Happy Mother's Day to the moms out there! Don't forget to call mom. Tonight, the attention turns to the first BYUtv show to get the WOT spotlight: Dwight in Shining Armor. The dramedy follows the nerdy and not-macho teenager Dwight, who accidentally becomes a guardian and knight when wakes up a gothic princess and the surrounding kingdom from a slumber. Somehow all these people who were here several hundreds of years ago mesh with modern society. (Don't think about it Amadeus3000. You'll get one of those Dwight headaches again.) The princess and her court magician Baldric, bring with them magic and the supernatural, which frequently threatens the princess. This week marks the start of the four-part "Movie" arc, which likely lets lose a story that's been percolating since last season and bring the current one to a close. While the show can be overly juvenile and twee, the cast has a real chemistry, especially the two leads. Elsewhere, Fox's Animation Domination serves up some Mother's Day smooches as do the latest Saturday Night Live compilation and Comedy Central special. And mom-show Outlander wraps season five(!). Then there's 60 Minutes and Vice keeping you up to date on the latest COVID-19 news, Villanelle goes to Russia, Mark Ruffalo plays twins for HBO, Adult Swim rolls out some new programs, Hush terrorizes Gotham, Supergirl faces Leviathan, and a 19th batch of Worst Cooks are put in a pot. My momma always said, "Peak TV is like a box of chocolates. You never know the quality you're gonna get." So here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, May 10!

STREAMING / EARLY PRIMETIME

60 Minutes (CBS, 7 p.m.): Tonight, stories about: the impact of politics on finding a vaccine for COVID-19, Amazon employees claiming their workplace is unsafe, and virtually untraceable guns made at home using legally purchased parts.

Change of Heart 🎥 (UPtv, 7 p.m.): Straitlaced Diane finds herself stranded at a delightful bed and breakfast where the friendly owner is keen on playing matchmaker for Diane and her handsome son.

The Disney Family Singalong, Volume II (ABC, 7 p.m.): Gag.

The Facts of Life 📺 (Antenna TV, 6 p.m.): Spend your Mother's Day with Mrs. Garrett with a Facts of Life marathon. In the season five premiere, as Blair and Jo enter Langley college, Mrs. Garrett decides to quit her job at Eastland.✔️

The Facts of Life (via Tumblr)

🕗 EASTERN / 🕖 CENTRAL

Batwoman (The CW, 8 p.m.): When members of Gotham's intelligentsia begin disappearing, Cmdr. Kane, Sophie, and the Crows go searching for the newest homicidal threat to the city. Kate starts questioning the loyalty of everyone around her just when she needs them most. Dammit, Kate, this is Hush! All hands on deck!

CBS Sunday Night Movies: Forrest Gump 🎥 (CBS, 8 p.m.): In this Academy Award-winning movie, Tom Hanks tells people about his life while sitting on a park bench.✔️

Call the Midwife (PBS, 8 p.m.): The team celebrates the arrival of the long-awaited incubator; a patient with a troubled home life needs emotional and medical support. Nurse Crane struggles with the cubs.

Columbo 📺 (MeTV, 8 p.m.): Psychiatrist George Hamilton romances wealthy patient Lesley Ann Warren then uses her in his alibi after killing her husband, Stephen Elliott.

Duncanville (Fox, 8:30 p.m.): Annie feels underappreciated on Mother's Day and adopts Duncan's friend, who seems to care more about her than her own kids. Jack tries to make amends by finding a rare flower for Annie.

⭐ Dwight in Shining Armor (BYUtv, 8:30 p.m.): He's back! Sir Aldred, a centuries old evil wizard who wants to end Princess Gretta's bloodline, ambushes the court magician Baldric and witch Hexela and steals the most dangerous thing he could. This is surely going to bring the long-running Tovenar subplot into the main fold, which is introducing a more sinister evil. I don't expect big things from the show. It's uber-family-friendly (this is the conservative BYUtv after all, not some commercial network) and frequently aims for comic relief, but sometimes the mythology and cast chemistry (especially the leads Sloane Morgan Siegel and Caitlin Carmichael) really win me over. Dwight is the epitome of Generation Z -- in a good way. The show has also expanded scope this season, adding some school friends and recurring characters. Then again, the show hasn't quite hit the consistent highs that it did that first season. All episodes are available for free on the network's website.

Outlander (Starz, 8 p.m.): FINALE. Claire struggles to survive brutal treatment from her captors, as Jamie gathers a group of loyal men to help him rescue his wife. Roger and Brianna's journey takes a surprising turn. The show has already been renewed for a sixth season.

The Simpsons (Fox, 8 p.m.): Lisa makes a new friend who loves horses, but then becomes part of a circle of snooty young rich girls. But are they Equestranauts? Homer takes Marge on a romantic cruise. Oh, that sounds great in May 2020.

Vice (Showtime, 8 p.m.): Today we follow front-line healthcare workers as they take on the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis, and the nuclear legacy of the United States' atomic weapons testing in the Marshall Islands and the negative impacts on its people.

Wonder 🎥 (Freeform, 8:40 p.m.): In this pretty good Academy Award-nominated movie, Auggie Pullman, who was bwith facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade.
