Through early morning fog you’ll see visions of the things to be: New seasons of Childrens Hospital and NTSF: SD: SUV::
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Thursday, July 25. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Childrens Hospital/NTSF: SD: SUV:: (Adult Swim, 12/12:15 a.m.): Adult Swim’s premier live-action programs return tonight, though one of them looks a bit different. Childrens Hospital enters its “M*A*S*H* year” for season five, moving the staff to a Japanese army base because sometimes hospitals-cum-medical-show-sets in L.A. get torn down. The NTSF première gets location-specific as well, basing an episode around San Diego’s proudest civic event: Comic-Con. David Sims scrubs up while working on his Alan Alda impression, and Kevin McFarland prepares to cosplay as S.A.M.
REGULAR COVERAGE
Orange Is The New Black (Netflix, 4 p.m.): The first of this week’s episodes revolves around the inmates attempting to get their hands on some decent food—a chicken spotted from the exercise yard, to be exact. If they can also scrounge up some breading and dipping sauces, Myles McNutt will be glad to show the ladies how to prepare what he calls “Chicken McNutt-gets.”
Wilfred (FX, 10 p.m.): At last, Ryan’s putting the fact that he has a talking dog to good use, pulling a full Hanna-Barbera and forming a human-canine detective duo. If it’s not too much trouble, Rowan Kaiser would prefer if they model their methods (and costumes) after Blue Falcon and Dynomutt.
Graceland (USA, 10 p.m.): One Graceland resident confesses to a screw-up, which prompts another to do the same—and if this pattern doesn’t stop, Genevieve Valentine might not have a show to review next week.
TV CLUB CLASSIC
Monty Python’s Flying Circus (11 a.m.): Live, from the BBC in 1970, it’s The Attila The Hun Show! Starring Attila The Hun, Kay Sludge as Mrs. Attila The Hun, and introducing Zack Handlen as “The Beaver.”
