What’s On Tonight (Thursday): Brought to you by the letters W, O and T

 

via Giphy

Our top pick is the 52nd season premiere of Sesame Street, which returns at 3:01 a.m. on HBO Max. I don’t think I ever actually watched Sesame Street as a boy. I knew of it and I know that I watched at least a few episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and many Muppet Show reruns, but somehow, Sesame Street just wasn’t part of my childhood.


Let’s see what else TV has to offer theoretically well-rounded viewers on Thursday, Nov. 11. All times are EST.


STREAMING

3212 Un-Redacted, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. An ABC News documentary. “Unraveling the truth behind the deaths of four U.S. Special Forces soldiers in Africa leads to evidence of a coverup at the highest levels of the Army.”


The Problem with Jon Stewart, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. “Guns.”


Madagascar: A Little Wild, 12:01 a.m., Hulu/3:01 a.m., Peacock. Fifth season premiere.


Sesame Street, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Fifty-second season premiere.


My Sesame Street Friends, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Fifth season premiere.


Love Life, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Second season finale. Conclusion of Anna Kendrick’s romantic comedy anthology. Three episodes available.


Paris In Love, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Premiere. I’ll just reiterate what I told my brother. “I’ll decide to respect Paris Hilton when I’m good and ready, thank you.”


Ragdoll, 3:01 a.m., AMC+. Premiere. Six people have been murdered, dismembered and sewn into the shape of one grotesque body — nicknamed the 'Ragdoll.' … A gruesomely imaginative serial killer thriller, Ragdoll captures the fascinating but flawed friends struggling with the consequences of institutionalization and trauma.”


The Game, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. Premiere. Revival of a series I’ve never heard of about pro football. Hey, we’ve got Tim Daly as the new team owner. “Relocating from San Diego to Sin City, (there’s) a modern-day examination of Black culture through the prism of pro football. The team will tackle racism, sexism, classism and more as they fight for fame, fortune, respect and love — all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play The Game.” Two episodes available.

Reign of Superwomen, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Because I guess it didn’t actually premiere in October.
