TV TOP PICKS
6 p.m. on CBS NFL Football
Veteran quarterbacks and their projected starting offenses should be on display when Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints visit Philip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers in their third preseason game. Brees and the Saints had a solid 2017 season, being on the losing end of the “Minneapolis Miracle” in the NFC Divisional round. Had it not been for an 0-4 start, the Chargers may have been a playoff team as well in their first season in Los Angeles.

Irish TV personality Liz Bonnin, pictured, who has a long association with science, nature and wildlife programming, is host for this threepart miniseries about the Galapagos Islands, the latest installment in the wildly popular and acclaimed Planet
Earth presentations. The premiere, “Cauldron of Life,” follows Bonnin as she joins a scientific team bound for the Pacific island chain noted for its biodiversity. Atop the highest volcano in the Galapagos, the group looks for the elusive pink iguana, which is an endangered species.

Years after the last time they saw each other, high school sweethearts Tyler and Corey (Autumn Reeser, Marc Blucas) find themselves reunited in Red Rock, Texas, this time as competitors in the town’s annual barbecue cook-off. They have very different stakes in the event: She just lost her job as a sous chef in San Francisco, while he’s flying in as a golden-boy celebrity chef from New York. Things quickly start heating up between them in this 2018 romance.
8 p.m. on OWN Mind Your Business With Mahisha
Gloria Williams saw her line of pedicure products, Footnanny, rocket to national success after it was included for four years on Oprah’s Favorite Things list, but as the new episode “Something’s Afoot at Footnanny” reveals, the subsequent overwhelming client demand has taken a toll on the company. Luckily for Williams, Mahisha Derringer has some ideas that she thinks will get Footnanny back on track.
11 p.m. on HBO Drew Michael
A former writer for Saturday Night Live who also guest starred on The
Carmichael Show, comedian Drew Michael stars in his first HBO special, which was taped in Los Angeles last May and directed by Jerrod Carmichael.
