What's On Tonight (Thursday): Let the Buddy Games continue

Tonight's Top Pick is the second episode of Buddy Games, created, executive produced and hosted by Josh Duhamel. Putting aside my feelings that TV hosts just aren't as good as they once were, I'll say that Duhamel is rocking the aging bro daddy look like you wouldn't believe. I'd take seconds at that barbecue.


While I muse about how we're overdue for a spiritual successor to Knots Landing, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Sept. 21. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Love & Murder: Atlanta Playboy, 3:01 a.m., BET+. Premiere. "Lance (Taye Diggs), a successful Atlanta businessman, is renowned in equal measure for revolutionizing the city's 911 system and for his womanizing ways. When Lance is found murdered in his own home, questions and allegations abound as to who might have wanted him dead. An investigation into the murder is launched which reveals the truths and suspicions behind Lance's professional and personal life. Was it a business rival, threatened by Lance's bid for a big contract? Was it a scorned lover jealous of the place occupied in Lance's bed? The film, much like the book that inspired it, reconstructs Lance's life as told by its various players. Concludes next week.

Star Trek: Lower Decks, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. "Something Borrowed, Something Green." "Tendi is summoned back to Orion in order to attend a wedding."
