| The Freak Brothers |
Never mind, I'll find someone like you! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, November 14!
Tonight we welcome Tubi to the original programming game. After a few months of exclusive imports, original movies, and a docuseries, the free Fox Corporation streamer premieres its first original scripted series with the animated Freak Brothers (Tubi, 3 a.m.), which follows 3 brothers (Woody Harrelson, John Goodman, Pete Davidson) who love weed but slept for 50 years. There's also a sassy cat. Does it look good? No, but I'm a sucker for newcomers entering the already-large pool of places producing original content.
Elsewhere, Adele blesses us with a concert, the Mayor of Kingstown and his family fight for good, some Yellowjacket women can't let what happened in the forest stay in the forest, Martha Stewart judges the Table Wars, Joe Pera talks fridges, John Oliver signs off until February 2022, CNN finishes Diana's story, Woody Harrelson has his Enthusiasm Curbed, and 60 Minutes looks back at The Beatles bond.
