| Smiling Friends |
Will no one stop Taylor Sheridan?! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, October 19!
Our Top Pick tonight is Smiling Friends (Adult Swim, 11:30 p.m. / HBO Max, Monday). This animated comedy tracks the surreal misadventures of four employees of a small charity. I haven't sampled the show since the pilot (currently in its third season), but there is a substantial amount of praise for the show, created by Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack, especially the animation, which also includes computer animation, rotoscoping and stop motion, among others.
Elsewhere, the Simpsons make their annual trip to the treehouse, Task handles the final task, CBS hits the Road, Tracker tracks his family tracks, Malory finds that darn time capsule, Daryl Dixon protects people, music is the NOLA Soul, and Adult Swim welcomes You Clowns.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
