That ’90s Show

Times have changed, but the smoky basement remains much the same in a shiny sequel to the Fox hit That ’70s Show (1998-2006), built around the daughter of Eric and Donna (Topher Grace and Laura Prepon, one of a handful of original stars whose cameos earn shrieks from the studio audience). Leia (an overly earnest Callie Haverda) opts to ditch the parents and spend the summer in Point Pleasant, Wisconsin, with her grandparents Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) and Red (Kurtwood Smith), hanging out with a bunch of new friends who inevitably earn Red’s curmudgeonly ire. The nostalgic references have been updated to Party of Five and movie rentals, but it’s good to know that Eric has lost none of his nerdy reverence for Star Wars. Some things are timeless.

Hell’s Kitchen

The field of chef-testants narrows again in the high-volume cooking competition as the final seven compete in a trio of challenges—including a tricky pork recipe—to earn one of the coveted black jackets that gain them entry to a relaxing lounge where even the volcanic Gordon Ramsay has been known to chill. The hitch: There are only five black jackets, so two players will be shown the door.

Ghost Adventures: House Calls

The spooky spinoff wraps its first season with Zak Bagans sending the team to a Pennsylvania home to investigate a “dark aggression” tormenting a large family. Turns out the gnarly spirit may be coming from the remains of a deceased father.

Cribs

The revival of the weekly peek into how the other half lives ends with an enviable trip to Italy, where Younger star Debi Mazar keeps a 15th-century villa in scenic Tuscany. The show also savors a visit to chef/author Eddie Huang (Fresh Off the Boat) to sample some high-end home cooking.
