What's On Tonight (Wednesday): When privates go public

Pam & Tommy

Hey there! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, March 9!

Our top pick tonight is the grand finale for the miniseries concept that most definitely didn't need to be a miniseries: Pam & Tommy (Hulu, midnight). The 8-episode series stars Lily James and Sebastian Stan as former celebrity couple Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, who filmed some of their more, um, intimate times, together. The film was then stolen and sold (enter Seth Rogan and Nick Offerman) on the relatively young world wide web. Pam and Tommy didn't like that, obvs. I don't think the miniseries is that bad, but it really stretches material.

Elsewhere, The Last Kingdom falls, Teen Titans learn about health insurance, Callie and Mariana get into more Good Trouble, new Survivors wanna survive, The CW is Kung Fu fighting, South Park plays with Airsofts, a Ryan Murphy-produced docuseries revisits the life of Andy Warhol, Fox plays with Dominos, and The Flash's kids have to fix the timeline.

πŸ“Ί Roswell (Hulu / Tubi, now): Shiri Appleby and Majandra Delfino made this often overly melodramatic teen alien drama from the early '00s, which is based on a series of young adult books, a watchable experience.
