AMC's Quiz Considers the Case of an Alleged Game Show Cheat

They were the coughs heard round the world. In 2001, one of TV's most-popular game shows was rocked by a truly bizarre scandal, as the producers of Britain's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire brought a former contestant and his wife to court, accusing them of cheating their way to the top prize. That infamous passage in television history gets the limited series treatment this weekend as AMC airs the first episode of Quiz. Speaking of game shows, ABC is rolling out a fresh slate of competitive shows on Sunday, while Epix looks back at the musical legacy of LA's Laurel Canyon, and Killing Eve's third season cuts to black. Here's what's new and noteworthy on TV this weekend:
