What's On Tonight (Tuesday): I did it all for The Rookie

 

Via Gfycat.

Tonight's Top Pick is The Rookie, which I originally just chose because it was one of the few Tuesday night network programs that hadn't gotten the Top Pick honor. It now turns out to be appropriate, since the show just got renewed for a sixth season. Can you believe this was the first gif I could find with Nathan Fillion?


While I renew my old crush on Eric Winter, let's see what TV has to offer us for Tuesday, April 18. All times are EST.
