What's On Tonight (Sunday): Dumped by Netflix, Tuca & Bertie go for a Swim

Tuca & Bertie

Get Schwifty! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 20!

Tonight's Top Pick is the now-Adult Swim show Tuca & Bertie, which Netflix cancelled. While the animation is like its company sibling BoJack, the show is brighter and includes more sight gags as it follows the lives two bird BFFs. It spent the first season trying to find itself — the pilot was bad — but slowly improves to find a better balance of celebrating friendship and addressing adulthood anxiety. It's still a niche show and something that I think speaks better to the younger demo.

Elsewhere, the Harts, Moodys bid TV farewell, we no longer have to Keep Up with the Kardashian clan, the Legends continue searching for their captain, Evil is here, the Titans Go see Space Jam, Gumball is back again, Desus & Mero are back in the studio with an audience, Iris has her final Experience, Jesus celebrates the Feast of Tabernacles, and CNN digs deeper on the insurrection.
