What's On Tonight (Thursday): Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match ...

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the season finale of Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker, airing on CW. I wasn't familiar with her until just now, but based on Stanger's Wikipedia page, it seems like The Matchmaker was a failed attempt at a comeback series.


While Mama continues to say there'll be days like this, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, June 13. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Brats, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. Premiere. "Brats explores the cultural phenomenon of films such as St. Elmo's Fire and The Breakfast Club that tapped into teenage angst and connected with young audiences in a way that had never been done before. The films earned a cult-like following but the 'Brat Pack' label would impact the young actors' careers in unexpected ways for decades to come. Director and Brat-Packer Andrew McCarthy, who rose to stardom in such films as Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire and Less Than Zero and wrote the New York Times bestselling memoir Brat: An '80s Story, goes right to the source, reuniting with his fellow Brat-Packers - friends, colleagues and former foes, many of whom he had not seen for over 30 years - to answer the question: What did it mean to be part of the Brat Pack?"
