It really is the perfect time for Another Period
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Wednesday, June 15. All times are Eastern.
Top picks
Another Period (Comedy Central, 10 p.m.): Another Period is coming back, and it’s coming back hard. (Sorry.) The second season premiere of Comedy Central’s 20th-century farce returns tonight (as do LaToya Ferguson’s weekly reviews) with “Tubman.” No, not some other Tubman: “In the Season 2 premiere, Lillian and Beatrice get advice from Harriet Tubman on how to make a name for themselves. Meanwhile, Peepers fills a new servant position; and Chair welcomes baby Kermit into the world.” This is just what summer television needs—Another Period, making its heavy presence known. (Not sorry.)
The People’s Couch (Bravo, 10 p.m.): A “special presentation” of The People’s Couch, only with kids this time: “A special edition features children reviewing popular shows in Britain.” See? Just like we said. Clearly, The People’s Couch realizes that every show (everything, in general) should just have kids take over all the roles. Another Period: Before The Period. Casual Kids. Wait, no, this is going in a very bad direction…
AFI Lifetime Achievement Award (TNT, 10 p.m.): Tonight, it’s the 44th AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, “A Tribute To John Williams.” Understandable, since three of the film scores listed on AFI’s 100 Years Of Film Scores (which includes 25 film scores) are from John Williams. Star Wars, the Indiana Jones series, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan—the list goes on and on. That’s exactly what you’d want and need out of a lifetime achievement award recipient. So it all works out! There, we course-corrected from the kids thing.
