This is what is happening in the television world on Thursday, January 21. All times are Eastern.
Best choice
Walker (The CW, 8:00 pm, series premiere): Howdy, folks. My name is Walker. Ranger Walker. From Texas.
We think there must be a clause somewhere in The CW’s corporate bylaws requiring that at least one show featuring Jared Padalecki be on the program at all times. Walker complies with that obligation. According to our own statutes, Roxana Hadadi should sum up this reboot, and she is ready to do so.
Regular coverage
The score (CBS All Access, 3:01 am)
Mr. Mayor (NBC, 8 p.m.)
Find party (HBO Max, 3:01 p.m., episodes 4-6)
G / O Media can receive a commission
Wild card
Selena + Chef (HBO Max, 3:01 p.m., season two, episodes 2-4): Technically, the second season of one of last year’s most pleasant, laid-back surprises opened in November with an episode of Friendsgiving. And then … nothing. So today’s release of the next three episodes finally kicks this new one Selena + Chef season with spices.
