What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Pixar-omon

Win or Lose

The prize has eyes! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, February 26!

Our Top Pick tonight is Win or Lose (Disney+, 3 a.m.). This Pixar series tells the story of a middle school softball team in the week leading up to their championship game with each episode told from a different character for a point of view. Hopefully this is of the quality of Dream Productions and not Monsters at Work, but more noteworthy is that this is a fully original series.

Elsewhere, Shoresy returns, HBO keeps its Eyes on the Prize, a new tribe speaks, Berlin goes to the ER, a reality murder is in Paradise, Wild Cards goes Hitchcock, Nova investigates the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, the Rat Pack gets Masked, and a crypto bro needs a Cop.

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