What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Come on down!

The Price Is Right at Night

Conjunction junction, what's your function? Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, February 1!

Our Top Pick tonight is the primetime game show The Price Is Right at Night (CBS, 8 p.m.). This evening edition plays a lot like the daytime show but usually has a common theme with the contestants. This week, the show welcomes superfans so (cautiously) have some expectations on how good the players will be at the games. But will they know how to spin the wheel?

Elsewhere, Schoolhouse Rock! sings its way to 50, the crew of The Ark endures, M. Night Shyamalan presents some Adult Swim pilots, a dog has Millions, The Proud Family returns, some Professionals bakers attempt to be Great, Mariana Van Zeller chases guns, and Grown-ish fears herpes.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
