These shows can help you understand what is happening in America right now

These documentaries and series are essential highlights of racial injustice. Plus: A pair of food shows cover both quarantine and escapist fare, and one of alt-comedy’s all-time greats arrives on streaming. Hello! It’s hard to find the words to express the complicated emotions all of us are feeling right now, but one common sentiment aimed at moving forward shared by many is simple and a great place to start: How can I help? Educating yourself on the historic racial inequities in America and finding compassion and empathy for those who have been afflicted by it is the foundation for taking action toward change. TV Guide’s Malcolm Venable put together a [wonderful list of shows and documentaries that educate their viewers about police brutality and racial injustice]( including Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us and John Ridley’s Let It Fall: Los Angeles 1982-1992. It’s a difficult but essential ask to take the time to learn other perspectives, but real change doesn’t happen without it. Please be safe, rational, and compassionate out there. Here are tonight’s TV picks. –Tim [Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!]( WATCH THIS NOW! [Somebody Feed Phil]( [For the love of God, Somebody Feed Phil!]( Season 3 now on Netflix The charm of Somebody Feed Phil, one of my favorite travel/food shows, is that host Phil Rosenthal, a co-creator of Everybody Loves Raymond, is very aware that he has no business hosting a food and travel show. While well-known food show hosts David Chang and even Jon Favreau have some sort of connection to the kitchen, Phil is just a nice guy who travels around the world to experience different cuisines, cultures, and people with the type of enthusiasm and curiosity of an alien on Earth for the first time. In a sense, that infectious passion makes him more qualified for the job than anyone, but what seals the deal is the face Phil makes when he’s tried something he likes. It’s like a cartoon cat that just ate the most delicious canary. This season, he heads to Marrakesh, Seoul, Chicago, and more.

Food Network threw that worry out the window when it gave Amy Schumer her own quarantine cooking show, and it turned out to be the best decision it could have made. Amy Schumer Learns to Cook is pure DIY TV, as Schumer gets cooking lessons from her husband/chef Chris Fischer while her nanny and dog film with handheld cameras. The mantra is “work with what you got” as the two prepare tacos and other simple dishes with whatever ingredients they can muster up, while Amy puts her focus on the cocktail of the day. Schumer is a polarizing comedian, but here she’s just a gal learning how to pit an avocado. This is for anyone who’s still too afraid of their kitchen. CREEP ON WATERFALLS [Iconic: TLC]( [Don’t be a scrub, watch Iconic: TLC]( Monday at 8/7c on The CW This CW series is a twist on the singing competition show, featuring contestants who sing songs from a single artist’s repertoire, in this case, the early-’90s R&B group TLC. The bonus? The judges are actual members of TLC, who watch the contestants perform -- through video chat -- and pick a winner to collaborate with. It’s just a special, so after this episode, it’s done. MORE SCRUBS [Childrens Hospital]( [Childrens Hospital delivers 50ccs of laughs, STAT]( Full series now on Hulu If laughter is the best medicine, then no patient featured in the medical spoof Childrens Hospital should ever die. Except the doctors are all so unprofessional that it’s amazing anyone leaves the place alive. The series, which ran from 2008 to 2016 on TheWB.com and Adult Swim, comes from Rob Corddry and David Wain, and all seven seasons are now on Hulu. The cast is spectacular — Corddry, Ken Marino, Rob Heubel, Erinn Hayes, Lake Bell, Malin Akerman, Megan Mullally, and Henry Winkler — and the situations are ridiculous, making it one of TV’s funniest and silliest shows as it parodies every single medical drama out there. The spin-off Medical Police, starring Hayes and Heubel, hit Netflix last year and is also worth a look. And for all you alt-com fans out there, you have until tomorrow midnight to watch the great Comedy Bang Bang! on Netflix, as it’s leaving the service.
