What's On Tonight (Tuesday): 2024 out!

 

Via Gifer.

Tonight's Top Pick is Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2025, which is airing in three parts on ABC. Two primetime blocks and the late night block, which starts at 11:30 p.m. I could have picked any of the New Year's broadcasts, but Dick's was the one my family watched.

While I wish you all another auld lang syne, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, Dec. 31. All times are EST.
