What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Call Kyra Sedgwick

Call Your Mother

See tahay! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, January 13!

Top Pick goes to the new ABC sitcom Call Your Mother, starring Kyra Sedgwick as an Iowa mom who invades the life of her adult children in Los Angeles because she is a lonely empty nester. You know, typical mom activity. Poor Kyra. She deserves better. One of the trailers used "Best Day of My Life," which means it will suck. That song is the worst.

Elsewhere, One Chicago is (definitely?) back, ABC's other comedies are back, Nature goes to the Alps, actors try to start a new life chapter, Naomi tries to save her son, people come on down at night, and Somalia needs help.
