Spring TV Preview: 30 Shows to Look For

Debuts April 7 on HBO. Every year, HBO is good for at least one based-on-a-true-story drama seemingly engineered to dominate the Emmys' TV movie categories. This spring's exemplar is a Barry Levinson-directed examination of the recent Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal that rocked Penn State's college football program, with the film focusing mainly on a two-week period when the story first became public. Al Pacino stars as the late Penn State football coaching legend Joe Paterno, and his co-stars include Riley Keough, Kathy Baker, and Greg Grunberg. Oh, and Anthony Scaramucci is credited as a producer on the film, so perhaps you'll see him at the Emmys this fall.
