What's On Tonight (Thursday): Right here where we live

 

Via Giphy.

With some reluctance, tonight's Top Pick is It Couldn't Happen Here. They're profiling Wahpeton this time around, specifically the Andrew Sadek case. This week marks the eighth anniversary of my first article on the situation. I've covered it from various angles over the years. At the same time, I've never felt like enough of an authority to speak at length about the topic.


In light of the subject matter, no joking tonight. Let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, April 25. All times are EST.
