Weekly Television Roundup
This week’s television highlights showcase an array of dramatic storylines and entertaining twists across several shows. From disasters to humorous school conflicts, the viewing options are as diverse as ever.
9-1-1: Lone Star
The latest episode of Lone Star presents a monumental crisis as the 126 crew responds to a devastating train derailment. The scale of the disaster amplifies as they grapple not only with the injured but also with the urgent threat posed by the train’s dangerous cargo, which risks contaminating Austin. Meanwhile, tension brews back at the firehouse, where Judd (Jim Parrack) seeks support to reclaim his position, and Marjan (Natacha Karam) and Paul (Brian Michael Smith) await news regarding their new lieutenant. This intense episode is followed by Rescue: Hi-Surf (9/8c), featuring Em (Arielle Kebbel) stepping up to lead her team through multiple crises on the picturesque beaches of Oahu.
English Teacher
In a comedic twist, the newest episode of English Teacher explores the chaotic dynamics of high school administration. Principal Grant (Enrico Colantoni) finds himself in over his head when Evan (Brian Jordan Alvarez) assigns failing grades to his 11th-grade English class after poor essay submissions. The absurdity escalates as guest star Jenn Lyon portrays Linda Harrison, Evan’s rival, who is determined to force him to change those grades after previously leading an investigation into his behavior. This episode humorously highlights the often absurd repercussions of educational standards and rivalry.
Futurama
The animated cult classic Futurama brings fans a memorable Season 12 finale that tackles themes of nostalgia paired with a surreal twist. Following a disastrous flight, Fry experiences a barrage of déjà vu, prompting introspection as he confronts echoes of the past—both real and imagined. As the episode unfolds, the witty writing and humor suggest that while the series may be facing another potential cancellation, Hulu has surprised its audience by renewing it for two additional seasons, allowing more room for creativity in the universe of the Planet Express crew.
All American: Homecoming
In contrast to the aforementioned hits, the college spinoff All American: Homecoming draws to a close after three seasons.
