What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Feed me!

Somebody Feed Phil

The tribe has spoken! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 25!

Our Top Pick tonight is the fifth season of the travel docuseries Somebody Feed Phil (Netflix, 3 a.m.). The is mostly a continuation of Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal's PBS series I'll Have What Phil's Having. Phil goes to a foreign city and takes in the local cuisines. The show even garnered a program Emmy nod in 2019. It's title sequence earned one, too. This is the show's fifth season and a sixth has already been filmed.

Elsewhere, the lone Survivor has outwitted, outlasted and outplayed, MasterChefs return, One Chicago rests, the Teen Titans pirate, The Flash is old, the Payne gets sticky, Nova investigates the peopling of the Americas, and Martha Stewart enjoys a Tag Sale.

⭐ Somebody Feed Phil (Netflix, 3 a.m.): SEASON 5. Where will Phil go? How many episodes will there be? All these are good questions. I read he will go to Oaxaca, Maine, Helsinki, Portland, and Madrid this season, which would be 5 episodes.✔️
