What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Let's end this like we should and say we're Good

Good American Family

Only one more month of Emmy consideration! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 30!

Our Top Pick tonight is the finale of Good American Family (Hulu, midnight). This limited series dramatizes the real case of Natalia Grace, who was adopted but later abandoned when her parents said she had been lying about her age. This last episode sees the case concluding in court (and court of public opinion). Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass are the parents with Imogen Faith Reid as Natalie, her first non-stunt role. The first 2 episodes were okay. That's as far as I've gotten. I'm not sure this needed 8 episodes.

ElsewhereHouse of Payne is still a show, to survive means gettin' rice, Matt Walsh spins the Wheel, the affects of Vietnam get docuseries treatment, Krapopolis gets glued, Harry Hamlin is back In the Kitchen, Jean Charles de Menezes is shot, and the Cheese is fishing.
