What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Wake up Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you

Maggie

Please cast your vote to evict! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 6!

Our Top Pick tonight is the new comedy Maggie (Hulu, midnight), which has no relation to neither the 1981 Erma Bombeck-created sitcom nor the 1998 Lifetime sitcom starring Ann Cusack. This Maggie was originally set for ABC but moved to Hulu in January. To be fair, a psychic trying to navigate the dating world doesn't mesh with ABC's current — and shrinking — comedy slate.

Elsewhere, CBS all stars assemble, Wellington searches for Wally, David Attenborough loves planets, Crank Yankers makes calls, Steve Backshall is adventuring again, and Ms. Marvel is almost finished.

πŸŽ₯ Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between (Netflix, 3 a.m.): After making a pact to break up before college, Talia Ryder and Jordan Fisher retrace the steps of their relationship on one last epic date, revisiting familiar and unexpected places as they question: stay together or say goodbye forever?
