Again, as I just recently posted in the other thread, apparently "John Wick 4" showed up on Peacock as of tonight.

     Broadcast and cable:
  The Nanny Sees All        (movie)         (8 pm, LMN)
 Grace Anderson’s new job as a nanny for the mayor’s family turns into a nightmare when a murder rocks the town and she starts receiving ominous messages. Now, Grace starts to question what deadly secrets are lurking in her hometown. Stars Golden Madison [as Grace] and Julia Borsellino.

Left it on, muted, as background noise. It does not look very good, and Julia Borsellino now suddenly looks 10 years older than she did just 3 or so years ago...

  I Was Honey Boo Boo       (movie)        (8 pm, Lifetime Channel)
 While on the kids’ pageant circuit, Alana (Vale Cooper) became known as “Honey Boo Boo,” as the world discovered her and her colorful family, led by her mother, Mama June (Chelsea Larkin). Alana’s dynamic persona captivated audiences and caught the attention of producers, catapulting her and her family to meteoric stardom as reality TV stars. But behind closed doors were forced smiles, silent tears and the lingering sense of uncertainty for what the future held for Alana and her family. After a series of scandals and legal troubles, Alana’s world was turned upside down and she was ultimately placed in the care of her older sister, Pumpkin (Georgia Small). Now in college, Alana is determined to shake off the labels that have followed her, shed light on the darker side of child stardom and forge a path to overcome generational trauma and challenges.

I might have actually watched this, but I have a review session tomorrow evening that is probably going to kill my chance to watch it.

  The Love Club Moms: Nila           (movie; linear premiere)        (7 pm, UPtv)
 When her daughter and Love Club encourage her to start dating again, Nila's disappointing dates lead to a pretend relationship with local coffee stop owner Olly. Can the Love Club help her realize that her feelings for him might be real? Stars Nazneen Contractor and Joseph Cannata.

Bah!

Girl Taken        (movie)        (8 pm, Lifetime Channel)
 After she blames her mother for a break-up, a teen girl runs away and hitches a ride with a family friend, only to be abducted by him. Now she must fight to survive as her mother fights to find her. Erica Durance, Kennedy Rowe and Eric Hicks star.

I will probably record this for later viewing.

Vindication         (season 4 premiere)        (8 pm, Great American Family)
 A faith-based episodic crime drama following the small-town investigative work of Detective Gary Travis, played by Todd Terry. Terry's co-stars are Peggy Schott (Becky Travis), Venus Monique (Kris), Steve Mokate (Sgt. Tomlinson), T.C. Stallings (Det. Tre Millwood), and Emma Elle Roberts (Katie Travis). The first three seasons streamed on Pure Flix. Eight episodes running through July 6.

So GAFfe Channel didn't even pick up the first three seasons to go with this?!!

Suits LA        (season 1 and series finale)        (9 pm, NBC)

Ouch.
The couple of episodes of this I saw weren't terrible. But I think they made a fatal mistake in trying to tie this in with the original "Suits". If they had not done that, and called it anything else, it might have actually worked.

 (end)

Well, I would be watching "John Wick 4", if I had any time to!!
