Fall's biggest party: The Emmys celebrate television's best
Colin Jost and Michael Che co-host the 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards
Fall is nearly here, and that means it's time for cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice everything and the new prime-time television season. After a summer of repeats, it's finally time for our returning favorites and a new crop of aspiring series.
The Good Place, on NBC
Eleanor (Kristen Bell) uncovers a secret while Michael (Ted Danson) tries to work out the kinks in his grand plan in this rebroadcast. The comedy follows a recently deceased woman who’s accidentally sent to the wrong place in the afterlife.
Q: What is happening with Vanessa Helsing? We were with her sister and mother the last couple episodes with no clues on her status after getting shot. When will we see her again?
The prophecies say that Vanessa Helsing will rise again, sometime in the fall TV season (the prophecies are pretty light on details).
We can take the prophecies at their word, because they come from the show's writers as well as from Kelly Overton, also known as Vanessa Helsing herself.
The Real Housewives of Dallas, on Bravo
D’Andra and Mama Dee engage in a power struggle over the family business in the new season. Also, Stephanie and LeeAnne bond over their shared battle with depression, while Carey returns to work.
Mayans M.C., on FX
When the Galindo worlds north and south of the border collide, the Mayans approach a local crew in search of answers in this new episode. EZ Reyes (JD Pardo) tries to carve out a new life for himself after being released from prison in this drama.
Q: I am an every-week watcher of "Lucky Dog" and am wondering who compensates Brandon for the dog training and TurfMutt for the backyard makeovers?
You could say that being in the show is compensation in itself. Or, put another way, they compensate each other.
"Lucky Dog," a weekend morning show built around dog trainer Brandon McMillan, is sponsored by TurfMutt, which means not only does that company provide its backyard makeovers free of charge, it actually pays the show's producers for the privilege. The idea is that the exposure TurfMutt gets on the show will lead other people to hire them to work on their own yards.
The Talk, on CBS
Eve, Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood chat about hot topics as the ninth season kicks off. The show features a diverse panel of female hosts who cover current events, pop culture, family issues and more.
The 2019 Miss America Competition, on ABC
Women from all walks of life gather in Atlantic City's famous Boardwalk Hall, where the reigning Miss America will pass on her crown. This year's pageant advances the message of female empowerment through scholarship, talent and social impact.
Local bites: New series brings out local rivalries
Host Tyler Florence with Chicago chefs in "Bite Club"
