Tonight’s “Downward Dog” pilot is one of the funniest things you’ll see this year. The title character’s insecurity and confusion are both hilarious and touching. The fellow who voices the canine’s thoughts is perfect. I love the cat nemesis as well.
Last week former NFL tackle Brad Culpepper kept his ball up the longest and the tribe sent his towering Utahan partner Sierra to jury instead. Two episodes and eight players remain:
Michaela Bradshaw, 25, Fort Worth salesperson
Andrea Boehlke, 28, New York TV host
Aubry Bracco, 30, Cambridge, Mass., marketer
Sarah Lacina, 32, Marion, Iowa, police officer
Cirie Fields, 45, Norwalk, Conn., nurse
Brad Culpepper, 47, Tampa attorney
Tai Trang, 52, San Francisco gardener
Troy "Troyzan" Robertson, 54, Miami swimsuit photographer
The CW says of tonight’s “Missing”:
Black Siren returns to help Chase. Felicity organizes a birthday party for Oliver while Lance is furious after Rene misses the custody hearing for his daughter.
Premiering tonight:
Downward Dog (ABC) May 17
Hollywood Medium (E!) May 17
