What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Life will find a way
 |
| Eons: Life and Death on Pangea |
Why is no one ready! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 26!
Our Top Pick tonight is Eons: Life and Death on Pangea (PBS App & PBS.org & YouTube, 2 p.m.). This new docuseries comes from PBS Digital Studios, an arm that might not be familiar to many but is one of the booming places in PBS' portfolio. Eons presents short-form episodes on the history of life on Earth. Now, the team has produced a 6-episode TV show. It premieres across PBS' platforms in the afternoon and will air in the evenings tonight and future evenings on some PBS stations. Don't expect the glitz and glam of a BBC Natural History Unit show, but the 4 rotating hosts are highly engaging.
Elsewhere, Proud Family signs off, Diarra is back, The Ark is still a show, the X-Men face a ghost, Ben Affleck gives his final answer, Stassi Schroeder returns to TV, and Lucky was betrayed.

Tonight's Top Pick is Furious, debuting at 12 a.m. on Hulu. Starring Emmy Rossum and Lola Petticrew, it's apparently inspired by 1987's Debra Winger-Theresa Russell film Black Widow, which I've never seen.

A man was murdered by ICE in Houston because ICE suspected he had meth in his work van. Prosecutors tested and there was no meth. The man was a Mexican citizen but lived here with no incident for 35 years. The substance was most likely table salt for a homemade electrolyte to fight against the heat wave. ICE agents may be charged. [CBS]

What's On Tonight (Sunday): All the President's people

| President Curtis |
Shark! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 26!
Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of President Curtis (Adult Swim, 11:30 p.m. / HBO Max, Monday). It took 13 years, but there's finally a full fledged Rick and Morty spinoff -- that terrible anime doesn't count. This show follows the adventures of President Curtis (Keith David) as he deals with conflicts Rick avoids. Joining him are his chief of staff (Stephanie Beatriz) and a special agent (Jim Rash). Unlike the parent show, this one will be next-day on HBO Max.
Elsewhere, Maggie and Negan are still Dead, the Westies are still fighting over cocaine, sharks are hunted by K-Pop as Shark Week 2026 begins, the Great Food Truck Race is revved up again, John Oliver is back from hiatus, and Anderson Cooper talks to Ben Sasse.

What's On Tonight (Saturday): Built to Last
 |
| Aang: The Last Airbender |
Get over here! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, July 25!
Our Top Pick tonight is Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). This follow-up movie to the much beloved TV show takes place 13 years after the series wrapped and the peace that's been found is threatened. Not much of the original voice actors return, and this movie skipped a planned (and delayed) theatrical release. But it did a mini-theatrical run for Oscar qualification. Reviews have been quite positive.
Elsewhere, the WNBA brings out its all-stars, Mistletoe is all over, a Girl is in a Coffin, the Super gang plays games, and One Piece needs an antidote.
