What's On Tonight (Monday): Aw, Son of a Critch ...

 

Via Tenor.

Tonight's Top Pick is the season finale of Son of a Critch, which seems more likeable than I expected. Ah, but I am a sucker for a nostalgic coming of age story. For the record, this is 1980s Newfoundland, Canada.


While I keep mulling over the possibilities of a sitcom about life in West Michigan during the Dubya years, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, Oct. 9. All times are EST.
