Tonight’s installment of this clever Greg Garcia comedy anthology series stars Jenna Fischer, who was so endearing as the receptionist Pam on NBC’s version of The Office. She plays a scientist who attempts an innovative form of therapy for an Alzheimer’s patient, played by the great Orson Bean. She takes him to one of the few places he remembers – an old vacation cabin from decades ago – and redecorates and repopulates it so that she and everyone else who visits app

The first episode of Mr. Mercedes, two weeks ago, opened with a car used as a weapon, driving into a helpless crowd – a scene televised days before a similar horror played out for real in Charlottesville. Last week, episode two ended with another chilling scene, but this time it was shocking, and memorable, because of its deliberate and well-aimed profane bluntness. For two episodes, the vehicular villain played by Harry Treadaway had badgered, by computer emails and other means, the now-r

Monday’s eclipse was an amazing thing to witness, even if you had a view of something less than totality. And now, only a few days later, we get another thrill from space. This one, though, is man-made: the Voyager unmanned space probes were launched 40 years ago, and Voyager 1 has become the first man-made object to reach interstellar space, beyond the reach of our solar system, sending back data and photos for much of its 11-miles-per-second journey. Tonight, a four-decades anniversary r

It’s Glenn Ford day at TCM on tonight’s Summer Under the Stars tribute, and there are interesting films all day, including, at 4 p.m. ET, the classic 1955 inner-city school drama, Blackboard Jungle. But in prime time, pay attention to this rarely televised 1962 crime thriller, Experiment in Terror, in which Ford plays an FBI guy handling a case in which a man threatens to kill a woman’s younger sister, whom he’s captured, unless the woman steals  money for him from t
