The Four: Battle for Stardom (Fox, 8/7c): In the second season premiere, four powerhouse vocalists of all musical genres begin defending their coveted seats in front of a returning panel of rapper and mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, superstar producer DJ Khaled, and songstress Meghan Trainor. The singers are tasked with staying in the race as new artists start arrive, angling for their spots in the competition.

Nashville (CMT, 9/8c): The midseason premiere kicks off the final episode eight-episode run tonight, with Will (Chris Carmack) recovering in the hospital after collapsing on stage and Deacon (Charles Esten) on the receiving end of a restraining order from Brad (Jeffrey Nordling). Meanwhile, the media learns of Juliette’s (Hayden Panettiere) mysterious trio to South America and starts digging, and Maddie (Lennon Stella) gets caught up with the rebellious Jonah Ford (Nic Luken).

Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger (Freeform, 8/7c): The Marvel franchise comes to Freeform with this series premiere introducing two teens from drastically different backgrounds, Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph), who wind up linked by their newly-acquired powers — which end up being both a blessing and burden.

Imposters (Bravo, 10/9c): Now that Bravo has canceled the show, tonight’s season finale is now the series finale. In the potential final episode of the black comedy, Maddie (Inbar Lavi) and Co. head to Niagara Falls to evade sinister boss man The Doctor (Ray Proscia).

American Woman (Paramount Network, 10/9c): Alicia Silverstone arrives on TV in this series premiere, based loosely on the life of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards. The half-hour dramedy features the Clueless alum as Bonnie, a single mom who leaves her husband during the second wave of feminism in the ’70s, only to end up struggling to raise her two daughters in glamorous Los Angeles. At least she has the help of friends Kathleen (Mena Suvari) and Diana (Jennifer Bartels)!

    Whatever happened to the proverbial "Summer Break"...

    Any new...even mildly interesting...series...I'll add as a Season Pass to my DVR...(then decide whether to keep them after checking out the FIRST episode)…

    After tonight I'll have FIVE new series to check...Pose, Dietland, Succession, Cloak & Dagger and American Woman...

    (Plus...there's the THREE series that I love that are re-starting...Humans, The Profit and Nashville)...

    WHEW!!!

      The summer replacement shows are staggered throughout the summer now. Some don't start until August.

      In the advent of the DVR and ON DEMAND/STREAMING reruns have become less attractive to viewers. Hence more original programing in the summer.

      Enjoy your summer shows!

    According to my listings, there are 2 episodes of Marvel's Cloak & Dagger...one at 8:00 and one at 9:00! Better watch the premiere at 8:00, or it might be confusing! Besides that, I'll watch the final episode of Imposters and try not to cry about it being cancelled!

      My TV GUIDE magazine confirms your assertion. What did you think about Reverie?

      I only saw the second half of it, but I wasn't thrilled with what I saw. If anything else I like comes on at that time, I'll probably stop watching it.

      The first half was no better. But I'll try and stick with it.

      On the other hand The Crossing is better than ever. The previews for the two final episodes Saturday night look fantastic.

      I feel the same, about if/when something else is on at the same time as Reverie. I have a feeling that a lot of episodes are going to have that "been there, seen that" feel: she goes into someone's reverie, they don't want to leave, in the Real World she has to find out what the problem is, and convinces them to come out. So far this trope is two or two.

    Nashville has returned! Too bad Comcast dropped CMT from my package. Sometimes my DVR will catch it if it airs encores on another network like last year.

    I am a Marvel fan so I will likely check out Cloak and Dagger, but the previews don't impress me. Still no Marvel show tops Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for me.

    At times Reverie reminded me of Fantasy Island last night Truth is it reminds me of so many other movies and shows and can't seem to stay focused. Had this aired during the regular season, I would have not lasted past the first episode.

      Do you get the TV Land channel?

      Verizon lists tonight's episode on CMT...and the SAME episode is listed as TV Land Fri. 6/8 2:00 AM (Eastern).

      Last year my DVR recorded Nashville from Nick and/or TV LAND. If Comcast didn't drop those channels from my tier, it will hopefully record Nashville. When I have a second I will check if I even still get those channels. I never watch them so I wouldn't know off hand.

      After scrolling through 100s of channels I don't watch I finally found TV LAND. The Middle is airing there right now. Comcast used to mail out handy little channel guides with upcoming special programing , but I guess it costs too much because now I only get a bill : (

      The last PRINTED Channel Guide...where the channels are listed ALPHABETICALLY...I received from Verizon is dated September 2016!!??!!

      The Box/DVR also has a Channel Guide...but the channels are listed NUMERICALLY...a hassle when I'm trying to FIND the number of a specific channel...(since I DON'T KNOW the number)...

      I can't get a straight answer from Comcast as to why they did away with their online listings which were specific to your area (like TV Guide) either. It's like they don't care about making things convenient for the customer anymore.

      TVLand airs Nashville?

    7. C

      CyanCoathanger

      It's always on either them or Nick in the middle of the night or the next day.

    8. R

      RedCupcake

      I don't watch anything on TVLand anymore.

    9. C

      CyanCoathanger

      I don't remember ever watching it.

      Actually, after I posted that comment I realized that I might have lied. Sometimes I'll catch a MASH episode on TVLand in the evening. MASH is a show I'll sometimes turn to if nothing else is on.

      And I can't remember what channel many of those cable networks are on. Kinda like remembering cell phone #s. They are in my contacts so I don't recall what the actual # is.

      Fortunately, I remember most of the channels I watch. I check my listings on zap2it for the ones I don't remember.
