Tonight's Top Pick is the series finale of And Just Like That... It managed 33 episodes over three seasons, or less than the new Dallas or the new Night Court, but more than the new Frasier or the new Gossip Girl.

While I lament having few opportunities to dramatically throw up my hands upon meeting people, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Aug. 14. All times are Eastern.
