| School Spirits |
They're no Superman! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, February 25!
Our Top Pick tonight is School Spirits (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). This supernatural drama set in Split River, Wisconsin, is in its third season. The synopsis for the show began with Maddie (Peyton List) adjusting to high school in the afterlife while also investigating her own disappearance. She couldn't leave the school grounds, too. The show has evolved from there, but I'm not up on recent seasons. I enjoyed what I saw, and it's nice to see Peyton List find a decent vehicle.
Elsewhere, Scrubs lives, Survivor begins the big five-O.Nate Bargatze seeks the Average Greatest, NatGeo goes Inside the CIA, Shrinking unites over love, Lost Women of Alaska returns, Priyanka Chopra Jonas fights some bucs, and Nova goes to Gobekli Tepe.
Here are today's contestants:
- Christa Fidel, a musician from Wellington, Florida;
- James Hirsh, a lawyer from Toronto, Ontario; and
- Trey Hart, a grant writer from Petaluma, California. Trey is a two-day champ with winnings of $34,300.

Tonight's Top Pick is the 12th season finale of Vanderpump Rules. Because I'll be damned if I'm giving it to the State of the Union.
Here are today's contestants as regular play resumes:
- Katie Pach, a marketing coordinator from Chicago, Illinois;
- Zach Johnson-Dunlop, a lighting technician originally from St. Charles, Illinois; and

Last week's Notable Opening Night was Feb. 19, 1978, when On the Twentieth Century opened at the St. James. People often talk about the productions they'd love to have seen, and that one's high on my list.
Tonight's Top Pick is the timeslot premiere of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. Dinkins is scheduled through Monday, April 13, and after that, who knows? I'm just not sure this is a premise that can last past a single season, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

| American Dad! |
Welcome, welcome welcome! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, February 22!
Our Top Pick tonight is American Dad! (Fox, 9 p.m. / Hulu, Monday). Because you can't kill these now-legacy animated shows, American Dad! returns to Fox, the network that axed it back in 2014. It also begins its 22nd season. I guess there are still people who find it funny.
Elsewhere, Alan Cumming loves hosting awards season, global sportsballs wraps, Anderson Cooper exits 60 Minutes, Dark Winds seeks the missing, Scream plays Squares, Mike Wolfe Picks history, silent film Calls the Heart, Family Guy is addicted to PSLs, the Knight determines his future, and Vanished is found.
Welcome to the Weekend in Pop Culture! Let's examine what's coming out in theaters this weekend.

You know how sometimes, a title can describe a movie really well?
How to Make a Killing
An American redo of "Kind Hearts and Coronets," just in case you needed one.
I Can Only Imagine 2
A sequel to a Christian "blockbuster."

A policewoman is on the hunt for a murderer. I hate people when they're not polite.
