| Moonbase 8 |
Hola! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, December 6!
The Top Pick is Showtime's low-key, offbeat comedy Moonbase 8 about wanna-be big shot astronauts John C. Reilly, Tim Heidecker, and Fred Armisen working on training simulators in Arizona, hoping to be the next NASA person who goes to space. From what I've seen, it's good and has some solid moments. It wraps up its season tonight with a double episode.
Elsewhere, the Gallaghers are back, judge Bryan Cranston must hide a dark family secret, Ghost has returned, Ronald Reagan struggles with Iran-Contra, Euphoria does Christmas, Dolly sings Christmas songs, and Lazor Wulf reemerges.
60 Minutes (CBS, 7:30 p.m.): Inexperienced companies jump to fill the demand for medical supplies during the pandemic... Colleges go to extraordinary lengths to keep revenue-producing sports on TV during the pandemic, while cutting others... profile of actress Viola Davis.
