What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Girls want a seat at South Park's games table

Hi! There is some new stuff on TV tonight, but the Top Pick is the animated veteran South Park. This time, some girls come to South Park and want into the gaming club Dice Studz, which doesn't go over well with everyone. Man... season 23. Elsewhere, Jeopardy! continues its Tournament of Champions and country music awards itself. But most proudly, American Horror Story wraps up and I never made it the top pick. It has been over-represented in the top spot through the years, so it gets what it deserved. I'd rather have Cake (and cake) anyway. Why have a litter of preppies when you can have little studmuffins like me, here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, November 13!
