Following that, it’s the series premiere of Best Funeral Ever on TLC at 10/9c, with a 2nd new episode at 10:30/9:30c. For most of us, death is a time to mourn and shed tears for the departed. For others, it’s a time to honor their loved ones and celebrate the life through services that reinvent the traditional funeral. The Dallas-based Golden Gate Funeral Home is where John Beckwith Jr. and his staff organize the most unique funerals in the country, called home-going celebrations. No expense is spared as Beckwith and his team creates memories that will last forever. Starting with the deceased’s occupation or passion in life, the Golden Gate staff works with the families to create a central theme for a memorial and then elevates it to an unforgettable party. The end goal is to create a celebration as unique as the person they loved with an equally unique party.
Finally, tonight is the series premiere of Rick and Morty on Cartoon Network at 10:30/9:30c. From creators and executive producers Dan Harmon (Community) and Justin Roiland, the new half-hour animated series is about a sociopathic scientist who drags his unintelligent grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe. After missing for nearly 20 years, Rick Sanchez (Justin Roiland) suddenly arrives at his daughter Beth’s (Sarah Chalke) doorstep looking to move in with her and her family. Beth welcomes him with open arms, but her unremarkable husband Jerry (Chris Parnell) isn’t too thrilled about the tearful reunion as Rick’s arrival serves to shake things up quite a bit around the household. Rick converts the garage into his personal laboratory and gets to work on all sorts of dangerous sci-fi gadgets and contraptions. That wouldn’t be so bad if not for the fact that Rick continues to involve his grandchildren Morty (Roiland) and Summer (Spencer Grammer) in his insane adventures.

Maddie has played countless roles on stage, but one part shes not fit to play is anyones mother. Racked with guilt and completely out of her element, Maddie almost denies her son a second time how can an acclaimed actress and noted head case like Maddie possibly relate to a Jersey donut maker?

As Thelma and Frank show Arlo the ropes of Maddies uninhibited, unapologetic and occasionally unhinged life and tries to build a new one of his own in Manhattan this new makeshift family learns that its newest member isnt the only gem that could use a little polish.
