| Thomas Jefferson |
At least he knows where France is! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, February 19!
Our Top Pick tonight is Thomas Jefferson (History, 8 & 9 p.m.). This is the latest mulit-night docudrama from History, following in the footsteps of shows like Grant, Lincoln, and Washington. These have had diminishing returns in recent years, but they can still be somewhat enlightening, especially in trying to make these god-like national figures complex, human, and quite flawed. The quality and necessity of the reenactments are what has really lagged.
Elsewhere, Leighton Meester is a Good Cop, Nature goes to the Natural History Museum, Death returns to Paradise, Chili's sponsors Lifetime content, Shrek is Masked, Disney students give a point of view, Spidey fight a final battle, and Nazis have Secrets.
