In the early days of television, mysterious disappearances were a problem pretty much limited to The Twilight Zone. These days, characters can mysteriously disappear anywhere, from The Disappeared to True Detective...

Do not forget this, oh, my darling: It’s tonight’s TCM showing of the classic 1952 Western starring Gary Cooper as a man standing alone – a movie made at a time when its analogies were both obvious and powerful. Today, another reason to watch is to pay particular attention to Grace Kelly, who walked away from movie stardom to become a real-life princess. She did well by herself, inarguably, but I sometimes wonder what roles she may have played in the years since, and just how l

Tonight’s episode in this modern vampire thriller is called: “I Want to Know What You Taste Like.” Which is an episodic title you might not otherwise encounter on TV this side of, say, NBC’s Hannibal.

Tonight’s episode, called “Matador,” has Fauna (India Eisley) not only getting closer to the secrets buried in and before her past, but getting invited, in her present day of 1965, to a Los Angeles high-society event billed as a “happening.” Expect the era’s then-reigning troika: sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. In this case, it's heavy on the former two, light on the latter.

What’s the point of saying, “Well, this has been a particularly volatile week in the world of politics. I wonder how this show will summarize and cover events after the past several days?”  These days, those sentences seem to emanate from good old Mad magazine’s Department of Redundancy Department…

Blake Shelton hosts – and guest performers include Shawn Mendes, Josh Groban, John Fogerty, Ed Sheeran, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, and John Legend.

Tonight’s new episode is set, in part, in an old-fashioned royal ball, which gives Jenna Coleman, as the usually drably dressed Queen Victoria, the chance to strut her stuff in gala fashion. Check local listings.

Last week, the Hilltop troop captured and tried to interrogate one of the captured mystery people – the unknown outsiders who use the facial skins of walkers as masks to walk among them, and “whisper.” Standard interrogation methods didn’t work, but a more sly approach has started to reap information – and tonight, we learn about, and meet, the group’s Alpha and Omega.

This is the penultimate episode – and right on schedule, we’re about to get some definitive answers to some of this mystery’s central questions. Including whether there really was, as one captured girl kept insisting, a “pink room” somewhere in a secluded castle…
