What's On Tonight (Monday): It's time to get loko!

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is American Dad!, with the episode "Steve, Snot and the Quest for the OG Four Loko." I think I tried maybe 1-2 Four Lokos in my day, but I remember what a big, big deal it was when it seemed like they were going to be taken off the market for good. At college, many lamented the "Lokopocalypse."


While I look back and remember that I had little to be morally superior about -- lots and lots of Milwaukee's Best -- let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, Nov. 27. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Steeltown Murders, 3:01 a.m., Acorn. Premiere. "It's 2002 in Port Talbot, and on hearing that the CID are looking to reopen two sexually motivated murder cases from 1973, DCI Paul Bethell jumps at the opportunity to lead the investigation. Following two vividly different timelines, we also revisit the tragic events of '73 to see both a small Welsh community devastated by grief, and Paul as a junior officer who is adamant not to make the same mistakes that he and the force had made once before." Four episodes available.
