What's On Tonight (Wednesday): They've got Spirits, yes they do

School Spirits

They're no Superman! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, February 25!

Our Top Pick tonight is School Spirits (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). This supernatural drama set in Split River, Wisconsin, is in its third season. The synopsis for the show began with Maddie (Peyton List) adjusting to high school in the afterlife while also investigating her own disappearance. She couldn't leave the school grounds, too. The show has evolved from there, but I'm not up on recent seasons. I enjoyed what I saw, and it's nice to see Peyton List find a decent vehicle.

Elsewhere, Scrubs lives, Survivor begins the big five-O.Nate Bargatze seeks the Average Greatest, NatGeo goes Inside the CIAShrinking unites over love, Lost Women of Alaska returns, Priyanka Chopra Jonas fights some bucs, and Nova goes to Gobekli Tepe.
