A sure sign they’re running out of TV shows for prime time: A new show featuring celebrities at home watching TV shows. Rob Lowe (pictured with his sons above), Meghan Trainor, Joe Beck, Raven-Symons, Master P and Steve Wozniak watch terrible shows like “Masked Singer” and “Dr. Pimple Popper” and talk about it on the new “Celebrity Watch Party” (Fox, 8 p.m.), based on a British show “Gogglebox.”
Ominously, the same ploy is used on a new episode of “Restaurant: Impossible” (Food, 9 p.m.), in which host Robert Irvine watches the first episode of the series and comments on it. Getting into actual restaurants, you see, is what’s become impossible.
The film version of Bruce Springsteen’s latest album “Western Stars” (HBO, 3:10 a.m.) gets a weird time slot. It has some unpersuasive narration but some pretty good live performances of the songs from the album from his barn. It will be available on demand at a more reasonable hour.
I was hoping the fifth and final season of “Blindspot” (NBC, 9 p.m.) would entirely be about tattoo removal. But it begins with the aftermath of an explosion.
Adam talks house flipping on “Man with a Plan” (CBS, 8:30 p.m.), one of a handful of shows canceled by the network Thursday. Among the others canceled is the pretty good first season cop show “Tommy” (CBS, 10 p.m.), whose episode tonight is suddenly its last ever, and the sitcom that just started last month, “Broke” (CBS, 9:30 p.m.).
“Council of Dads” (NBC, 8 p.m.) tries to lighten things up a bit.
Mr. O’Neill spars with a UFC fighter on the season finale of “Shaq Life” (TNT, 9 p.m.).
The true crime “If I Should Die” (Investigation Discovery, 9 p.m.) has a season finale.
Unlike us, contestants on “Top Chef” (Bravo, 10 p.m.) are free to shop where they want and prepare as much food as they want.
Annalise’s murder trial finally arrives on “How to Get Away with Murder” (CBS, 10 p.m.).
Because it’s “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” (MTV, 8 p.m.), Angelina’s bachelorette party is at a strip club.
“Katy Keene” (CW, 8 p.m.) finds unsettling information about Guy’s past.
Not sure “My 600-Lb. Life” (TLC, 8 p.m.) needs bonus scenes.
Hannibal Buress and Catherine O’Hara play “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” (ABC, 8 p.m.).
On “In the Dark” (CW, 9 p.m.), Darnell tries a new gig.
A corruption scheme is uncovered on “Station 19” (ABC, 9 p.m.).
“The Real Housewives of New York City” (Bravo, 9 p.m.) have to put up with Luann’s anti-bullying comedy show.
The crew from “We’re Here” (HBO, 9 p.m.) go to Branson and not just for the entertainment.
On “Siren” (Freeform, 10 p.m.), Helen is haunted by Donna’s spirit.
Edward G. Robinson is star of the month on Turner Classic Movies with 29 movies showing Thursday nights all month. They begin with his tough guy roles in “Little Caesar” (8 p.m.), “Tiger Shark” (9:30 p.m.), “The Sea Wolf” (11 p.m.), “Key Largo” (12:30 a.m.), “Bullets or Ballots” (2:30 a.m.), “The Little Giant” (4 a.m.) and “Two Seconds” (5:30 a.m.).
During the day are films of director Basil Dearden, with “Sapphire” (6 a.m.), “The League of Gentlemen” (7:45 a.m.), “The Secret Partner” (9:45 a.m.), “Victim” (11:30 a.m.), “All Night Long” (1:30 p.m.), “Woman of Straw” (3:15 p.m.) and “Masquerade” (5:30 p.m.).
There’s still no sports in the U.S., so they’ve made a prime time program out of the NFL Schedule Release (NFL, 8 p.m.), just in case there are games in fall 2020. They’ll stretch it three hours.
