Marshals

Season Finale

SUNDAY: Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) and his fellow U.S. Marshals have their hands full in an eventful Season 1 finale of the Yellowstone spinoff, marking the final night of most original scripted programming across the major broadcast networks until fall. The action begins with another assassination attempt targeting Broken Rock Reservation chairman Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), whom Kayce is assigned to protect while the crew searches for who’s responsible. (Think militia.) On the home front, Kayce and son Tate (Brecken Merrill) face an existential crisis when cattleman Tom Weaver (Chris Mulkey) has designs on their beloved ranch. Followed by the Season 3 finale of Tracker (9/8c), with Colter (Justin Hartley) joined by brother Russell (The Boys‘ Jensen Ackles) to search for the victim of a shadowy research project associated with their late father.

Summer of ’94

Documentary Premiere

SATURDAY: With just a few weeks until the U.S. begins co-hosting this year’s highly anticipated World Cup tournament, Fox stokes soccer fever with a nostalgic look back at a turning point in our nation’s relationship with the sport. The documentary recaptures the excitement 32 years ago when the U.S. first hosted the event, forming a U.S. Men’s National Team without a pro league to draw from. The performance of these underdogs, coached by Bora Milutinović, kindled a passion for soccer that led to the formation of Major League Soccer two years later. The film includes archival footage of the 1994 tournament, captured by the players and their coach on camcorders.

    On Saturday there are a few sprinkles of things to watch: a Looney Tunes special about how farm animals 'comply' with WWII-era blackouts. Josh Gates is on all evening, and Smithsonian Channel and American History Channel (AHC) are featuring war-focused documentary shows. Speaking of war, one of tonight's episodes of Combat, on H&I, is one of my favorites, called The Steeple. If someone wanted to try watching Combat, I would suggest starting with this episode (which I believe is based on an actual event). ..

    On Sunday, TCM again shows a war-related cartoon, followed by war-related (or war-adjacent) movies. AHC again has an excellent series, WWII in Color showing. My only 'appointment' is to watch Tracker, to see if the season finale is any more compelling than most other episodes, which is doubtful. I'm expecting a ho-hum finale for a ho-hum series.

      Tracker for me as well. Keeping my expectations low.

      That’s the last show I have until the fall season starts up.

      Have a great summer!

        BTW the other day I was watching an episode of SWAT while I did other stuff, and suddenly thought "Hey, I know that voice!!" I looked at the TV and confirmed it: the actor who plays Randy from Tracker was on SWAT. He was a rapper.
