The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

HBO Max this week (March 8-14, 2026) will add 12 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here’s the one to watch, in my humble opinion:

Rooster (Season one premiere)
When to Watch: Sunday, March 8
What Kind of Show: Comedy
Who’s In It: Steve Carell, John C. McGinley, Charly Clive
Steve Carell (pictured above) stars as a college professor and author who has a complicated relationship with his daughter (Charly Clive) whose husband just split to have an affair. Carell is very funny in the trailer and the writing team comes from shows like Ted Lasso so this looks like a good bet. Still not convinced? Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights) is in the recurring cast so it’s gotta’ be good.
