What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Don't call it a Comeback

 

Oh, thank goodness for the lights. I completely forgot who was singing. Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is Reinventing Elvis: The '68 Comeback, a documentary streaming on Paramount+. This Wednesday marks 46 years since his death. I should look up when Elvis sightings were first reported.


I bet the girl in "Kentucky Rain" would have stayed if she knew Elvis would tell her what was on TV. In that spirit, let's consider what Tuesday, Aug. 15 has to offer us.
