I'LL HAVE WHAT PHIL'S HAVING
PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET
SEASON FINALE: I’m writing Season Finale, rather than Series Finale, because I’m hoping PBS will be smart enough to order more installments of this engaging, inspirational and wholly delightful food and travel show from Phil Rosenthal. Otherwise, tonight is the final outing of I’ll Have What Phil’s Having, and though he doesn’t travel far – tonight’s subject is his adopted city of Los Angeles – he serves up good food and great fun. On-camera guests invited along for various legs in this week’s journey include Martin Short, Paul Reiser and Norman Lear – and after all those laughs, the episode ends with a truly touching visit to a place where food preparation is used to heal, and rehabilitate.
