Actor Miguel Ferrer Talks "NCIS: Los Angeles" Season Finale
Jeff Sessions, Bette Davis and time travel contribute to this weekends TV highlights. Arent you ready to time travel?
Were almost certain to see Kate McKinnon play Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Saturday Night Live. She also spoofs Kellyanne Conway and Betsy DeVos, so maybe SNL will arrange a film that brings together her portrayals. Oscar winner Octavia Spencer will host, and heres hoping SNL skewers the Academy Awards fiasco. Father John Misty will be the musical guest. Will Alec Baldwin be back as Donald Trump? Will Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer? Find out at 11:30 p.m. Saturday on NBC.
Feud: Bette and Joan, an eight-part limited series, starts at 10 p.m. Sunday on FX. This campy extravaganza explores the making of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and how stars Bette Davis and Joan Crawford detested each another on the set of the 1962 classic. Jessica Lange manages to earn sympathy as the calculating Crawford quite a feat. Susan Sarandon brings a fierce intensity to the driven Davis. Ryan Murphy whipped up this giant souffl of Tinseltown intrigue. It never deflates, thanks to a first-rate cast including Kathy Bates, Stanley Tucci and Alfred Molina. Check out my review.
Feud feels like time travel. Two new series demonstrate the process. Foxs Making History is an incredibly goofy sitcom about returning to the past through a duffel bag. Main characters Dan (Adam Pally) and Chris (Yassir Lester) should appeal to the Fox audience; the show gets the time slot after The Simpsons at 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Maybe this time travel has a future.
Time After Time, debuting with two hours at 9 p.m. Sunday on ABC, is a sturdy premise that you may know from a 1979 movie. In the series, H.G. Wells travels from 1893 London to 2017 New York to try to stop a friend whos revealed to be Jack the Ripper. The first time around Malcolm McDowell played Wells, and David Warner portrayed Jack the Ripper. They were splendid and distinctive; Mary Steenburgen was the female lead. This time around, Freddie Stroma is Wells, and Josh Browman is the Ripper. Other characters disagree about which man is better looking one sign the new version lacks the originals punch.
Theres a lot happening Sunday night. Victoria, the lavish Masterpiece series about the British queen, concludes its first season with 90 minutes at 9 p.m. on PBS.
The Walking Dead offers a new episode, Say Yes, at 9 p.m. on AMC. The plot: Someone in Alexandria must make a morally challenging decision, AMC says, while members of the group scavenge for supplies. Talking Dead, starting at 10:02, features Walking Dead executive producer Denise Huth and comedian/superfan Yvette Nicole Brown.
More Sunday changes: Once Upon a Time returns to the ABC schedule at 8 p.m. NBC brings back Little Big Shots at 8 and Shades of Blue at 10, inserting the new Chicago Justice between them. Justice, a legal drama, comes from d**k Wolf, who is responsible for three other Chicago series on NBC.
CBS offers new episodes of NCIS: Los Angeles at 8, Madam Secretary at 9 and Elementary at 10. NCIS: la will pay tribute to the late miguel Ferrer, who died Jan. 19 of throat cancer age 61.
Viewers will hear a version of "Knocking on Heaven"s Door" played by Ferrer"s band, the Jenerators, and sung by Ferrer. The episode also will explain what happened to Owen Granger, Ferrers character, and conclude with a remembrance title card.
Goodbye to a fine actor.
