What's On Tonight (Thursday): Have fun in hell!

 

Courtesy Deadline.

Tonight's Top Pick is the American debut of Everyone Else Burns, premiering on where else but The CW? Depicting a family of puritanical Christians, Burns is a British series, so I'll bet the satire is unmistakable. I just wish I didn't have the vibe that the hair and costumes (looking at you, dad and daughter) will be asked to carry a good deal of comedy.


While I have flashbacks about spaghetti fundraisers in the church basement, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Oct. 26. All times are EST.
