What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Dammit, Barry!

The Flash

We are The Flash! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 24!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series finale of The Flash (The CW, 8 p.m.). The superhero show was the Arrow spinoff that helped kick Arrowverse into high gear. Remember when The CW was all about that Arrowverse. After 9 seasons of fast, The Flash is the only proper Arrowverse title still standing. Not that much of the original cast is still there, but Barry is and his wife/once-adoptive-ish sister, Iris... it's weird. I bailed last season after the Armageddon opening as it had been limping along for a long time, rather sad for this once WOT Top Pick favorite.

Elsewhere, Jeopardy! finds a MasterAmerican Born Chinese kids face gods, One Chicago goes on break, ABC loves Pranks, the Class of '09 has consequences, Guru Bob is in the High DesertNora joins a cartel, Roy and Keeley worry (not about Ted), Gordon Ramsey searches for the Stars, and Mayans M.C. is still a thing.
