Mike Hughes on TV

1) Game night opener, ABC. Here’s the final piece of ABC’s summer, which has no-rerun blocks from 8-11 p.m. Sundays and Mondays, 8-9:30 p.m. Wednesdays and 8-10 Thursdays. At 8 today, “Prank Panel” makes an overprotective dad think his daughter has the world’s worst boyfriend. At 9, “Celebrity Family Feud” has Gayle King, Sophia Bush Hughes and the “Yellowjackets” (shown here) cast. At 10, “$100,000 Pyramid” includes RuPaul and Loni Love. Read more…

1) “Dawn,” 8 p.m. Lifetime, rerunning at 10. The grim tales of V.C. Andrews (the “Flowers in the Attic” author) are big on Lifetime. On consecutive Saturdays, four movies will tell of a sweet teen, encased in wealth and cruelty. Brec Bassinger (shown here with Jesse Metcalfe) is subtly excellent (as she was in “Stargirl”), but many characters are overwritten and/or overacted; Donna Mills is especially inept as a venomous matriarch.

1) “Family Law” season-opener, 8 p.m., CW. Abby’s life was derailed by alcoholism and a cheating husband. Almost disbarred, she had to work in her dad’s law office, with two half-siblings. Now things are worse: Her half-sister had a break-up and their father (Victor Garber, shown here with Jewel Staite as Abby) is dating an abrasive TV commentator. Also, there’s a strange new court case. Despite flaws (likable characters are scarce), this Canadian show works fairly well as a light drama. Read more…

1) “Young Sheldon,” 8 p.m., CBS. For most of these first six seasons, Missy has been unnoticed and underappreciated. She’s not as smart as one brother (Sheldon) or as troublesome as the other (Georgie), but has ample people skills. With the focus on Mandy’s baby, she anew. Then – at the end of an episode that reran Wednesday – she stole her dad’s truck. Tonight (shown here) she finds her friend Paige (a young genius who’s a college drop-out) and tries a joy ride.

1) “The Wonder Years,” 9 p.m., ABC. Most weeks, Saycon Sengbloh (shown here with Dule Hll) is in the background, as Dean’s mom. Now she gets a terrific showcase, complete with great songs. Sengbloh was in seven Broadway musicals, usually in the chorus or understudying a star; then a play brought her fame and a Tony award. Here, her mother-in-law (R&B/gospel great Patti LaBelle) taps her for the church choir. The story is fairly good; the music is glorious. Read more…

1) “A Capitol Fourth,” 8 p.m., PBS, rerunning at 9:30. Each year, this offers a rich variety of music from the Capitol lawn, capped by fireworks (shown here). This year has a Tina Turner tribute from Adrienne Warren (who played her on Broadway), a musical tribute to soldiers and their families by Renee Fleming and Charles Esten singing “Let Freedom Ring” as the fireworks flow. Also Chicago, Babyface, Boyz II Men, Belinda Carlisle, Maddie & Tae and more. Read more…
