Last season, Riverdale presented a musical episode in which the characters put on a school production of the musical Carrie – a stage play that resulted in an onstage murder. You’d think that would dampen the school’s appetite for a sequel, but tonight, Riverdale presents another musical episode, this time based on the musical Heathers. With Cheryl, Veronica and Betty as the leading Heathers…

Tonight’s TCM prime-time lineup is a rather fanciful scheduling conceit, collecting films with Alice in the title. But that’s more than enough excuse to replay 1969’s influential, and at the time somewhat controversial, Paul Mazursky movie about the swinging suburbs. The title roles are played, in order, by Robert Culp, Natalie Wood, Elliott Gould, and Dyan Cannon.

SPECIAL PREMIERE: This newest Amy Schumer special catches the comedian going through some changes. These include her recent marriage, and even more recent pregnancy – topics which provide several fresh new sub-topics for her standup act. Her husband, for example, is chef Chris Fischer, who has autism spectrum disorder, a condition that provides Schumer a ream of new material, and the opportunity to display and explore a more sensitive comic approach.

This 2000 Coen Brothers comedy has one of the best music compilation soundtracks since American Graffiti, and one of George Clooney’s best movie performances ever. Based on Homer’s The Odyssey, and borrowing its title from a fictional screenplay in a Preston Sturges comedy, O Brother stars Clooney as a convict on the lam in the Depression-era Deep South, a chain-gang escapee connected, quite literally, to fellow fugitives played by John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson. All three are re

SERIES PREMIERE: Rob Lowe is the host of this new Fox game show, which is part Jeopardy! played on speed dial, and part astronaut-training obstacle course. It’s weird, it’s fast, and Lowe may as well be playing his evil Number 2 henchman from the Austin Powers film – because he gets even more delight in the discomfort and anxiety of the contestants than Ellen DeGeneres does in NBC’s Ellen’s Game of Games. Is Mental Samurai fun to watch? You decide… And you&rs

Maybe it’s a perverse sign of gender progress that one of the biggest fraud scandals in recent Silicon Valley history came under a woman’s watch. For years, let’s face it; women never got far enough into the upper strata of the high-tech game to have a shot at that kind of superlative...

The sixth round of blind auditions for this latest cycle is presented tonight – and NBC isn’t through milking this phase of the competition. Wednesday night, it presents “Best of Blinds,” in case you haven’t been watching so far this cycle…
