What's On Tonight (Wednesday): The Pitch is back

Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin

Neat. Sweet. Petite! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, November 23!

Our Top Pick tonight is the latest movie to TV project Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin (Peacock, 3 a.m.). The reason I'm interested in this is because the lead couple is the couple that should have been together on Modern Family. The show follows Bumper Allen (Adam Devine), of PP2 and PP3, as he finds fame in Germany, where a song of his is a massive hit. Flula Borg also reprises his PP2 role of Pieter Krämer. Sarah Hyland and Jameela Jamil also star.

Elsewhere, Chucky closes an exceptional season, Wednesday Addams goes to school, Echo 3 searches for a missing loved one, PBS loves King Tut, Santa finds a new Claus, traffic is a Quest, a Partner finds her dad, Sherman airs a final Showcase, and Andor has a final say.

It taught me a lot about the world.
