TV picks for May 12-14: 'Animal Moms,' 'The Graduate,' 'I Love Dick,' 'King Charles III'

Cinema buffs tend to cite 1939 as Hollywood's greatest year, but a strong case could be made for 1967, a year so rich it's taking TCM two Fridays to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The tribute kicks off with "The Graduate" and will include "In the Heat of the Night," "The Producers," "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Cool Hand Luke."

Jill Soloway has followed up "Transparent" with "I Love Dick," another graphic and unapologetic comedy that treats sex as anything but romantic. Kathryn Hahn plays a married filmmaker who swoons over a cowboy artist named Dick, played by Kevin Bacon, at an intellectual retreat. Soloway and co-creator Sarah Gubbins seem so obsessed with getting to the naked truth — figuratively and literally — that getting laughs is often relegated to the back burner, but Hahn is a pistol.

Celebrating Mother's Day with three straight hours of nature documentaries may sound like a terrible idea, since many of them today are as gory as a horror movie. But "Animal Moms" puts cuteness ahead of carnage. Mom will be so pleased she won't bug you about your haircut for at least a month.

William Shakespeare didn't hang around long enough to write "King Charles III," but his imprint is all over this contemporary tragedy, right down to playwright Mike Bartlett's use of iambic pentameter. Star Tim Pigott-Smith died last month, but not before doing press for this crowning achievement. Look for an interview with the actor in Sunday's Variety section.
