The best options
Rock young (NBC, 8 p.m.) i Kenan (NBC, 8:30 p.m.): NBC adds some laughs to its Tuesday lineup, pairing the debuts of two sitcoms with the reliable teardrop drama of It’s us.
The first is Rock young, which was created by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson along with Nahnatchka Khan. The comedy “will follow TPebble rock to fighters and presidential candidates. (The latter is only within the world of entertainment, for now.) Johnson and Khan have put together a whole team of likeable actors to play The Rock at the ages of 10, 15 and 20: Adrian Groulx, Bradley Constant and Uli Latukefu, respectively. This comedy of most ages is a little more involved than most; the framing device sees Randall Park (as himself, now a journalist) interviewing Presidential Hope, which will trigger all sorts of flashbacks to his mustache-filled adolescence. But with Khan, done Recent off the boat, helping to lead the way, Rock young it should offer more than a humor based on the fashion of the 80s ”. (Watch the rest of the February TV preview here.)
Regarding Kenan, follow this sitcom Saturday night live veteran Kenan Thompson, who, as Sam Barsanti describes, “plays a widowed father who hosts a morning talk show, with the stress of his life forcing him to reluctantly accept his father-in-law’s help. saxophone lover (Don Johnson) who is desperate to spend time with his granddaughters. SNLChris Redd also happens to be Thompson’s brother, presumably offering some of the same kind of chaotic energy that Thompson played so well in his Nickelodeon days. It’s hard to get a lot of reading in the program of this little clip, but hey, Kenan Thompson is finally doing a sitcom again, and it’s time. Check out Saloni Gajjar’s thoughts on these first-year series later this week.

Wildcard
Bad habits, sacred order (Hulu, first season): The latest in a series of shows that seem to steal its premise a 30 Rock little, this four-part reality series follows a group of party girls who make a living in a convent of nuns in rural Norfolk, England. It’s not exactly one Sisters Act riff, as these twenty-eight cheeky things don’t seem to hide from any mobsters. But if you expect a simple clash between tense nuns and a few libertines, it may disappoint you: both groups remain sweet in this negotiation for one night.
