Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, June 8. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
The Flash (The CW, 8 p.m.): At long last, Cisco Ramon is leaving Central City. How many new nicknames do you think he can squeeze into “Good-Bye Vibrations”?
Tonight, The Flash bids farewell (for now) to Carlos Valdes and the best hair in the Arrowverse. It’s not often one says goodbye to a member of Original Team Flash, and because this isn’t Arrow, this particular team member will likely be leaving with a pulse and a manageable amount of trauma. Watch for Scott Von Doviak’s recap.
Regular coverage
Superman & Lois (The CW, 9 p.m.)
Wild card
The Amusement Park (Shudder, 3:01 a.m.): This 4K restoration of George A. Romero’s “lost” film, only recently discovered and restored, follows “an elderly man who finds himself disoriented and increasingly isolated as the pains, tragedies and humiliations of aging in America are manifested through roller coasters and chaotic crowds.” In a press release, Shudder describes the film as Romero’s “wildest and most imaginative movie,” and the streamer seems eager to alert cinephiles to its existence. An official live-watch (8:05 p.m.) will be followed by a panel discussion (9 p.m., Shudder and YouTube) with Suzanne Desrocher Romero, horror author Tananarive Due, and Sandra Schulberg, who supervised the restoration of the film, among others.

55 minutes seems short enough that even I might tolerate it, if only I had Shudder.
I will miss Cisco; I will even more miss what The Flash was in Season 1, and how Cisco’s departure is just another indication that this is no longer that show.
I’ll be reading the review. I refuse to watch this show until conditions improve. Seeing it probably won’t ever improve, I’ll be reading and listening to reviews for the rest of its run.
Next week: Cisco pulls the greatest Larry David Maneuver of the 21st century.
They should just end The Flash. There’s no Flash without Cisco.
They should’ve cancelled it after S1.
I couldn’t stand Cisco when The Flash started out. I pegged him as the annoying, overacting character that I would have to tolerate just to get through the show because “Holy shit, The Flash has a tv show!”
Now, Cisco’s the one guy I enjoy watching on the show. He’s just that fun character who’s having a blast while the rest of the show is absolutely unwatchable. He’s become the heart of the show and the fact that he’s leaving truly feels like this The Flash is on it’s absolute last legs and should end.
