What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Just another Small Town murder

Courtesy People.

Tonight's Top Pick is Murder in a Small Town, which has three more episodes including tonight's left of its second season. I'll be honest with you, I keep forgetting this show exists, so once again, I'm being a bit merciful with the Top Pick designation.


While I tell myself that there's still plenty of time to recognize Ken Burns' The American Revolution, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, Nov. 18. All times are Eastern.
