What's On Tonight (Sunday): Home sweet home

Raven's Home

[*phone rings*]! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, August 13!

Our Top Pick tonight is the family sitcom Raven's Home (Disney Channel, 8 p.m.). This follow-up series to the teen sitcom That's So Raven has now aired longer than the original. Though it was given a heavy facelift last season by dropping much of its cast and moving its setting. I wonder if that qualifies it as a reboot -- which Disney likes to do so it can be classified as a new show and continue to underpay the young cast. I don't like the show, but I admire Raven-Symoné's meticulous command of the physical comedy.

Elsewhere, HBO exposes TelemarketersBillions is back with political ambitions, the Lioness might not be safe, Domina hears from Germany, The Real Housewives shall Feud, Pat Riley and Jerry West hope for a Winning trade.
