What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Four Weddings and many finales

Four Weddings and a Funeral (via Giphy)
It's the end of television as we know it! Or at least the 2018-19 season, which winds down with many finales this Wednesday and next. The highlight tonight is the miniseries remake Four Weddings and a Funeral, which I'm not sure anyone here kept up on. I briefly tried. Tonight is also the last call for baby animals, Australian wildlife, the 90210 gang, Not-Mickey, the Bordelons of Louisiana, snow drugs, and Sherman & his showcase, among others. But that's not all! There are a handful of new 9/11 documentaries and a new slate from a network called BYUtv, which I'm listing because I get that network. Why do I get it? I have no idea. There aren't many Mormons in rural Iowa. So sock it to me, here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, September 11!
