What's On Tonight (Thursday): Ooh, woo, she's a Rebel just for kicks now

via Giphy

Our top pick tonight is Rebel, Katey Sagal's new vehicle about "a blue-collar legal advocate without a law degree ... a funny, messy, brilliant and fearless woman who cares desperately about the causes she fights for and the people she loves." I'd scoff, but it's airing on ABC Thursday, so it's got an awfully good shot. I wonder if my mom would watch it.


Let's see what TV has to offer us for Thursday, April 8. All listings are EST.
