What's On Tonight (Friday): This House is Not Clean

Haunted Hotel

There were a lot of contenders for Top Pick today.  Apple has Matchbox the Movie, which appears to have very little to do with Matchbox cars other than the main characters played with them when they were kids.  Netflix has the Ben Affleck directed political/kidnapping thriller Animals.  Paramount has the premiere of the latest Avatar: The Last Airbender spinoff, Avatar: Seven Havens.  We also have the return of the entire CBS Friday night line up plus the streaming premieres of Disclosure Day, Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger and V/H/S/Mixtape.  What is the selector of today's Top Pick to do?  

I'll tell you what he does, he bestows Top Pick upon the second season of Haunted Hotel because he knows he'll actually watch it and probably be done before the end of the weekend.  I watched the first season, and though I didn't love it, I liked it enough to keep with it and it got better as the season went along.  Also, it's nice when Netflix actually produces a series where the seasons are released only one year apart the way God intended.

⭐👻 Haunted Hotel (Netflix, 3:01 AM) SEASON TWO. ' Katherine and her family find their groove as more paranormal problems come looking for vacancies. But can a haunted hotel ever really feel like home?'

Tonight's Top Pick is the series premiere of Eternally Yours, airing at 8:30 p.m. on CBS. I'm meh on the concept -- your potential in-laws are vampires -- but I'm applauding Helen J. Shen (Maybe Happy Ending) getting a shot at TV fame. Hurray for the Broadway-Hollywood exchange still existing in some form.

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): The Carrie diaries

Carrie

Martin Mull takes over the fire station! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, October 7!

Our Top Pick tonight is latest remake/retelling of Carrie (Amazon Prime Video, 3 a.m.). This time a limited series, the Stephen King-authored story is updated to the present day and with Summer H. Howell as the title character. I can appreciate expanded the story to miniseries form, but... 8 episodes? Yet the early reviews are positive. Maybe it'll be better than other attempts -- the sequel, the pilot movie, and theatrical remake.

Elsewhere, Martin Mull gets documentary treatment, Abbott Elementary is in session, Chicago is One again, Last Seen is seen, Jamie Foxx aims for funny, our Slow Horses are finally the target, Ted Lasso has change, and Nova talks about satellite management.

If I knew that this was happening in Milwaukee I might have done something rash. Trump scum think they can talk trash about Harley-Davidson in Milwaukee. That's a firm red line. And you would think that even dumb ass Sean Duffy would know to keep his mouth shut. Nope. He doubled down on blaming Canada for dairy tariffs. The first time Trump put dairy tariffs on Canada Wisconsin took a huge hit. That was a US Representative from northern Wisconsin, by way of MTV's Road Rules. He was a dumbass then. He's a corrupt dumbass now. [WISN]

Saturday Night Live: Dakota Johnson & Turnstile (S52E2)

Dakota Johnson & Turnstile

Show #1010

Actress Dakota Johnson returns for a third hosting gig as her latest film Verity hits theaters. Her mom hosted in 1988, and I was surprised that her dad never hosted.

5-member rock band Turnstile makes their SNL debut. The group, which was formed in 2010, hails from Baltimore.
