MAKING HISTORY By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: There’s a baffling surfeit of time-travel shows this season, from NBC’s Timeless and the CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow to ABC’s brand new Time After Time spinoff, which begins tonight. But this new Fox series is a comedy, not a drama, and that may make all the difference.

In the title roles, Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange are a delight as, respectively,

LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER By David Bianculli

I know, I mention John Oliver every week. But I watch him every week, and I’m always so grateful for the work he’s put in, as well as the laughs. If you haven’t seen him yet, give him a try. If you have, then, like me, you’re almost certain to return.
