What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Joe way out

Average Joe

Did I do that? Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 26!

Our Top Pick tonight is Average Joe (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). There were 3 years in between seasons 1 and 2 of this dark comedy. It also flipped from BET+ to Paramount+. Working man Joe (Deon Cole) finds out his deceased father stole $10 million from the Russian mafia. They are coming to collect and Joe wants to put down his claim on it. Things escalate quickly. This series is unrelated to the early '00s reality show and that Amy Acker movie.

Elsewhere, the '90s Totally live again on HGTV, the Last Sunrise approaches, Diarra does cat and mouse, the Shards are galvanized, a festival is Trying, Ted Lasso breaks up cliques, Reacher is always sunny, and Hugo Weaving goes to the Airport.

I want to be the girl with the most cake

He only loves those things because he loves to see them break

I fake it so real, I am beyond fake

And someday you will ache like I ache

@dollyparton Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old. Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact. At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

What's On Tonight (Saturday): Million dollar horsey

The Run for a Million

Mother Mary comes to me! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 26!

Our Top Pick tonight is The Run for a Million (CBS & Paramount+, 8 p.m.). This Taylor Sheridan sports event has a bunch of horse riders running a fancy obstacle course. The best one gets $1 million. This is in the top spot because of the continued lack of Saturday TV options. In my world, no sport would be allowed to use horses.

Elsewhere, the Babysitter starts a different kind of club, packages Find You, and Superman has Dinner.

Conan O'Brien Must Go

Today's Top Pick is the third season premiere of Conan O'Brien Must Go.  I know there are a lot of celebrity travel shows out there, but not many have someone as entertaining as Conan at the center.  I'm assuming he's entertaining anyway.  I've never watched it.

⭐🌍 Conan O'Brien Must Go (HBO, 9:00 PM) SEASON THREE PREMIERE. 'Features Conan O'Brien visiting India, the Netherlands, Morocco, and the Philippines to meet podcast fans and explore local cultures.'
