What's On Tonight (Monday): Daniel Radcliffe's back on TV? Why, it must be a Miracle!

Tonight's Top Pick is the season premiere of Miracle Workers. This season's milieu is after the apocalypse. I don't know if it's intentional, but when I watched the trailer, I felt a slight Flintstones vibe. Maybe it's just because "Scraps the Dog" seemed a bit Dino-ish. Of course, Daniel Radcliffe is hardly Jackie Gleason ...


Then again, who among us is Jackie Gleason? And if that's the case, then who's the guy they buried in '87? While I consider these questions, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, July 10. All times are EST.
