Too Much TV: Your TV Talking Points For Monday, September 9th, 2019

Here's everything you need to know about the world of television for Monday, September 9th, 2019. I'm writing this from the Twin Cities, where AllYourScreens HQ is running on unsweetened ice tea and slightly stale corn chips.

PRESIDENT TRUMP VS. HOLLYWOOD, PART 345
While I have no inside sources with the Secret Service, based on President Trump's tweets Sunday night, he was apparently watching MSNBC's "Justice For All Town Hall." Not surprisingly, he wasn't happy & tweeted out a series of complaints about the special. And among them was a slam at John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.

Teigen isn't easily intimidated and is a bit of an angry ninja on Twitter, so she wasted no time in slapping him back.

Ah, 2019. We're going to miss you. Or not.

THE FALL BROADCAST TV SEASON OFFICIALLY BEGINS NEXT WEEK:

In the wake of her loss, hoping to reconnect with the daughter he loves, Elijah asks Sydney to rejoin his firm. She agrees because despite her lingering resentment and distrust, she knows that working alongside her father is her best hope at changing the world … if they can ever get along. Click here to see some photos from the premiere.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
On Friday, MSNBC host Chris Hayes wrapped up the last of three planned live editions of "All In With Chris Hayes." If you watch a lot of cable news television, you'll appreciate his mostly successful attempt to reinvent the genre. Here is my review, it you didn't see it over the weekend.

8) The Deuce Season Three Premiere (HBO)
Season three of "The Deuce" brings us into the world of 1985, just as VHS overtakes film as the primary medium for porn production and distribution. The lure of the California sunshine, the city’s aggressive takeover of commercial sex properties in Times Square and the devastating impact of the AIDS epidemic mark the end of an era. With the party of the 1970s winding down, 42nd Street has deteriorated into a hive of uncontrolled violent crime and seedy video stores, making urban renewal seem more unlikely than ever before. Following the interconnected lives of Times Square’s barkeeps, prostitutes, pimps, police, mobsters, porn actors and producers, the eight-episode third season of THE DEUCE brings the series’ arc to a dramatic conclusion.

The 10th season kicks off, hosted by Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Eve, Carrie Ann Inaba and newest host Marie Osmond. Osbourne unveiling her refreshed look after undergoing her recent facelift.
