No Sirena Ong (or Ongs generally) in tonight’s “Venture Bros.” “The Bellicose Proxy” hails instead the return of Augustus St. Cloud, The Monarch, Gary, Quizboy and Peter White (all of whom get new looks). Plus S-464, a Batmobile, paint-guns, clouds of green and lavender and a gleeful Horace Gentleman.
AMC says of “Blackjack”:
Strand and Dorie are marooned; Luciana aids a man in need; the group's efforts to help a stranger put everyone in danger.
Spoilers for this week’s “Big Brother” lurk in the text invisible.
Kaycee nominated Sam and Haleigh for eviction.
“The Deuce” just leapt ahead five years! David Krumholtz lost 200 pounds! HBO says of “Our Raison d'Etre”:
Times Square, 1977. After his early successes managing the Hi-Hat and French Parlor, Vincent is now proprietor of a new mob-backed disco, The 366, while his girlfriend Abby has brought the nascent punk-rock culture into the Hi-Hat. Vincent's twin brother Frankie remains a problem, "borrowing" money from Show Land, the sex emporium he manages, to pay off his debts. Candy, now a "triple threat" as a porn actress, producer and director, is looking to make more artful, ambitious adult films, over the objections of her collaborator Harvey. C.C. pulls a con on Bernie Wolf, director of a porn film starring Lori, to get her more money. Hoping to launch a more upscale gay nightclub, Paul looks to sever mob ties from his current bar. Alston, now a homicide detective, is approached by Gene Goldman, a civil servant appointed by Mayor Koch to clean up Times Square.
HBO says of “Doink”:
Spencer looks to elevate the SportsX TV brand, while Joe weighs a new offer. At Jayda's insistence, Spencer meets Quincy. Ricky tries to prove to Kisan he's still got the goods, while Charles is encouraged by Julie to bring more flair to his job.
