Hi, honey! I'm home! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, December 16!
Tonight's Top Pick goes to a show that is finishing up its eighth season and you probably didn't even know it existed: Family Time. The sitcom is about the Stallworths, a working-class family bumped to the middle class after a winning lottery ticket. So they move on up and everyone has a little trouble adjusting, though these days its a more standard family sitcom.
Elsewhere, we see the worlds beyond the Ring, CMT remembers Charley Pride, Bishop Juan Gerardi's murder gets documentary treatment, the Yorkshire Ripper gets docuseries treatment, the SEALs help a friend, and Massimo defeats Dominic.
