| A Million Little Things (via TV Fanatic) |
Blessed be the fruit! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 12!
Tonight's Top Pick is the 49th episode of ABC's A Million Little Things, the alphabet network's attempt at emotion-manipulating melodrama à la This Is Us. After a death, friends rally around one another and lots of drama happens, plus secrets. So many (poorly conceived) secrets. Not to mention the source material.
Elsewhere, we meet the Upshaws, Nova explores infertility, gardeners get a competition show, Erica Goldberg still isn't over a breakup, we go back to The Hills, Nancy Drew meets a billionaire, Queen Teresa firms her grip on Europe, and there's a fire station garage sale.
