What’s On Tonight (Thursday): Another week, another HBO Max show gets highlighted

My somewhat reluctant Top Pick is the season finale of Peacemaker. I dunno, I’m just not the audience for this sort of thing, but really, what else is there for me to choose? One of these weeks I’ll make Good Morning America the top pick, just so I can learn more about who Tory Johnson is and how she got so good at picking out deals and steals.


Let’s see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Feb. 17. All times are EST.


STREAMING

Peacemaker, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Season finale. “It’s Cow or Never.” The ARGUS task force needs to kill the Cow that keeps the Butterflies alive so that Earth won't be invaded by aliens.


La Fortuna, 3:01 a.m., AMC+. Season finale. “Álex is about to get the treasure, but Wild causes as many obstacles as possible.”


Bel-Air, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. "Canvass." "The Banks family rallies around Uncle Phil to ramp up his campaign. Will's past starts to catch up with him, and he finds help in an unexpected place."


Star Trek: Discovery, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. "Rubicon." "Captain Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery race to stop Book and Ruon Tarka from launching a rogue plan that could inadvertently endanger the galaxy."

It's the "Drew's Crew to the Rescue Hour," with interior designer Mikel Welch giving a hurricane victim a new home office, hairstylist Chris Appleton helping a mother of three go back to the workforce with style, dating coach Damona Hoffman working with a pair of empty nesters to revive their relationship and author Pilar Valdes with a yummy, healthy dish to curb carb cravings. I was going to try to see Late Show with Stephen Colbert when I go to New York this April, but I kinda want to try seeing Drew's show, too.


Dr. Phil. "The Child Who Feels No Pain." He has a neurological condition, he's not necessarily a sociopath.
