Hello everybody--Did you guys know that Better Things was back tonight??? I was legit surprised when i saw that in the listings tonight...I did not know that was coming back this soon--I always regarded it as a fall show. Who knew??? Also there's an all day and all night long King of Queens marathon happening on Lifetime for some reason today. Did they like just get the rights to the series or something??? Anyways this is What's On for March 5th 2020

(Wait i thought Tammy dumped Chef Rudy; Also what was Adam's problem again? Was he a gambling addict or something???

(Does that mean its also the final one as well or not?) Either way CaliCheese has you covered as she offers up her usual live blog for it should you choose to watch it.

Tommy (CBS): When a concert promoter who is accused of defrauding his customers takes hostages in a restaurant, Tommy and Cooper and Diaz must manage the situation until she can arrive on scene; 2 city council members refuse to sign Tommy's new budget proposal. (That B storyline doesn't quite sound as exciting as that A storyline) (Also this sounds exactly like a plotline from SWAT, when i thought the show was gonna be more or less Blue Bloods like but out west no?)

Law and Order Special Victims Unit (NBC): Rerun of the episode that had Aerial Winter (of Modern Family) guest starring as a young rape victim whose memory of the incident is blurred and must work with Benson to try and get pertinent details to get a lead on the perp.

Impractical Jokers (TRU TV): And Lastly for the night we have the season finale of this long running show (Season 8 Baby!) where "The guys pitch their whimsical tv show ideas to focus groups; then they go to the park with their daughters who all share unappealing opinions with strangers; and the loser heads to the spa for an electrifying punishment that is 2 years in the making." (The episode is titled "Its Electric" and Good for them guys for having successfully impractically joked people for 8 years now! That can't be an easy thing to keep going as long as they have!)
