What's On Tonight (Sunday): A vicar regeneration

Grantchester

Call your dad! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 16!

Our Top Pick tonight is the newest season of Grantchester (PBS & PBS Passport, 9 p.m.). The '60s are the new '50s as Grantchester enters a new decade and the vicar changes as Tom Brittney exits. Enter Rishi Nair who like the previous two vicars, will help the overworked DI Geordie Keating solve crimes. And us Americans are getting the season before the Brits. PBS! PBS! PBS!

Elsewhere, Dragon houses are about to go battle mode, we can live it up at the Hotel Cocaine, the T of the EGOT gives out awards for Broadway, D.I. Ray returns to duty, a Vampire needs a favor, PBS gives us the T, the Regulators shoot first, and Lazarus needs to find an old machine.

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