The Guardians Of Justice battle for your Tuesday night
Plus, the Worst Roommate Ever, Love Is Color Blind, and… Clone High?
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, March 1. All times are Eastern.
Top picks
The Guardians Of Justice (Netflix, 3:01 a.m., series premiere): Adi Shankar of the beautiful and glamorous Castlevania is behind this seven-episode superhero series that switches not just between animated formats but live action as well. The voice cast includes Diamond Dallas Page, Sharni Vinson, Denise Richards, RJ Mitte, Derek Mears, and more. The vibe is very much Adult Swim in the 1990s, or even MTV, back when stuff like Clone High—among Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s best work—was around.
The Larry David Story (HBO, 9 p.m.): This two-part documentary promises to tell th origin story of sitcom television’s greatest hero: Larry David. “What do you do when you’re talking and people are laughing? Comedy!” the Seinfeld co-creator observes. If only it were that simple, Larry! Though it is great to see his more down-t0-earth side. This is for every person who ever thought Curb Your Enthusiasm is a reality show rather than a (somewhat) scripted series.
UPDATE: HBO has pulled The Larry David Story from its schedule, reportedly at David’s desire “to do it in front of a live audience.” Of course, if he winds up taking that declaration back (and he does have a history of take backs—and inspiring dramatizations of take backs), we’ll let you know.
