Wilfred begins a final season that’s probably all in your head
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Wednesday, June 25. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Wilfred (FXX, 10 p.m.): After three seasons of an increasingly tenuous grasp on sanity, Wilfred will come to an end after these next 10 episodes. We’re kind of hoping the show doesn’t try to provide “answers” but, instead, just goes in for wild mind-fuckery to the very end. Then again, maybe that would be just as disappointing. Rowan Kaiser is hoping that he’ll get to follow coverage of this show up with a show where Sean Astin is helped through his personal crises by a beautiful woman in a goldfish suit. And if you think that sounds like a good show, he’s got a pilot script all ready to go.
REGULAR COVERAGE
So You Think You Can Dance (Fox, 8 p.m.): Can it be called regular coverage if we’re just dropping in every few weeks? It can now! Oliver Sava stops in for callbacks, which aren’t in Vegas for the first time ever. So where will they be held? We’re crossing our fingers for Shreveport!
TV CLUB CLASSIC
Lost (1 p.m.): This week, Todd VanDerWerff digs into the first Jack flashback, which should really be called a flashJack or, possibly, a Jackback, or maybe Jack attack. He’ll also check out what’s up with Sun, then announce who’s taking over once he leaves us all for other climes at the end of the week.
ELSEWHERE IN TV CLUB
“Just one more thing,” says Gwen Ihnat, and that’s all the introduction you need for the latest subject of a TV Club 10 installment. Yes, we’ve finally gotten around to dissecting Columbo in this space, and Gwen will prove why Peter Falk deserves to be on the list of the greatest TV detectives of all time.
At this point, you likely have your feelings about the Tournament Of Episodes all figured out, but we’d urge you to read Erik Adams’ take on Breaking Bad versus Community before jumping to any conclusions. We guarantee some excitement.
Just because Game Of Thrones isn’t on right now doesn’t mean you can’t get some of the same flavor from other pop culture—including some other TV shows. That’s why we’ve done this Inventory of other entertainments you can use to fill the Game Of Thrones-shaped hole in your life.
