| Virgin River |
Sportsballs awards! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 20!
Our Top Pick tonight is the gentle romance drama Virgin River (Netflix, 3 a.m.). The soapy series, which has proven somewhat popular for its streamer, rolls out its fourth season about the lives of a small Northern California town. There's the nurse (Alexandra Breckenridge), the bartender (Martin Henderson), the mayor (Annette O'Toole), the doctor (Tim Matheson), the chef (Colin Lawrence), and more. For many people, I figure this show is off your radar. It comes off as Netflix's attempt at a Hallmark-esque relationship/community drama.
Elsewhere, Wellington has a fatberg problem, Grown-ish welcomes the next generation, athletes get ESPYs, the Bears go to Unica, and Ron Funches Cranks.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)

For years she yearned to be a mother, and her dream is one step closer to reality. While Jack is supportive and excited, the question of paternity continues to gnaw at him. Complicating matters is the arrival of a handsome new doctor, who’s in the market to start a family of his own."
