| Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist |
Happy Bunny Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 4!
The Top Pick is the delightful musical dramedy Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, and tonight, Zoey (Jane Levy) turns the big 3-0. The musical aspect happens only to Zoey, a programmer (and now office boss) who hears people's thoughts as any number of top 40 songs. She also has close friends (+ potential romances) and plenty of personal conflicts/drama. Yeah, the show is pretty structurally fragile, but it works so freaking well. I love Zoey.
Elsewhere, screen actors pick their best of 2020, Harvey Birdman's daughter becomes CEO, Negan gets a backstory, 60 Minutes investigates Gov. Ron DeSantis, Norwegian Crown Princess Märtha fights for her country, celebrities discover how WWII impacted their families, The Rookie gets an Amber Alert, and Q goes... Into the Storm?
