Worth Watching: Jimmy Kimmel Returns to Brooklyn, Finales of ‘All American’ and ‘Futurama’

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

This time last year, Jimmy Kimmel was making headlines after returning to the air following a brief suspension precipitated by his ongoing feud with the FCC. This week, the Emmy winner (most recently as host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire) returns to Brooklyn for the eighth time to host a week of shows from the Brooklyn Academy of Music. (His sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez, still chugging along on Dancing with the Stars, won’t join him until Wednesday.) The guest list through the week is especially stellar, featuring Howard Stern, Billy Crystal, late-night peers John Oliver and Seth Meyers, politicians Bernie Sanders and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and musicians Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney.

All American

One of the last remnants of the previous CW regime is put to rest when the football drama airs its series finale after eight seasons. With Olivia (Samantha Logan) in labor and Spencer (Daniel Ezra) returning for an emotional final bow, expect cast members, old and new, to reflect on the past and their collective futures.

Futurama

Matt Groening‘s animated sci-fi comedy, which has bounced from network to cable to streaming over its 14 seasons, wraps up its current run with an episode cheekily titled “Final Ending: The Last Conclusion.” The twisty premise is sparked by Fry’s memory from the 20th century when he and his older brother Fry once sneaked into a PG-13 movie (Deathbot 3000) but were not allowed to see how it ended. So begins a series of cliffhanger vignettes that explores, as Professor Farnsworth explains, “the need to hear the end of stories.” This isn’t the end of Futurama, however, with three extended-length specials in development for Hulu, including a Christmas-themed episode in 2027.

Line of Fire

FBI agent Clare (Kat Cunning) would rather work than grieve the shocking murder of her boyfriend, and despite her law enforcement family’s wishes, she takes the lead on a bank-heist case that ignites yet another turf war with her U.S. Marshal mom, Jane (Hope Davis), in just the second episode of the new crime drama. While Jane and her estranged husband, Secret Service agent Mike (Peter Krause), continue to hide what they know about their presumed-dead son Jack (Charlie Barnett), their other son Micah (Tommy O’Brien) takes great lengths to hide his relationship with the president’s daughter he’s assigned to protect.

Still Flipping Out

Bravolebrity Jeff Lewis is back with a spinoff of his long-running Flipping Out series, trying not to flip out as he juggles his design business, more real estate ventures — one with his chief of staff Shane Douglas — and a SiriusXM show on Radio Andy. Forever mixing business with pleasure, Jeff welcomes his friend group of “chumps” as radio co-hosts, including Molly Sims, Carnie Wilson, Raven-Symoné, Kym Whitley, and Jamie Kennedy.
