What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Ordinary Average guy

The Greatest Average American

Happy Earth Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 22!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season finale of The Greatest Average American (ABC, 9 p.m. / Hulu, Thursday). This game show hosted by Nate Bargatze didn't make any sort of splash in its freshman season, and ABC hasn't seemed to key on promoting it. All the questions and challenges are about the typical American life.

Elsewhere, the Sisters are back, Invincible can't stop the end of its season, Criminal Record still exists, Margo has a friend, Nova is the bomb, Shark Tank ends another season, Disney hangs with an Orangutan, Zach Galifianakis goes Gardening, Lainey Wilson gets documentary treatment, and Abbott goes to PECSA.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
