As always, this show’s writers find ways to get characters to react in different and new combinations of pairings. In tonight’s new episode, for example, Bernadette spends time with Stuart’s girlfriend, Denise, to get secret tips on how to beat Howard at one of his favorite video games.

PAM GRIER SALUTE By David Bianculli

If you have MGM HD on your cable or satellite system, today’s a good time to find it. Starting at 6 p.m. ET, the station is presenting a triple feature of Pam Grier movies: 1975’s Sheba, Baby (pictured), followed by 1973’s Coffy and the much more recent 1997 homage film, Jackie Brown.

THE GOOD PLACE By David Bianculli

I still miss Michael McKean on Better Call Saul – so I’m extremely happy to report that McKean is back in view tonight, as a guest star on The Good Place. That automatically makes it an even better place, so make sure to tune in.

MURPHY BROWN By David Bianculli

Tonight’s new episode is titled “The Coma and the Oxford Comma.” I note it with particular glee, because my children once ridiculed me for drilling them at dinner about “the penultimate comma,” until one of them encountered it (and understood it) during an opening-day lecture at law school. So there are reasons, after all, to be grateful for parents’ advice, information, and bad jokes. (Can you find the Oxford comma in that previous sentence?)

YOUTUBE PREMIUM'S LATEST IS THE SCI-FI 'ORIGIN' By David Hinckley

Say you’ve screwed everything up, like seriously screwed everything up. Then someone tells you there’s a way you can erase every trace of it and start over. It would be tempting, no?...

ORIGIN By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: All 10 episodes of this first season of YouTube’s newest series, presented on its YouTube Premium’s Red service, are presented today. It’s a sci-fi series, starring Harry Potter players Tom Felton and Natalia Tena as two people with troubled pasts who sign up as space travelers on a lengthy voyage to a new world.

52ND ANNUAL COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS By David Bianculli

SPECIAL PREMIERE: If it ain’t broke… The 2018 CMA Awards are hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. It’s not the first time they’ve co-hosted – in fact, this will be the 11th. One more, and they’ll tie the consecutive CMA hosting record set, between 1992 and 2003, by Vince Gill. As with the Grammys, live performances are big, and unexpected collaborations even bigger.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY: APOCALYPSE By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine… because this latest season of American Horror Story has had fun reaching back into its own past, and pulling characters and plot points from past seasons of AHS, while simultaneously telling a futuristic tale about the coming of the Antichrist and the end of everything. Except that with some witches from the Coven season showing up to plot against the evil archangel, the final days are not yet set in stone &nda

LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III: SURVIVING TWIN By David Bianculli

SPECIAL PREMIERE: This brand-new Netflix offering is described as a music special, but don’t believe it. Oh, it’s got music, and it’s special, all right – but it’s much more than a musical concert. This new TV program by Loudon Wainwright III is a one-man show – part comedy, part drama, part multimedia art project, peppered with songs and salted with generations of memories and insights. I’ve long been a fan of Wainwright’s wry, deft mix of dry hum

THE VOICE By David Bianculli

All 24 singers sang last night, and tonight those ranks will be whittled substantially. This time around, the performances were good, but few singers emerged as undeniably dominant. The race may be tighter for now as a result – and the votes, and the survivors, more difficult to predict.
