| Bridge and Tunnel |
Say cheese! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, January 31!
Tonight's Top Pick is Epix's 1980-set Bridge and Tunnel, about six Long Island friends reuniting four years after high school. It is, uh, soapy. Photographer Jimmy wants to get back together with fashion designer Jill though their futures are going in opposite directions. Old hookups Mikey and Stacey want to get hot and heavy while Pags and Tammy are complicated, too. Oh, and lots of Long Island accents!
Elsewhere, a fat doggie needs special care, 60 Minutes examines Big Genealogy, Ryan struggles with being the Bat, Elizabeth Carmichael gets docuseries treatment, Haley Atwell has a slave, and it's Frank and Kev vs. the Milkoviches.
