SERIES PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. CW is doing with Nancy Drew exactly what it did with its reboot of the Archie Comics property Riverdale. It’s populating a very small, quaint, nostalgic town with ultra-attractive young people, and moving them through a series of cartoonish, oversize plots and relationships, with a dash of dark weirdness to offset the vibrant sunny color palette. It’s like a Young Adult novel version of Twin Peaks,

The New York Yankees swept its series against the Minnesota Twins last night, winning the third and final game 5-1 and completing a stretch of persuasive dominance. That means there’s only one American League playoff game scheduled tonight: Game 4 of the Houston Astros-Tampa Bay Rays series, with Houston enjoying a 2-1 series lead.

(It’s been a tough day; sorry for the late delivery of Bets.) That game is being played right now on TBS. At 6:30 p.m. ET, TBS shows another National League Game 4, between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washingt

This sitcom has remained sweet and focused enough to warrant continued support. Chuck Lorre’s big strength as a comedy producer is his ability to let his characters breathe and evolve, and to encourage background players to step into the spotlight. All that is happening already, with members of Abishola’s outspoken family.

Last week was tough for a lot of the main characters, and fatal for one – and this week, everyone who survives is doing just that. Picking up the pieces, and trying to keep moving, and living, in (or away from) the Deuce…

Now we know why Fear the Walking Dead often had so little action this past season. All the battle choreographers and special effects producers had been sent over to the set of The Walking Dead...
