Fear the Walking Dead (via Tumblr) |
Ahoy! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, November 22!
Top Pick goes to that zombie spinoff that has been on 6(!) seasons: Fear the Walking Dead. I haven't watched the show since its first season — it was super "meh" — but it hasn't been a Top Pick since our AV Club days. And it hasn't been the title Top Pick (ie in the headline and head image) in more than 4 years. So all I can say is... FTWD is still a thing!
Elsewhere, Dolly Parton does Christmas, John Belushi gets documentary treatment, Eric Andre finishes his season, Buddy Valastro fights Christmas, Snapped celebrates 500, Taraji P. Henson hosts the AMAs, Maggie Cole is out of trouble, and The Outpost lands on Sundays.
