoir Becoming, without being political. But frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. This special has impressive shades of scale: It includes not only the giant arena tour venues, with the author interviewed by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King and Stephen Colbert, but pr

JERRY SEINFELD: 23 HOURS TO KILL By David Bianculli

SPECIAL PREMIERE: This standup comedy special, filmed last October at New York’s Beacon Theatre but only now premiering, is a remnant of the pre-corona age. Seinfeld is on stage in front of a sold-out, crammed-in audience. And while Jerry Seinfeld is ranting about perceived slights and minor annoyances, he’s complaining about things that now seem not only quaint, but temporarily unattainable. A buffet in Las Vegas? Seinfeld lists lots of very funny reasons why the buffet is a bad ide

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: "GEORGE W. BUSH" By David Bianculli

This is pure coincidence… but what timing. Over the weekend, President George W. Bush called for an end to partisanship in combating the coronavirus crisis, leading to a combatively reactive tweet by President Trump. But long, long before that, PBS and American Experience had produced and scheduled this new biographical study of George W. Bush himself. Check local listings. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower, and for background information, see

ZOEY'S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: This NBC show may be the most nakedly and effectively emotional family show since Parenthood and Friday Night Lights (and, to some, This Is Us) – and tonight, in an episode focusing on Peter Gallagher as the slowly dying father, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist presents its season finale. Bring tissues. And, for the fun of it, try to anticipate which father-daughter songs this episode of Zoey’s might bring to the tab

WESTWORLD By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: In last week’s episode, Dolores and Maeve squared off in an epic physical battle. By the end, Maeve appeared to have the upper hand – but only because Dolores had lost her lower arm. Both these characters, though, have died and been rebooted many times on this show already, so the fact that both of them slumped to the ground, seemingly lifeless, may not be all that consequential in the long run.

UPLOAD By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: You might expect Upload, the new series coming from Greg Daniels, to be very funny and clever and wry – and it’s all of that. Daniels, after all, was the guy who cracked the code, and adapted the brilliant British version of The Office into what became its impressive American equal – surprising skeptical TV critics, including myself, in the process. Upload is about a young man who dies in a freak accident, but whose consciousness a
