What's On Tonight (Monday): Ah, to hell with it, the Olympics is the Top Pick!

My specific choice is Primetime in Paris: The Olympics, airing at 8 p.m. on NBC. It will feature events like the women's gymnastics balance beam and floor. There, I did it. I made the Olympics a Top Pick.


While I hope that I won't have to do it twice, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, Aug. 5. All times are EST.

Futurama, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. "Quid's Game." "Bizarre aliens force the crew to reenact all the classic children's games Fry played at his 8th birthday party... except this time, they are played TO THE DEATH!"

Signora Volpe, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV/6 p.m., BBC America. "A Deadly Net." "Freelancing for MI6, Sylvia poses as the PA for a diplomat's widow at her luxurious lakeside villa.
