| Nancy Drew |
I feel like the prettiest girl at the dance! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, August 23!
Our Top Pick tonight is the series finale of Nancy Drew (The CW, 8 p.m.). As I remember noting in its first Top Pick-ing, the show has little in common with the original series other than its character names and setting. Still, the show improved even as it veered into a show about the supernatural, and the cast gelled. (I still don't think the confrontational early arcs were necessary.) However, I have started to checkout of the last few episodes. The characters are so brooding and exceedingly angsty.
Elsewhere, school's out in Riverdale, the Invasion is back on, Afterparty finds footage, Euthanasia has an accident, Gloria Estefan seeks her Superfan, America's allegedly Got Talent, and Bishop Sycamore Centurions isn't real.
