What's On Tonight (Wednesday): New Peter, same powers and responsibilities

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Circle gets the square! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, January 29!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (Disney+, 3 a.m.). This new animated series takes place in an alternative timeline of the MCU, focusing on Peter Parker's early days as Spider-Man (Hudson Thames) and where Norman Osborn (Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo), not Tony Stark, becomes his mentor. I'm intrigued by the animation styles. (The title sounds like it's some Disney Junior show.) Seasons 2 and 3 are already in the works.

Elsewhere, Chicago is all in as One crossover event, there's a Manhunt for O.J., Mythic Quest returns, All American is still kickin', Abbott takes a tour, Gears deals grief, and Roy Wood Jr. answers in the form of a question.
