Tonight's Top Pick is Vote 2026, PBS' coverage of Election Night, which starts at 7 p.m. Eastern. You know me, I like to have at least one designated "program" when it comes to coverage.

What's On Tonight (Monday): Saluting the Not-So Sexy
Courtesy NBC.
Tonight's Top Pick is the third season premiere of St. Denis Medical, entitled "He Ain't Noah Wyle." The title is obviously in tribute to The Pitt, but it's now quite relevant thanks to Noah getting People's "Sexiest Man Alive" honor.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): Sweet bird of Youth

| Youth |
Fall back! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, November 1!
Our Top Pick tonight is the finale of Youth (HBO & HBO Max, 10 p.m.). This Sharon Horgan-created-written-and-starring series finds 50-something literary agent Alex (Horgan) seeking love after a 4-year dry spell since her divorce and her kid off to college. Of course things don't go as planned, and Alex takes a long look at love and aging. I find the show to be a delight.
Elsewhere, a Hostage is freed, the hats of Gilded Age return, Tracker tracks, Animal Control does pig parenting, OJ had an Accomplice, and a Golden Glove is awarded.

What's On Tonight (Friday): Revisit a Time of Television Enthusiasts...
 |
| SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of |
Today's Top Pick is the documentary SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of . The documentary can be found on Netflix, which also recently started streaming the entire series. I assume the only people who never heard of SCTV are either in a much older or much younger demo than I fall into. I didn't watch the series when it first ran but I knew of it.
⭐🎥 SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of (Netflix, 3:01 AM) 'Chronicles the rise, fall, and enduring legacy of one of the most influential sketch comedy series in television history. Through intimate interviews with surviving members of its legendary cast and an emotional reunion in Toronto, the film explores the creative partnership that transformed a small Canadian television production into a cultural phenomenon that launched some of comedy's most celebrated icons.'

Too much death. Go figure. Of all things I've got baseball to give me hope. One of our best friends and new widower is over. I need to respond to another friend whose dead brother was a best friend. The live brother asked me last year about a friend to write about for World AIDS Day. This year he wants to know about one of my best best friends. I don't know if I can do it. Jay deserves so much more than I can offer. He lived a larger life than I. There are very few people that can claim that. Thank God for baseball.
Jay happened to be the original Columbia at the Oriental Theater in Milwaukee. Bright, colorful, full of life, and bound to be disappointed.
