What's On Tonight (Monday): This night's a trainwreck

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is 9-1-1: Lone Star, continuing its three-episode season-opener. I think I've had my epiphany about Rob Lowe. For years, without my noticing, he's been the successor to William Shatner.

While I wonder who will carry on the tradition of unique but committed acting amid absolute absurdity, let's see what else TV has to offer for Monday, Sept. 30. All times are EST.


STREAMING

Patrice: The Movie, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. Special presentation. "Patrice Jetter has finally found the love of her life, Garry Wickham, who is also disabled. They want nothing more than to get married, but if they do - or even if they just move in together - the government benefits they need to survive would be cut. Despite the scrutiny they're under, they decide to plan a commitment ceremony that could risk their entire future."

Futurama, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. 12th season finale. "Otherwise." "When Fry proposes to Leela, he is overcome by a near-fatal attack of déjà vu."

After, "The Internet’s Divided," more with Kate McKinnon, "Hair How-To’s," and "How to Build a Fashion Icon."

Tamron Hall, times and stations vary. "The Shaming of Single Women: Defying the stigma that surrounds singleness, we show why flying solo can be something to celebrate. First, award-winning actress Vivica A. Fox, star of the new movie The Lost Holliday, talks about sparking headlines after she joked that she was 'taking applications' for dates. Then, Tam Fam hears from women who are destigmatizing singlehood. Plus, we sit down with a young couple who are celebrating their child-free lifestyle."
