What's On Tonight (Sunday): Miss fights America

Alex vs America

Won't you be my neighbor? Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, August 4!

Our Top Pick tonight is Alex vs America (Food Network & Max... and Discovery+ later). Hosted by Eric Adjepong, this cooking competition show pits competitive cooking extraordinaire Alex Guarnaschelli against 3 chefs from across the country in a 2-round showdown where anyone, even Alex, can go home. It is one of Food Network's better options. Or at least better than the rest of the network's slate.

Elsewhere, the Mayor is at the end of a term, Miss USA is crowned, Dragons fight for the crown, Miami has coke, Snowpiercer has a new mayor, Orphan Black finds another printout, and Olympians want medals.

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