What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Oh, now, who's going to take care of this mess?

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is The Cleaning Lady, because it has the most interesting episode title of the day, "From the Ashes." The runner up is Will Trent, with "Why Is Jack's Arm Bleeding?"

While I reflect on the lost art of good episode titles, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, May 7. All times are EST.
