Alison Herman TV Critic The protagonist of “Grimsburg” looks and acts nothing like Jon Hamm, though the actor lends his voice — and backing as an executive producer — to the lead of Fox’s latest animated sitcom. Detective Marvin Flute is a scruffy, potbellied deadbeat who’s somewhat skilled at solving crimes, if nowhere near as much as he thinks he is.

This more humbly scaled actioner likewise finds its uber-tough erstwhile operative reluctantly forced back into activity amid a conspiratorial hail of bullets. From that shared starting point, Brian Buccellato’s script finds its own path.

Jon Hamm and wife Anna Osceola are getting some fresh air on a post Christmas walk.

We’ve all grown to know her as the two-time Emmy nominated actress from “When They See Us” and “Lovecraft Country” and her Oscar-nominated performance in “King Richard,” all of which came under her initial professional name: Aunjanue Ellis.
