Yo! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, October 13!
Tonight's Top Pick is the third and final season of Liza on Demand (YouTube, noon). The show follows a standard sitcom format with Liza Koshy trying to get by and discover her life ambitions while attempting to make a living in the gig economy. It's not always a strong comedy and can be predictable, but Koshy is so darn adorable. This show is also the final premiere for YouTube's once-promising scripted programming ambitions.
Elsewhere, a new opioid is introduced to America, Chip 'n' Dale have one last acorn, the Legends are back today, the Conners face a wedding day tornado, The Sinner sins again, Batwoman and Batwing fight crime, the CSI team helps a friend, Nora might go home to Queens, Disney+ goes Just Beyond, cover bands get a competition show, and Lena Waithe's excellent Twenties is back.
