What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Med could be your post-election antidote tonight

Chicago Med

1,462 days to Election Day 2028! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, November!

Our Top Pick tonight is Chicago Med (NBC, 8 p.m. / Peacock, Thursday). Crafted by Dick Wolf, this newer One Chicago addition to the trio is now in its 10th season. TEN! This Top Pick episode of a show I haven't watched since season one will be the 677th in the Chicago franchise. I still find it odd that it has S. Epatha Merkerson and Oliver Platt when they are already in this TV universe via Wolf's L&O franchise.

Elsewhere, Meet Christina Milian Next ChristmasAbbott bonds, Tyler Henry is Live, Alan Cumming visits Homes, biodiversity comes to San Diego, the cops come for the Fire station, WBD begins Feuds, and Tubi recalls the Grim Sleeper.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
