What's On Tonight (Thursday): Jesus Christ, now Eva Longoria has her own Welcome to Wrexham?!

Tonight's Top Pick is Necaxa, debuting on FXX. In the show, Eva "sets out to reignite the soul of one of Mexico's oldest and most storied football clubs, Club Necaxa - enlisting the help of fellow owners Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds, fresh off their headline-making revival of Wrexham AFC."

While I wager that the next famous person(s) to jump on this trend will be Mark and/or Donnie Wahlberg, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Aug. 7. All times are Eastern.

Nothing on the farm seems to have changed, except Jake (Trevor Donovan), Annie's childhood friend who recently traded in fast-paced city life for something more intentional.
