What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Will Trent: Objectively hot or subjectively not? Discuss.

 

Via Giphy. He gets points for the dog.

Tonight's Top Pick is the debut of Will Trent, the newest glossy ABC drama. Based on a book series, it's about a special agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (Ramón Rodríguez) with a thing about making no one, person or animal, feel abandonned. I'll bet he likes to cuddle late at night, too.


Let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, Jan. 3. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Sometimes When We Touch, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. Premiere. "The untold story of soft rock, whose artists dominated pop music worldwide in the '70s, only to crash and burn in the '80s, eventually experiencing one of the most unlikely comebacks in music history. The series presents all-new interviews with some of soft rock's biggest legends, like Air Supply ("All Out of Love"), Dan Hill ("Sometimes When We Touch"), Kenny Loggins ("This Is It"), Ray Parker Jr. ("A Woman Needs Love"), Rupert Holmes ("Escape: The Piña Colada Song") and Toni Tennille ("Love Will Keep Us Together").
