What's On Tonight (Tuesday): A Matter of Surviving

Tonight's Top Pick is Surviving Ohio State, the HBO documentary about Richard Strauss' 20 years as a sexual abuser of nearly 200 student atheletes. It's directed by Eva Orner and produced by George Clooney.

While I can only hope that the victims have experienced catharsis, if not peace, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, June 17. All listings are Eastern.
