What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Red scare

The Blacklist

Happy Final Hanging-Episode for the Emmys Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, June 16!

Summer is here and the TV options are slow! Tonight's Top Pick is the return of The Blacklist, which comes to Wednesday for its final two episodes of its eighth season. (I gave up trying to get points out of it.) I haven't watched the adventures of criminal mastermind turned FBI informant Raymond Reddington since season two. It was Fine with a capital F.

Elsewhere, Loki (like Red) is also helping an authoritative entity, the Handmaid wants justice, South African penguins get docuseries treatment, Dave is still trying to find his breakthrough, MasterChef goes butter, Posers play Pyramid, and Bold Typers make difficult decisions.
