HI HELLO HI, I’m on the move again. I’ll be back on Monday (though the Saturday Night Live recap will be coming much later, I’m afraid). In the meantime, I leave you with one of my favorite TikTok series, Puppy Court:

WATCH THIS
FRIDAY
Sheriff Country: Ben McKenzie stars as a neighboring sheriff called in to assist Sheriff Mickey Fox in the season premiere. 7 p.m., CBS
Fire Country: A sinkhole opens under Main Street. Season premiere. 8 p.m., CBS
Boston Blue: A series of murders mirrors the Boston Strangler in the season premiere. 9 p.m., CBS
Disclosure Day: The streaming premiere of the Steven Spielberg alien movie. True story: my husband and I rented this on our TV and started watching it, only to realize that we were too tired to finish it that night. So we postponed watching it, starting it two nights later, and just as the movie was entering the final third, it stopped … because we had rented it for 48 hours and the time was up. On principle, I refused to rent it again, so my husband will be happy to learn we can finally watch the final part now that it’s on “free” streaming (streaming I’m already paying for). Peacock
Matchbox the Movie: Sure. Obviously. Why not. Apple TV
