A critical checklist of notable Thursday TV:

Detroiters (10:30/9:30c, Comedy Central): Think Mad Men with truly mad man-boys, and that’s the flavor of this wacky comedy series about the most aggressively inept ad pitchmen in Detroit or possibly anywhere. Best buds/co-enablers Sam Richardson (Veep) and Tim Robinson, as Sam and Tim (what else), get an unreality check when they realize their A-list rival, Doner Advertising, is going after their D-list clients. To fight back, they somehow steal the attention of a local auto magnate who’s come up with a revolution in car manufacturing. What happens next you’ll have to see for yourself.

Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger (8/7c, Freeform): New Orleans is in more of a tizzy than usual as the first season of the teen superhero fable comes to an end. (As with most Marvel properties that aren’t Inhumans, this has been renewed for a second season.) Tyrone (Aubrey Joseph) and Tandy (Olivia Holt) decide to embrace their destiny as “The Divine Pairing” to save their beloved city.

Shooter (10/9, USA): Bob Lee (Ryan Phillippe) continues to dig deep into the conspiracy surrounding his father’s assassination. With Isaac’s (Omar Epps) help, he tracks down a former “dark lord” of the Pentagon, who’s now in a psychiatric hospital. Could anything be crazier than the truth?

Inside Thursday TV: A winner will be crowned on the two-hour second-season finale of Fox’s The Four: Battle for Stardom (8/7c). Will it be James, Leah, Sharaya J or Whitney?… More eyes will likely be tuned to NBC’s broadcast of the NFL Hall of Fame Game (8/7c) from Canton, Ohio, kicking off the preseason with the Chicago Bears taking on the Baltimore Ravens… Or if you prefer the action on the sidelines, a new season of CMT’s Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team (10/9c) gets underway, with contenders for the squad including a Miss America runner-up and a former competitive ice skater.

      What was the NFL's "final decision" on the players' standing/not standing for the National Anthem???

    Now that CMT's Nashville ended its long run I only have ABC's Take Two and Quantico left for the week.

    Reverie was a bit different than usual, not the typical episodic case of the week. And the previews for next week look even better.

    Burden of Truth continues to be a solid summer show. The underlying mysteries are very intriguing. Highly recommend this one.

      You didn't watch The Sinner last night? It was pretty good.

      I only watched Burden of Truth and Reverie. If I have time, maybe I'll try to catch The Sinner On Demand.

      Yes, Burden of Truth was good last night. Things are moving along at a good clip. I don't understand why the girl (Joanna? is that her name?) anyway, she needs to simply ask someone from the town, "What's the deal, why does everyone hate or resent my dad?" After all, she was just a teenager (??) when they left, so anything that her dad did isn't her fault. But if she wants to know why she's been slapped and badmouthed and even her old friend seems resentful, she needs to JUST ASK SOMEONE. (I still say her dad knew about whatever it is that ends up being the cause of the illness.)

    Take Two and Shooter here with no Trial & Error on this week.

    He didn't mention the cable debut of Marvel's Runaways on Freeform. The series has already run on Hulu and got some pretty good reviews when it did.

      From what I understand...tonight's Marvel's Runaways episode is the series pilot...which debuted on Hulu in November 2017...

      Is the rest of Season #1 also going to be shown on Freeform???

      Is Season #2 going to be shown on Freeform...or Hulu???

    2. C

      It looks like they're only showing the pilot for now. I thought they were going to run the whole first season. Season 2 will be on Hulu.

      That's what I suspected...

      Since I don't get Hulu...not sure I want to watch just the Pilot of a show that I can't watch any more episodes of...

      After rethinking...I went into Verizon's DVR to record tonight's episode...and it gave me the option to "Record Series"...

      So...I set it for recording "the series"...and will see if any episodes pop up in the future...(when I'll, then, watch the Pilot)...

    The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders were a thing back in the '70s. The fact that they have a TV show about them is proof positive that some TV networks will make a TV show about anything.

      It's CMT, so what do you expect? You want intelligent shows...watch PBS.

      CMT pretty much abandoned scripted programing after canceling Nashville and other scripted shows like Still The King and Sun Records. So now they are going for inexpensive unscripted reality shows.
