What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Med could be your post-election antidote tonight

Chicago Med

1,462 days to Election Day 2028! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, November!

Our Top Pick tonight is Chicago Med (NBC, 8 p.m. / Peacock, Thursday). Crafted by Dick Wolf, this newer One Chicago addition to the trio is now in its 10th season. TEN! This Top Pick episode of a show I haven't watched since season one will be the 677th in the Chicago franchise. I still find it odd that it has S. Epatha Merkerson and Oliver Platt when they are already in this TV universe via Wolf's L&O franchise.

Elsewhere, Meet Christina Milian Next Christmas, Abbott bonds, Tyler Henry is Live, Alan Cumming visits Homes, biodiversity comes to San Diego, the cops come for the Fire station, WBD begins Feuds, and Tubi recalls the Grim Sleeper.

If you haven't voted I don't know what to tell you. Either it's your fault for the hellscape that we wake up to tomorrow or you get to enjoy the Brave New World that we made for you.

I'm shoveling down curry far too fast. My rice is fabulous and the curry is not far behind. But I also have to leave in minutes to go see Tim Walz. And Eric Benet. You remember him. He's the R&B singer from Milwaukee who was married to Halle Berry. ETA: having Benet follow Walz was a....choice. It was a high energy affair though and Benet turned into a high energy cover band. I lucked into preferred seating - I don't know how. Maybe I'll get invited to the inauguration!

What's On Tonight (Tuesday): The Decision is ours

Because I like having a specific Top Pick, I'm choosing NBC's Decision 2024 to represent Election Night coverage. There's really nothing else of note today, other than the penultimate episode of the American Sports Story season.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): The best things in life are Chocolate

Like Water for Chocolate

Fall back! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, November 3!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Life Water for Chocolate (Max, 3 a.m. / HBO Latino, 8 p.m.). This Salma Hayek-Pinault produced retelling of the famous book and solid '90s movie, puts the story in miniseries form. I wasn't that thrilled when I heard about it, but the production quality looks solid. So... I'm in. I'm also a sucker for the story of revolution, forbidden love, and food.

Elsewhere, Krapopolis is time looped, 60 Minutes gears up for the election, Tracker tracks a woman whether she likes it or not, product placement joins the Franchise, Daryl wants to leave France, Simpsons have Horror, and Liam Payne gets a retrospective.

What's On Tonight (Saturday): Abortion is healthcare

Zurawski v Texas

Honey, I forgot to duck! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, November 2!

Our Top Pick tonight is Zurawski v Texas (via Eventive, 3:30 a.m.). This new documentary, which is still screening in the film festival circuit, profiles women in Texas who suffered health complications because of bad pregnancies and were denied an abortion. They file a lawsuit against the state. The reviews I read make me think this isn't for the squeamish. For example, you will see a newborn suffer and inevitably die within hours. The doc, which has producers such as Jennifer Lawrence, Hillary Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton, is Oscar eligible, so this is an opportune time for Oscar completeists. It is streaming for free only this weekend -- 3:30 a.m. Saturday through Sunday. Sign-up and see streaming rules here.

Elsewhere, Invincible Fight Girl enters the ring, Chappell Roan is Live from New York, Jelly Roll goes to the Limit, there's a One Piece revolt, Reagan dares to defy, and Julianne Nicholson is Janet, dammit.
