| Love Island |
No soggy bottoms! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, August 17!
Our Top Pick tonight is the trashy reality show Love Island (Peacock, 9 p.m.) because I'm bitter that my long-intended Top Pick was yanked from Wednesdays. The dating show came stateside via CBS, but Peacock picked it up for this season and next. Episodes premiere 5 nights a week with a recap on Saturdays. It is peak trash TV with a bunch of young people trying to hook up and maybe find an actual significant other.
Elsewhere, BET gets Vicious, HSM is in disarray, kids do the Baking, Grown-ish loses a roommate, Lili Reinhart looks Both Ways, Sacrifice goes linear, and relationships are Trash

STREAMING & EARLY PRIMETIME
High School Musical: The Series (Disney+, 3 a.m.): After a spooktacular night in the woods, the cast of Frozen have their first read-through. But the Wildcats are in disarray from Corbin Bleu's documentary crew and a camper's sudden disappearance.
Junior Baking Show (Netflix, 3 a.m.): SEASON ONE. It's The Great British Bake Off but with kids.
🎥 Look Both Ways (Netflix, 3 a.m.): On the eve of her college graduation, Natalie's (Lili Reinhart) life diverges into parallel realities: one in which she becomes pregnant and remains in her hometown to raise her child and another in which she moves to LA to pursue her dream career.✔️
📺 The Powerpuff Girls (HBO Max / Hulu, now): The reboot a few years ago didn't work out for clear reasons, and The CW live-action remake isn't dead. But that didn't stop the announcement last week that another animated reboot of the Cartoon Network classic is in early development. Professor Utonium's creations Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup might still rise again to save us from Mojo Jojo.

💲 People Puzzler (GSN, 6 p.m.)

Vicious (BET, 8 p.m.): SERIES PREMIERE. Fashion designer Chantel Vivian's (Tami Roman) success is overshadowed by her narcissistic husband (Redaric Williams), addiction, unresolved childhood traumas, and dysfunctional personal life.
