What's On Tonight (Sunday): These Vera sisters work like a Charmed

Charmed

D'oh! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, March 21!

Third season's the charm! Yep, it took 3 seasons for Charmed to be the Top Pick. Maybe these good witches (Macy, Mel, Maggie) aren't as charming as we expected? I only lasted 6 episodes before switching off the show, despite spending an entire summer watching the original with Pru, Piper, and Phoebe. I really tried to enjoy the new one and while I appreciated its revamp of the show's lore and diversity within the "Power of Three," it was too twee and convoluted for my taste.

Elsewhere, The Simpsons turns 700(!), Batwoman gets tested, Dwight saves the Swine & Slosh tavern, the First Doctor faces Nero, the Second Doctor gets animated, Aretha Franklin is a Genius, there's a Gloaming murder in Australia, HBO investigates Q, Jill Wagner solves a murder Mystery, and snacks are a Modern Marvel.
