| Name That Tune |
Dammit, Barry! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, February 8!
Our Top Pick tonight is the revival of Name That Tune (Fox, 9 p.m.). This is the 6th(ish) national version of the music game show that has contestants guessing songs to win money. It started on radio in the 1950s and quickly began a successful TV run. Like all primetime broadcast game shows, this one is pretty padded and the current season is all celebrity contestants, but the song selection pulls from many genres and eras. However, don't expect the tunes being guessed in the 1950s to be heard in the current one.
Elsewhere, Gina Rodriguez is not Dead, The Ark is in chaos, South Park is more than a quarter-century old, National Treasure reaches its Edge, Abbott Elementary studies CRT, Bill Russell is a Legend, the Vanderpumps are back, and The Flash returns for its final stretch.
