What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Go nuts

Chip 'N' Dale: Park Life

That's hot! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, August 4!

Props to Disney+ for keeping Wednesday alive with new stuff that isn't reality/crime junk. Tonight's Top Pick is the kid-skewing Chip 'n' Dale: Park Life (Disney+, 3 a.m.), the latest project for the classic chipmunk duo, who are now living in a busy park. The show is non-verbal and is definitely aimed at children, plus each episode is comprised of three shorts. It is often silly and not something I really enjoyed.

Elsewhere, Barack Obama runs for president, Callie and Mariana judge people for trail, Hooch loves his squeaky toy, The Hills ends the Beginnings, Australia gets hot, Disney offers some experimental shorts, Paris Hilton cooks food, and Dave has too big of an ego.
