Sanditon (season 3 and series finale) (9 pm, PBS)

Autopsy: The Last Hours of Robert Reed (special) (9 pm,
Reelz)

Robert skyrocketed to stardom as Mike Brady, America’s favorite father of
‘The Brady Bunch’. Boasting a career that spanned 3 and a half decades
Robert starred in over 100 film and television shows. Brought up in
Oklahoma, Robert gave the farming life a go before deciding his true
passion was acting. After studying as a classical actor, he particularly
loved Shakespeare, Robert caught his first big break on the legal drama
series ‘The Defenders’. The series won 14 Emmys in its four years on the
air and led to Reed signing a development deal with legendary studio
‘Paramount Pictures’. Robert was reluctant when they offered him the father
role, in a new sitcom pilot called ‘The Brady Bunch’ but it was the part of
Mike Brady that catapulted him to stardom. Robert Reed became a household
name, often described as ‘The Dad of America’ and one of the best-known
actors of his generation. Alongside the many Brady sitcom spin-offs Robert
continued to take on more serious acting roles three of which gave him Emmy
nominations. Following breakdowns in his own family relationships Robert
took on The Brady family as though they were his own becoming very close to
them all across the years. But behind Robert’s jovial on-screen image was
an unhappy man who had battled with leading a double life for many years.
Robert’s death at just 59 surprised those around him, it was attributed to
Colon Cancer but shocking press revelations after he died told a different
story. Robert’s public persona was a façade for a myriad of secrets. So why
did one of America’s most treasured actors die so young? And how did he
succumb to such a deadly disease that killed him so quickly? World renowned
forensic pathologist Dr Michael Hunter unravels Robert’s history, lifestyle
and medical past in order to find the answers.

Amityville: An Origin Story [new] (10 pm, MGM+)

AMITYVILLE: AN ORIGIN STORY tells the story behind the world's most
infamous haunted house tale: the Amityville murders. The project is the
first elevated look at every aspect of this wildly layered story about the
heinous murder of a family of six that became eclipsed by paranormal
controversy. The 1979 blockbuster film, The Amityville Horror, inspired by
the book of the same title by Jay Anson spawned an ever-expanding universe
of movies, books, supernatural theories, and horror superfans. But the mass
murder behind the hauntings - and its alleged ties to organized crime -
left a long trail of questions that have never been fully explored. Rooted
in the dark cultural undercurrents of the 1970s, the series features
firsthand accounts from witnesses, family members, and former investigators
appearing on-camera for the first time. Exclusive archival footage, newly
unearthed images, and stunning original photography are woven together into
the most compelling and comprehensive telling of the Amityville story yet,
taking viewers on a heart-pounding roller coaster ride through the
mythology, factual record, and devastating human toll of this notorious
meta-narrative. Four episodes.

Somebody Somewhere (season 2 premiere) (10:30 pm, HBO)

The critically-acclaimed Bridget Everett-led comedy returns for its second

Glad to see this series make a return. There was a good setup for this
season with the last episode with the man's wife being guided
underground so maybe we will get more information on just what is
behind this strange area.

There is no haunting but there is a succession of people looking to
make money off the idea that there was a haunting. Instead of a heart
pounding roller coaster of a ride expect a gentle country side drive
through the story of the Amityville house.

It's an interesting idea but the foreign series bother me. Will those
series be necessary to follow the story and will those be in English
or just dubbed or with subtitles? Hopefully the series is written to
be stand alone from the other supposedly interconnected series.

This was never on Showtime. MGM+ is ePix renamed. I had watched it On
Demand since the episodes were released weeks before they were released
on satellite. I have no idea when streaming viewers saw them, probably
at the same time as On Demand viewers. I haven't looked for second
season yet.

If you had ePix, you've got MGM+.

I don't think I know anyone else in the cast.

I checked - this isn't an Asylym deal, but it is from "The Cartel"
(whom I suspect may be an Asylum spinoff operation) and they're
offerings are very hit-or-miss.

Considering the nothing cast, I wouldn't expect much from this one...

Another lowsy blurb written by a dumb intern that Robin found somewhere
- the sister is played by Aubrey Reynolds, who is likely the main draw
(it's why I'm in!!), and she's not even listed!?!

Based on the fiery chemistry Mitchell had with his real-life wife on

hott! romance movie, STAT!!

This is is the kind of thing that if it had aired on a cable channel
during the summer about 7 years ago I would probably have checked it
out.

As has been pointed out on Reddit, this is virtually a remake of the

Anjelica Bette Fellini?! Oh, F**K, yeah, I'm in!
A little disappointed it has comedic elements, though, apparently.

Newcomer Allie Forsberg plays the young woman. This looks over-the-top,

I like Madden, but I really have to question Chopra Jonas' involvement
(which makes you immediately question how "seriously" we're supposed to
take it!?!).

Anyway, I will check this out...

OK, probably not an Asylum spinoff then.

But the rest of that is boilerplace - they're not "top tier"! They
produce about a quarter to a third of Lifetime's movies!!

OK, I am checking right now, and this is not on Tubi...

This - https://www.vitalthrills.com/tubi-april-2023/ - does seem to
indicate that the flick is supposed to be released today.

I'm guessing Tubi changed their minds - they'll either release it on
Friday, or release it later (likely in May)...
