| Garage Sale Mysteries |
Atta boy, Luther! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 19!
Our Top Pick tonight is the return of Garage Sale Mysteries (Hallmark Channel, 8 p.m. / Hallmark+, Sunday). It's been more than 7 years since Lori Laughlin was dropped by Hallmark after the college admissions bribery scandal. Her Garage Sale Mysteries series ceased... until tonight. The mystery drama follows antiquer Jennifer Shannon as she solves murders. In all my years going to garage sales, I've yet to find murder.
Elsewhere, Billy Strings goes to the Limits, many balls are footed, Lifetime deals with an Ocean, Kara Swisher has News, and iHeartRadio is live.
Here are today's contestants:
- Michael Mott, a software engineering manager from Owens Cross Roads, Alabama;
- Holly Firlein, an attorney originally from Newark, Delaware; and
- Mark Ramirez, an executive communications lead from Northglenn, Colorado. Mark is a one-day champ with winnings of $20,800.

It is a traditional Mexican dish, created by the Aztecs 500 years ago.
They would mash avocados with tomatoes, wild chiles and salt, using a mortar and pestle called molcajete.
It's also Mexico's Independence Day today, and I found "the most patriotic dish of the celebration" is Chiles en Nogada.

Someone needs to invite me to a formal event. Nothing since before COVID. I'm running out of space to put things that I want to wear.
I'm focusing on first world problems because all the other problems, personal or worldly seem unsolvable at the moment. It doesn't mean that they are. Distraction can be nice.

| Neagley |
Surrounded by losers, misfits and boozers! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, September 16!
Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Neagley (Amazon Prime Video, 3 a.m.). This Reacher spinoff follows Neagley (Maria Sten) as she finds out why a childhood friend is dead. It turns out to be a tangled web where hunters can become the hunted. Or something.
Elsewhere, Golden Axe is resurrected as a comedy, we're goin' down to South Park, the Slow Horses are on a new mission, Reacher finally reaches, PBS grabs some Ice, Route 187 has questions, a Chef becomes a Master, women can Dance, and Ian Ziering holds a Road Rally.
Here are today's contestants:
- Wesley Jalipa, a legal assistant originally from Columbia, Missouri;
- Abby Mullen, a professor originally from Greenville, South Carolina; and
- Matthew Riggle, a community college math instructor from Madison, Alabama. Matthew is a three-day champ with winnings of $72,401.
Tonight's Top Pick is the first part of Dancing with the Stars' thirty-fifth season premiere. I'd snark, but I do watch the show every week, and am already starting to figure out who I'll vote for each week.
