A melancholy farewell to TV talk show host Phil Donahue, who died over the weekend after a long illness. Most people today are too young to remember Donahue, whose show The Phil Donahue Show ran for almost 30 seasons, but they are familiar with his impact, as he was the progenitor of syndicated daytime talk shows. Thereâs no Oprah or The Kelly Clarkson Show without Phil. I remember his hustle with the microphone, the way he made big glasses cool, and that part in The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult when [Frank Drebin pretended to be him]( at an awards show. Absolute legend. Hereâs what to watch this week. -Tim Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide! MONDAY ON NETFLIX [AMC is bringing some bangers (and fangers) to Netflix]( [Even though there is such a thing as AMC+ â which nobody subscribes to â children of the streaming era might not be too familiar with AMC's wares, which is a damn shame because the network that once dominated cable during the Peak TV era is still putting out quality stuff. Well, now you can get to know some of the networkâs recent shows, because Netflix is showcasing select AMC series that were previously only streaming on AMC+. Among the highlights are the excellent adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, the incredible first season of the historical horror anthology The Terror (one of my personal favorite seasons of television ever), and Clive Owen's detective series Monsieur Spade. Other AMC series coming to Netflix include Dark Winds, Gangs of London, Fear the Walking Dead, Into the Badlands, and Preacher. Slightly related: Also heading to Netflix the same day is Lifetime and Hulu's enticing drama about reality TV, UnREAL. The first two seasons are surprisingly good.](
SEASON 2 PREMIERES FRIDAY ON APPLE TV+ [Pachinko returns with one of 2024âs best seasons of TV]( When Pachinko premiered in 2022, [we said]( the show "pushed TV toward a more connected future." The story, based on Min Jin Lee's New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, is told in three languages, set across three countries, and follows three generations of one family. Season 1's finale was marked by despair, as our main character, Sunja (Minha Kim), watched her husband, Isak (Noh Sang-hyun), get arrested by the Japanese police. But Pachinko is all about Sunja weathering the storms in her life, and the episode ended with her trying to start anew as her family's provider â something we're bound to see more of in Season 2. [Yuh-Jung Youn]( stars as the older version of Sunja, and the cast also includes Lee Minho, Anna Sawai, and Jin Ha. As [Keith Phipps writes in his glowing review,]( â...if this season is any indication, it's the sort of show that will only grow richer with each new season.â -Kat Moon
FRIDAY ON NETFLIX [Incoming revives the R-rated raunchy teen party comedy]( [Kids who grew up watching raunchy teen comedies like Superbad, which was made by kids who grew up watching American Pie, which was made by kids who grew up watching Revenge of the Nerds, which was made by kids who grew up watching Animal House, are now making their own raunchy teen comedies. Netflixâs Incoming is the latest film about dorky kids who infiltrate the cool crowd â itâs literally just about some high school freshmen who go to their first high school party â and though thereâs nothing to separate it from the crowd, these are always kind of fun even if theyâre arenât good, arenât they? Itâs Always Sunny in Philadelphiaâs Dave Chernin and John Chernin wrote and directed it, so they were able to finagle Kaitlin Olson to play one of the kidsâ moms. So, uhhhh, Kaitlin Olson is playing a mom in a high school comedy? Iâm getting old.]( â¦OUT WITH THE OLD [All the new fall shows to keep an eye on]( Weâve been keeping track of all the new shows coming out this fall season that weâre interested in, and based on our findings, weâre going to need to clear out some time on our calendars. From broadcast procedurals about doctors doing things differently to streaming limited series about rich families involved in a murder, the fall TV season this year is looking plenty bountiful. are all the big new releases coming over the next several months](
