What's On Tonight (Tuesday): This Quiz has Balls

 

Via Talpa Studios.

Tonight's Top Pick is the debut of America's The Quiz With Balls, premiering on FOX. Families compete in teams of five. Wrong answers get contestants knocked by a big ball and sent into the pool. It's an hour long.

While I marvel at how much time can be wasted in an hour, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, May 28. All times are EST.
