| Women Wearing Shoulder Pads |
No way! Not even with cleavage! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, August 24!
Our Top Pick tonight is Women Wearing Shoulder Pads (Adult Swim, midnight / HBO Max, Monday). This stop-motion animation mix is a wonderful fit to Adult Swim with its pulling from telenovelas in a story about a wealthy Spanish woman. Love, money, deceit, family, guinea pigs, commercials... everything you'd expect from a telenovela. Hit or miss, this is a swing I greatly appreciate Adult Swim for taking.
Elsewhere, The Weather Channel and CNN look back at Hurricane Katrina, the Murder Club is back in session, Naomi Osaka readies for Set two, the battle of the Institute begins, Professor T preps for a new class, Catchy Comedy unearths a dreaded TV continuation, the Yogurt Shop is shook, and the Chicken's dad returns.
