What's On Tonight (Sunday): Mending Broken pets

HouseBroken

The lion sleeps tonight! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 23!

Our Top Pick tonight is the animated comedy HouseBroken (Fox, 9 & 9:30 p.m. / Hulu, Monday). The poodle Honey (Lisa Kudrow) acts as therapist to many other neighborhood pets and critters. The gang goes has a sitcomy life of chaos and dilemmas. It has an intriguing premise yet doesn't quite know how to break away from standard sitcom-fare to become something special — at least in the season 1 episodes that I watched. The voice cast is top-tier: Clea DuVall, Tony Hale, Nat Faxon, Will Forte, Sharon Horgan, Jason Mantzoukas, and Sam Richardson. Recur-ers include Maria Bamford and Brian Tyree Henry.

Elsewhere, the Lioness awakes tonight, Lazarus is trapped in a season finale, Bunk'd returns, Raven likes The Weeknd, Domina wants forgiveness, former Goldbergs build a PyramidDI Ray suspects high crimes, and History gives Mega-Brands their own show.

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