Stars celebrate a Hollywood legend in an endearing special, one of broadcastâs best new series wraps up its season, a speedy superhero runs out of time to finish its season, and hippies trap themselves in a sphere in this fascinating doc.
Hello!
Your supply of toilet paper isn’t the only thing running out. Television production has been on hold for months now, and new television is dying up. Networks are responding by buying or borrowing shows from smaller streaming services or other countries to fill in their schedules for the summer and fall. This fall, [Fox will air the first two seasons of the Bad Boys spin-off L.A.’s Finest]( which was previously only available via Spectrum’s on-demand service. The CW is [grabbing both seasons of the canceled anthology Tell Me a Story]( from CBS All Access, and will air it sometime in the future. But most importantly, The CW has also “saved” DC Universe’s Swamp Thing, an underrated horror-ticulture superhero series that was inexplicably canceled after one shortened season [despite positive reviews](. Expect similar announcements from other networks over the next few weeks. Will any of these shows get new life now that people will actually be able to watch them? For my pal Swampy, I sure hope so. Here are today’s TV picks. –Tim

[Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt](
[Can you break the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?](
Now on Netflix
Are you one of those people who scream at the TV to make characters do something? "Don't go in the basement!" "Girl, dump his ass! You’re better than that dog!" “Get so drunk on power and upset because people don’t agree with your claim to absolute right to the Iron Throne that you unleash your dragons on King’s Landing, killing everyone inside and forcing your nephew-boyfriend to murder you!” Well, lucky for you, Netflix is obsessed with the idea of interactive TV (see: Black Mirror's Bandersnatch, Bear Grylls’ You vs. Wild, and some kids' stuff), and is applying state-of-the-art button pressing to an interactive special of its comedy series The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. You get to choose if Kimmy and Titus walk or take an Uber! Uhhhh, and so forth. This will either work great, go terribly, or fall somewhere in the middle. As for the episode's actual plot, Kimmy discovers that there might be another bunker full of women, so she tries to save them just days before her wedding.

TUESDAY, TUESDAY HAPPY DAYS
[The Happy Days of Garry Marshall](
[The Happy Days of Garry Marshall honors a Hollywood legend](
Tuesday at 8/7c on ABC
What do Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Chris Pine, Ron Howard, and dozens of others have in common? They became Hollywood A-listers thanks to the genius of Garry Marshall — and they'll all pay tribute to the rom-com super director in ABC's Happy Days of Garry Marshall, airing tonight. The two-hour special recaps Marshall's fairy-tale Hollywood career from creating Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley to directing some of the most beloved comedies of our lifetime. The stars who helped make those iconic classics share their favorite memories with Marshall and his family, and explain what made him such a special person not just in their lives, but for everyone who was touched by the timeless art he put into the world. It's interesting to learn how many of our favorite films and TV shows Marshall had a hand in, but you should keep tissues on standby for when you realize how much joy and warmth that man brought into the world. –Megan Vick
HOME IS WHERE YOU MAKE IT
[Spaceship Earth](
[Spaceship Earth is Hippies Under the Dome](
Now on Hulu
Before Pauley Shore and Stephen {NAME} bro’d down in Bio-Dome, there was the Biosphere 2, a research facility that set out to prove that humans can make a self-sustaining ecosystem closed off from the outside world, the idea being a prototype for interplanetary colonization. The documentary Spaceship Earth follows the creation of the center and its use in 1991, focusing on its free-thinking inhabitants from San Francisco. The strange tale of these counter-culture and cult-like visionaries and theater addicts diving headlong into science became a media sensation and a prescient warning about climate change, and it's all documented with archival footage and interviews with those involved. Unsurprisingly, things don’t go as planned. It’s like the original Burning Man, dude!
THIS IS THE END (FOR NOW)
[The Flash](
[The Flash runs out of time](
Season 6 finale Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW
Though The Flash's spring finale doesn't technically serve as a season finale since there are plans to finish filming Season 6 when the COVID-19 restrictions on production lift, that doesn't mean we won't be getting a huge cliffhanger in tonight’s de facto finale. Showrunner Eric Wallace [explained that filming for the show shut down at a pretty perfect spot]( that will leave us with an epic cliffhanger. Considering Iris is still stuck in the Mirror Dimension, Eva's on the loose, and Barry's speed has almost run out entirely, we're more nervous than ever about what cliff we'll be left dangling from... and for how long. -Lindsay MacDonald
FINALLY SOME FINALITY
[For Life](
[For Life delivers something rare in TV this season… a real season finale](
Season 1 finale Tuesday at 10/9c on ABC
While The Flash and other shows deal with earlier-than-expected finales, that’s not the case with For Life, ABC’s able legal drama about a prisoner who learns law behind bars and defends himself and others, which entered the network’s schedule at midseason and wrapped production on its season in January. Tonight’s season finale has all the finality and set-up for a new season that you’re missing from most of the other shows on the air, as Aaron Wallace makes a final push in court for his retrial. It’s a rollercoaster of wins and losses, ending on a cliffhanger that puts its focus on what has made For Life one of broadcast’s best new shows: the strength and character of Wallace in the face of a justice system that has it out for him. It’s a proper finale that closes one chapter while opening the next.
