I’ll bet you thought it was going to be Brooklyn Nine-Nine or Titans, right? Tonight’s Top Pick is the Yankees-White Sox Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa. Presented by Geico, the pregame starts at 6 p.m. EST, with the game at 7 p.m.. Kevin Costner and Dwier Brown are expected to attend.


Let’s see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Aug. 12. All times are EST.



STREAMING

The Ms. Pat Show, 3:01 a.m., BET+. Series premiere. Patricia Williams stars in an autobiographical multi-camera sitcom, produced by Brian Grazer and Lee Daniels, about “a former convicted felon turned suburban mom.” The first episode is directed by Debbie Allen!


Ex-rated, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Series premiere. “Hey, why’d you dump me? Please explain why with this survey. … What do you mean, ‘Because of this shit’?” Hosted and executive produced by Andy Cohen. Eight episodes available.


FBoy Island, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Season finale. More trashy heterosexual shit. Three episodes available.


The Hype, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Series premiere. “A competition series set in the colliding worlds of streetwear, business and culture where fashion visionaries must elevate their designs and entrepreneurial sense to avoid elimination while remaining authentic to their style. The series features 10 streetwear professionals who will compete in challenges to prove they can walk the walk and deliver the product.”


Well Done With Sebastian Maniscalco, 3:01 a.m., Discovery+. Series premiere. The comedian “takes a deep dive into the gastronomic world from every angle,” with topics including “the similarities between sushi and comedy” and “throwing a meat-centric dinner party.” Three episodes available.
