The Larry Sanders Show

Watchlist

Classic satire about late-night TV host Larry Sanders, a neurotic (when he's not being self-obsessive) performer. The show boasted celebrity guests unafraid of poking fun at themselves; hilarious behind-the-scenes bits skewering the bloated egos (and insecurities) of the rich and famous; and delicious love-hate business involving Larry, producer Artie and sidekick Hank ('Hey now!'). Its memorable finale featured Jerry Seinfeld, Sean Penn, Carol Burnett, Warren Beatty and David Duchovny.

The Good Wife Swears In Arrested Development's Jeffrey Tambor

Monday Playlist: Silence Is Golden on Switched at Birth

Alarms are sounded several times, but we never hear them, in a tremendously effective and thematically overdue episode of ABC Family's best-of-network Switched at Birth (8/7c), which unfolds almost entirely in American Sign Language. By necessity, actions speak louder than words — all in subtitles, or sometimes tweets — as the deaf and hard-of-hearing students at Carlton School for the Deaf rally to protest the school board's decision to shutter their campus. (The hearing students, whose integration into the student body has caused some friction this season, also pitch in.)
