What's On Tonight (Sunday): After more than 2 decades, the Valerie Cherish Comeback is out
 |
| The Comeback |
My eyes! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, May 10!
Our Top Pick tonight is the series finale of The Comeback (HBO & HBO Max, 10:37 p.m.). After 21 years, 3 seasons, and [*checks notes*] 29 episodes, the uber-niche Lisa Kudrow comedy signs off for good (supposedly) with tonight's finale. Instead of battling reality programming demands, this season dealt with Valerie joins a sitcom entirely written by AI, and like every season, the casting is impressive. (I haven't seen the new season yet.)
Elsewhere, Hannah Waddingham was Live from New York, Bob rides a mattress, Euphoria is a piggy, Guy sleep walks, Marshals freezes, Rooster has finals, and Eva Longoria has a last chance to find France

What's On Tonight (Friday): Rock Me, Amadeus
 |
| Amadeus |
Today's Top Pick is the series premiere of the Showtime series Amadeus. The series is an adaptation of the original play, which was also adapted for the 1984 film. The play and film were around three hours long. The new series is five episodes. Not sure how that will work, but I'm a huge fan of the film, so I'm willing to chance it. If nothing else, it has Paul Bettany as Salieri. That's worth something.
If the something you're looking for is something more in keeping with Mother's Day, let me point you to Remarkably Bright Creatures on Netflix. Starring Sally Field, Bill Pullman's young clone, and Chief Miles O'Brien, the film is an adaptation of a popular book about a woman's unlikely relationship with an octopus, who appears to be the film's narrator. Don't worry about this turning into a Shape of Water situation. RBC appears to be going for wholesomeness over fish fucking.
Final premieres note: Lauren Holly stars in the Roku original comedy, Broad Trip. She still looks great. Steve Guttenberg is also in the film. He is unrecognizable. It also stars Sophia Bush. I don't know her. I assume she looks like Sophia Bush.
⭐🎵 Amadeus (Showtime, 9:00 PM) 'A bold adaptation of Peter Shaffer's 1979 award-winning play starring Will Sharpe as musical prodigy Wolfgang 'Amadeus' Mozart, and Paul Bettany as envious court composer Antonio Salieri, the spectacular five-part reimagination offers a symphony of genius, rivalry and vengeance as classical music's most fascinating relationship is explored.'

The TCM Classic Film Festival has officially ended for the year. This year's festival was loosely (as always) themed around "The World Comes to Hollywood." ... Look, I'm kind of struggling to say anything new here, so let's just get to the meat of the blog post, shall we?
Is it me, or are these graphics kinda bisexual?

Project Runway Canada, S3 E10: 'Finale Part 2'

Via Elle Canada:
In a tear filled final episode, all three final designers—Curtis, Charles and Leeland—presented their ten-look collections in front of an audience of friends, family, former contestants and a handful of industry insiders (including our very own editor-in-chief Joanna Fox and Greta Constantine designer Kirk Pickersgill). For this climactic runway, the judging panel was joined by Canadian designer Jason Wu for a full circle moment—he was also the guest judge on the first episode.
