This is a new running series here on Appleosophy all about what Apple recommends people watch and stream on their TV’s next week, preferably from the Apple TV app.
Apple TV is Apple’s primary app for watching content both on-demand and live. It is a great way to manage which shows all of the movies and TV shows that you are watching on a variety of streaming services.

Appleosophy Staff Picks: Since this is our first week doing this, the writer of this article, David Becker, will include his picks for this article. We will add all of our staffs’ picks every Friday! For this article, Becker will have three picks.
- David Becker: Last Man Standing (FOX): The show aired two new episodes on Friday night, which are available to watch Friday nights at 8 PM ET. Additionally, episodes are added to the Hulu and FOX Now apps the next day.
- David Becker: The Big Bang Theory (CBS): The gang uses deception and betrayal to make it to the one open seat at Wil Wheaton’s celebrity Dungeons and Dragons game with William Shatner, Joe Manganiello, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kevin Smith. A new episode of the series airs February 21, 2019.
- David Becker: Spongebob Squarepants (Prime Video): Specifically the episode “Band Geeks” is on Prime Video and I think we could all use it after that disappointment that was the Super Bowl 53 halftime show.
All of these movies and TV shows can be streamed right from the Apple TV app, which is available on the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and the Apple TV.
