This week's Notable Opening Night is Titanic, the musical that opened at the Lunt-Fontanne on April 23, 1997, about eight months before the unrelated movie. I'm feeling hella-tired, so I'll hopefully give an essay sometime this weekend. Thank you for understanding.

We’ve made it to the final four designers so the stakes for Episode 8—and which three will make it to the final runway—could not be higher at this point in the competition. This episode starts with a video homage to the work and career of Jeanne Becker. Designers are then invited, one-by-one, into the workroom where they get some seriously emotional sit-down time with Jeanne to discuss their journey, aesthetic and point-of-view, looks they’ve created so far, and hopes and dreams for the future. She then presents the next challenge: To create a legacy defining look to prove to the judges why they should have a place in the finale—with complete freedom in their design.
Tonight's Top Pick is the two-hour second season finale of Matlock. Because I just couldn't give it to either the fourth season finale of Animal Control or the second season finale of Going Dutch.

| The Greatest Average American |
Happy Earth Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 22!
Our Top Pick tonight is the season finale of The Greatest Average American (ABC, 9 p.m. / Hulu, Thursday). This game show hosted by Nate Bargatze didn't make any sort of splash in its freshman season, and ABC hasn't seemed to key on promoting it. All the questions and challenges are about the typical American life.
Elsewhere, the Sisters are back, Invincible can't stop the end of its season, Criminal Record still exists, Margo has a friend, Nova is the bomb, Shark Tank ends another season, Disney hangs with an Orangutan, Zach Galifianakis goes Gardening, Lainey Wilson gets documentary treatment, and Abbott goes to PECSA.

Tonight's Top Pick is the ninth season premiere of Bear Grylls Is Running Wild, airing at 9 p.m. on FOX. It's a reboot continuation of the show previously known as Running Wild With Bear Grylls. Same premise. Bear and a star -- in this case, Matthew McConaughey -- go out into the wilderness. They're in Norway.

Tonight's Top Pick is the fourth season of Sullivan's Crossing, premiering at 8 p.m. on The CW. Why do I have the feeling that right after this photo was taken, Chad Michael Murray busted out laughing?

I'm not paying attention to politics because I'm getting dolled up to go to Moulin Rouge. Not the real one. We went there a couple months ago. This time it's Broadway. Megan Thee Stallion is having another off day. I wouldn't be surprised if she showed up at curtain call with "Wet Ass Pussy" anyway.

| Marshals |
Get the good stuff! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 19!
Our Top Pick tonight is Marshals (CBS, 8 p.m. / Paramount+, Monday). This Yellowstone spinoff follows former SEAL-er and single dad and rancher Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) as he and a crew of U.S. Marshals protect Montana. I barely made it through one episode. This is a Taylor Sheridan show, after all.
Elsewhere, From returns from break, Krapopolis takes a pic, Hallmark still seeks the Way Home, Eva Longoria finds Provence and Bordeaux, Henry Winkler is Hazardous, Rooster seeks normalcy, and Watson helps a dictator.
