What's On Tonight (Sunday): This Land is Man land

Landman

Buy 'em drinks, meet their mommas, milk 'em hard, Rawhide! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, November 24!

Our Top Pick tonight is Landman (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). Can no one save us from a Taylor Sheridan takeover? This latest series is based on Christian Wallace's Boomtown podcast about the 21st century oil boom in Texas. The show stars Billy Bob Thornton as landman Tommy Norris, who works a deal between an oil company and a cartel for various rights. Things go sideways. There's oil man Jon Hamm and wife Demi Moore, oil worker Michael PeΓ±a, sheriff Mark Collie, and Tommy's ex Ali Larter. Plus more family. If you know Sheridan's work you know the conflicts and tropes at work.

Elsewhere, viewers get shocked from From, Tracker tracks a dog, feelings must be Equalized, Treehouse of Horror appears in November, Fuse profiles things that've been Discontinued, The Franchise wraps production, Ruby never stops worrying about that Well, and Nat Geo is in a Race Against Time.
