What's On Tonight (Wednesday): We are family, I got all my Sistas with me

Sistas (via Tenor)

Happy Post-Election Day! Although you might be reading this and the results are still being tallied. The Top Pick is a not-too-good drama series, but that shouldn't be a surprise that it's from Tyler Perry. The BET drama Sistas, which is currently in its second season, follows a group of women and the soapy drama in their personal and professional lives. It's not the worst show from Tyler Perry, who writes and directs every episode.

ElsewhereThe A Word is finally back, Franklin wants to woo Anna-Kat, Darlene isolates herself, Nature profiles primates, the coroner is exhausted, and Secrets of the Dead searches for a mystery ship.
