What's On Tonight (Thursday): Something to talk about

Today's Top Pick is The Jennifer Hudson Show, which premiered Monday in syndication. She's on KVRR, the FOX station in Fargo, at 2 p.m. WDAY, our ABC station, airs Tamron Hall. KVLY, the NBC station ("Valley News Live") airs The Kelly Clarkson Show. Interesting move there, having the official successor to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, at least distributor-wise, face off against the successor when it comes to an affiliate base.


Let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Sept. 15. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Mike, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. Season finale. "Cannibal" and "Phoenix." In the first episode, "Tyson examines the complicated events that led up to his fight with Evander Holyfield and the 'bite heard round the world.'" The last one presumably catches us up with the last 25 years. Two episodes available.

Harley Quinn, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Third season finale. "The Horse and The Sparrow."

The Good Fight, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. "The End of the Yips." "As Diane encounters her first 'therapy' session, she begins to see everything in a positive light."

Pantheon, 3:01 a.m., AMC+. "The Gods Will Not Be Chained."

Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+.

Star Trek: Lower Decks, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. "Room for Growth." "Mariner, Boimler and Tendi clash with their arch-rivals: Delta Shift. The Cerritos engineers go on mandatory relaxation leave."


TALKIN' 'BOUT TALK

The Kelly Clarkson Show, times and stations vary. Kelly continues her week in New York with Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ozuna, Angie Martinez and Sebastián Yatra. I'm not sure anyone's plugging anything. I just think they're there for a salute to NYC's diversity.

Dr. Phil, times and stations vary. "School Shooters: Is There a Solution?"
