What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Murder was the case and Chicago P.D. blames me

Chicago P.D. (via Giphy)

Happy Veterans Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, November 11!

While all of One Chicago is back tonight, Top Pick goes Chicago P.D., the one show that didn't get the top spot last season. Will this show successfully pivot from its tough-police ways after what has happened since the show last aired in April? I doubt it. But it is sure as hell gonna try and will believe in itself.

Elsewhere, S.W.A.T. also returns and attempts to wake up, WWII gets animated treatment, Aunt Donna comes to the states, the CMA gives awards, housewives from Salt Lake City get a show, relics and more crime are new series subjects, and Colbert has a great guest lineup.
