What's On Tonight (Monday): Cause I'm a free bitch, baby!

 

Via Tumblr.

Tonight's Top Pick is the season finale of Bad Romance -- A Special Edition of 20/20. It really doesn't have anything to do with the Lady Gaga song, but we can say the same thing about Poker Face.


While I prepare my series Paparazzi, which is really just a stealth remake of Rodney Dangerfield's Easy Money, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, March 11. All times are EST.


STREAMING
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Premiere. "The series, from Jeff Jenkins Productions, follows patriarch Steve McBee, the hard-working founder of the family business, and his four sons: Steven Jr., the business-minded heir apparent, Cole, the underdog who works hard in the field, Jesse, the quiet cowboy, and Brayden, who has the least interest in farming." 10 episodes available. Also airing once a week at 11 p.m. Mondays on USA.
