‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,' Plus 6 Things to Watch on TV This Week
Team Jeremiah? Team Conrad? I'm team 'date someone outside the family who aren't brothers,' but maybe that's just me. 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' follows Lola Tung as Belly, who navigates high school, then college. But the central plot is the will-they-won't-they relationships between her and two brothers, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney). Based on the young adult novels of the same name by Jenny Han, the series returns with its third and final season, dropping one episode each week — which means we won't find out whom Belly ultimately chooses until mid-September. Han, who also serves as the creator, co-showrunner, and an executive producer on the show, has teased that the ending of the show might differ from the book's, so only time will tell. Streaming Wednesday on Prime Video.

Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the gang seem to be quite busy this summer — they're on Coach bags, Uniqlo T-shirts, an entire Kith collection, and now they have to save their favorite summer camp. In 'Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical,' the first musical in the franchise in over 30 years, the group is headed on an outdoorsy adventure: Sally is nervous as a first-time camper, Snoopy and Woodstock go on a treasure hunt, and Charlie Brown works to keep their beloved camp's doors open. Streaming Friday on Apple TV+.
Missing Persons
In 1995, Jodi Huisentruit was 27 years old and working as an anchor for the local news station, KIMT, in Mason City, Iowa. On the morning of June 27, she didn't show up for work, and when the police later went to her apartment to investigate, they found some of her personal items — including car keys and red high heels — strewn near her car in the complex's parking lot. She was never found and, in 2001, was declared legally dead. The new three-part documentary series 'Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit' features interviews with family members, detectives, witnesses and friends in an attempt to figure out what happened. Streaming Tuesday on Hulu.

Viewership Slides For Series Finale Of HBO Max's ‘And Just Like That...'
And Just Like That… just didn't draw as much interest for this year's season finale, which was also the sometimes-controversial comedy's series finale. Viewership slipped for the season 3 ender, which aired August 14 on HBO Max. The episode averaged 509,000 U.S. households during the live-plus-three-day viewing period, according to Samba TV, which provides TV technology for audience data and omniscreen measurement. That was up very slightly (1%) over the previous week's episode, part one of the two-part series ender and up a good deal from the season 3 premiere. But it was off 7% from the season 2 finale, which averaged 544,000 U.S. households in 2023. And it was less than half the 1.1 million U.S. households that tuned in for the season one premiere. The show had seen marked declines since that highly anticipated return. Notably, the show skewed older. Households 45-54, who were slightly younger than the women they watched on screen, overindexed by 14% for the series finale. The show still drew solid numbers for HBO Max, which has a smaller distribution than a behemoth like Netflix. But there's no denying that the once-golden comedy starring Sarah Jessica Parker lost steam as the reboot continued. Why Did Viewership For And Just Like That… Decline? It may have been inevitable that And Just Like That… would drop off. Its return was a huge cultural milestone, coming more than a decade after the foursome of the original series left their hugely successful run. So when HBO Max announced the series reboot, it received massive attention and likely drew many curious viewers who perhaps did not have the devotion to the original. The series originally aired on HBO from 1998 to 2004. It was one of the first pay cable series to attract a larger mainstream audience and sparked two feature film releases that were also successful. When HBO Max announced the reboot, it seemed like a surefire hit. It premiered in December 2021, almost two years after the pandemic began and people were still seeking nostalgic TV. But more than a decade is a long time to be off the air, and when And Just Like That … returned, it did so to a television landscape that was quite different, and notably more diverse, than when it left. The show made arguably well-intentioned but clunkily executed attempts to get with the times, resulting in storylines that frustrated some fans because they undid some of the show's popular couplings and character depictions. And Just Like That… Inspired Passion On Both Sides Still, the people who loved it continued to remain devoted to the end, with some saying it improved this last season. And those who hated the reboot seemed to love to hate on it, too. The internet is ablaze with Reddit forums, magazine articles and blog posts detailing why main character Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) is the worst and how the writers disrespected the original. Whether that's actually true or people just like to complain more 21 years after the original's finale is certainly up for similar debate. The show was still popular enough to warrant another season if co-creator Michael Patrick King had wanted to extend it.

John Wall joins Prime Video's NBA coverage after retirement news breaks
John Wall's career in the NBA may be over, but he isn't walking away from the game he loves just yet.

Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post Wall, 34, is hoping that he can connect with fans and share his deep knowledge of the game with them through broadcasting, he told the Washington Post. 'If you never really had the opportunity to sit down and talk to me, you won't really understand how much I love basketball, where my basketball mind is at, where my IQ is,' Wall said. 'I can basically tell you the best player in the country — from girls to boys, high school, to the players that's in college, to the people that's at the NBA and WNBA.' Advertisement Wall has limited broadcast experience, having worked a pair of G League Winter Showcase games on ESPN and NBA TV last winter. Following the experience, he told the Associated Press that it was an outlet for him to talk about basketball, something 'I love to do' and that it was what he did 'when I'm home, watching with my friends and kids.' He joked that they all would eventually end up telling him to ''shut up and let us watch.'' John Wall at the Power TV series premiere.
