What's On Tonight (Thursday): Sofía Vergara Wants an Emmy

 

Via Tenor.

Tonight's Top Pick is the premiere of Griselda, starring Sofía Vergara. Obviously, she didn't embark on the project just for awards recognition, but also consider that she didn't get an Emmy for Modern Family ...


While I complete my screenplay about an Irish-American meth kingpin (this'll give you a win, Jesse!), let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Jan. 25. All times are EST.

Lauren collaborates with a diverse crew of NPR staff. They are also puppets and nimrods." Animated series, six episodes available.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution, 3:01 a.m., Netflix. Premiere. "The newly mechanized Skeletor (voice of Mark Hamill), armed with the might of Motherboard (voice of Meg Foster), attacks the heart of Eternia while Prince Adam (voice of Chris Wood) grapples with a new responsibility and what that means for him as He-Man! Adam is forced to choose between the scepter or the sword, and a life as either the King or the Champion! Meanwhile, the new Sorceress Teela (voice of Melissa Benoist) searches for the secret of Snake Magic in the mists of Darksmoke to rebuild a magic realm and help He-Man hold off the greatest threat Eternia has ever faced: the return of the despot Hordak, the ruthless leader of the Horde Empire!"
