What's On Tonight (Thursday): Advanced Anatomy

 

Via Tumblr.

Tonight's Top Pick is the 20th season premiere of Grey's Anatomy, returning alongside 9-1-1 and Station 19. Once Elspeth returns for good in April, we'll have a few weeks of full scripted TV lineups on the Big Three.


While I reflect on how long it took to finally achieve this, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, March 14. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Apples Never Fall, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Premiere. "Based on Liane Moriarty's New York Times bestselling novel, Apples Never Fall centers on the seemingly picture-perfect Delaney family. Former tennis coaches Stan (Sam Neill) and Joy (Annette Bening) have sold their successful tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. While they look forward to spending time with their four adult children (Jake Lacy, Alison Brie, Conor Merrigan-Turner, Essie Randles), everything changes when a wounded young woman knocks on Joy and Stan's door, bringing the excitement they've been missing. But when Joy suddenly disappears, her children are forced to re-examine their parents' so-called perfect marriage as their family's darkest secrets begin to surface." Seven episodes available.

The Girls on the Bus, 3:01 a.m., Max. Premiere. "Sadie McCarthy (Melissa Benoist) (is) a journalist who romanticizes a bygone era of campaign reporting and scraps her whole life for a shot at covering a presidential candidate for a paper of record.
