| Hollywood Black |
[*Seals barking*]! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, August 11!
Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Hollywood Black (MGM+, 10 p.m.). This 4-part docuseries from filmmaker Justin Simien (Dear White People) talks to some of Hollywood's top Black talent and tells how they navigated Tinseltown. And historical figures, too.
Elsewhere, SEAL Team is still a thing, (more surprisingly) Industry is still a thing, the Olympics call it a summer, America has its Godfathers, Jim Henson Idea Man goes linear, and Cops solve crop circles.
