| The Studio |
Ooh, girl, I really think it's just the matter of time! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 2!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Studio (Apple TV+, midnight). This new satire takes on Hollywood at the highest levels — studio heads. When longtime studio head Catherine O'Hara is pushed aside, Seth Rogen takes charge and must quickly find names for the blockbuster-not-art loving owner Bryan Cranston and his desire to make Kool-Aid a movie franchise. The opener was really good, and the series, co-created by Rogen, promises many cameos, which included not only Martin Scorsese but also Paul Dano, Charlize Theron, Steve Buscemi, and Nicholas Stoller, among others, in the opener.
Elsewhere, the Oklahoma City Bombing gets docuseries treatment, John Waters is Live, a Good marriage crumbles, Abbott hosts a car wash, Girls on Fire takes over the Fire station, the Conners get famous, and the murder of a dog show judge gets Wild.
