What's On Tonight (Sunday): The Towers, the Towers! Rapunzel, Rapunzel!

Malory Towers

Happy Labor Day's Eve! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, September 4!

Our Top Pick tonight is the drama for the youths, Malory Towers (BYUtv, 7:30 p.m.). It's been a while since I pulled the BYUtv card! Set in post-WWII Britain, the imported drama is based on the Enid Blyton book series but creates its own path to have diversity in its cast and setting. It follows young Darrell Rivers (Ella Bright) as she goes to the all-girls' boarding school.

Elsewhere, Rick and Morty return, John McEnroe tells his story (without Devi), a John Doe is among the Walking Dead, Ann Boleyn is hot, Chesapeake has a pill addiction, the Roman Empire falls, and The Chi concludes season 5.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
