What's On Tonight (Thursday): It's not enough to simply want a Wife, you've got to earn one

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is Farmer Wants a Wife, because I continue to want to highlight each regularly-airing series when it's my turn to do WOT posts. Hopefully there's more integrity with this game than The Golden Bachelor.


While I mull over the his and hers pitchforks or the combine-shaped loveseat, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, April 18. All times are EST.
