What's On Tonight (Monday): So you think you can watch So You Think You Can Dance ...

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the 18th season finale of So You Think You Can Dance, airing on FOX. It was either going to be this or The Voice, and that gets another chance tomorrow.


While I lament how the Gershwins would be disgusted at my own lack of rhythm, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, May 20. All times are EST.
