What's On Tonight (Tuesday): C'mon, One and Done points ...

 

Via Tumblr.

It's Season Finale night for ABC's Tuesday shows, and I'm paying special attention to The Rookie: Feds. At this point, if it's cancelled, it would earn both +100 for death after eight or more episodes, plus +75 for One and Done, when a series goes a whole season without getting an early renewal or early cancellation.


While I continue to come up with new Cancellation League shenanigans, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, May 2. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Jimmy O. Yang: Guess How Much?, 12:01 a.m., Amazon. Premiere. "Yang dives into love languages, loser friends and negotiating with his Asian parents."

In this explosive limited series, viewers will learn of the connection that links the two stories and could corroborate the brothers' decades-old accusations against their father, Jose Menendez. One former Menudo member could be the key to changing how the public views the brothers' case while simultaneously crusading for his own justice."
