Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET
Just a reminder: I wasn’t bowled over by this new sitcom, which stars Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner as aggressively abrasive people who like one another, but little else. But it does feature lots of cameos by former and current Saturday Night Live players and others, so it’s not without its merits (as well as demerits). The reminder is that Hulu is rolling out Difficult People, which premiered last week, by presenting two new episodes every Wednesday – and episodes three and four arrive today.
TCM, 6:45 p.m. ET
Today’s “Summer Under the Stars” star on TCM is Robert Mitchum – and though the entire day and night is full of Mitchum movies, most of them are far from his best. In fact, the most intriguing Robert Mitchum offering of all today comes at 6:45 p.m. ET, when TCM presents Mitchum’s 1971 appearance on The Dick Cavett Show. There are moments here that are as awkward as a TV interview can get, right up there with David Letterman’s Late Show interview with Joaquin Phoenix.
ABC Family, 8:00 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: This new comedy series has gotten lukewarm reviews, but it has a great premise for a romantic sitcom. Kevin (Noah Reid) is working at a dull job, secretly enamored of workmate Audrey (Paige Spara). He gets a new job offer in a different country, and impulsively and drunkenly, on his last day at his old job, writes and mails a letter to Audrey revealing his secret love for her. Why not? Here’s why not: The new job falls through, and Kevin has to slink back into work at his old job after the weekend, waiting for the shoe to fall… which it does.
Comedy Central, 10:00 p.m. ET
We’re counting down to the end of Key & Peele, at this point, knowing that it, too, soon will leave Comedy Central, just as Jon Stewart did. Tonight’s program is titled “Job Interview,” and I’m sure it’ll be funny – but I’m still laughing at long-ago-aired Key & Peele segments. Like football player “Bismo Funyuns.” I’m just saying… I’m going to miss these guys.
USA, 10:01 p.m. ET
This is the next-to-last Mr. Robot of the season – and things continue to escalate on all fronts. In tonight’s episode, Elliot (Rami Malek) comes face to face, once again, with members of the Dark Army. And this time, they may be more amenable to helping with Elliot’s subversive plans.
