WEDNESDAY’S BEST PICKS
8 PM * United We Fall This new sitcom stars Will Sasso and Christina Vidal Mitchell as Bill and Jo, parents of two young kids, who are just trying to make it day to day as a functioning family.
Her large Latinx Catholic family never hesitates to let them know when they’re falling short, but the household tension level really ratchets up when Sandy (Jane Curtin), Bill’s relentlessly judgmental mother, moves in with them.
Guillermo Diaz also stars. Another new episode immediately follows.
8 PM ( HGTV) Property Brothers In the new episode “Flashback: Irina and Dean,” Drew and Jonathan Scott share helpful insights as they rework the layout of a couple’s home to accommodate their unexpected family of four. The brothers add a nursery and revamp the kitchen, living and dining rooms. Then, as if that’s not enough, Drew and Jonathan surprise their delighted clients with a master bedroom makeover.
8 PM ( LIFE) Married at First Sight This combination reality show and social experiment docuseries opens Season 11 as “The Story Begins” for 10 single people in New Orleans. Their nerves are on edge, understandably, since each is about to marry a complete stranger. One groom’s true motives for participating already are called into question at his bachelor party, which takes a wild turn. For one of the brides to be, the discovery of her husband’s identity the night before the wedding leaves her deeply unsettled.
8:30 PM ( FS1) NASCAR Cup Series Yes, it’s a nonpoints event but that won’t stop competitors from giving their all in tonight’s NASCAR All-Star Race. It’ll be “boys have at it” racing as race winners from this and last season, as well as all past event winners and previous Cup champions go at it on the half-mile oval of Bristol Motor Speedway. So expect the likes of Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson to be among those in the field. 10 PM ( BET) American Soul Don Cornelius (Sinqua Walls) looks to secure a new talk show with the network even as he is battling a crippling migraine in the Season 2 finale, “So Long, Sucker.” Since surviving what they now realize was truly a near-death experience, Simone and JT (Katlyn Nichol, Christopher Jefferson) only feel more driven to search for their own independence and win over Aiya’s (Jaxon Rose Moore) foster parents.
10 PM ( TRU) At Home With Amy Sedaris “Signature Dishes” is the theme and title of tonight’s new episode, which finds Amy (Amy Sedaris) preparing her famous ginger snap recipe, which she hopes will be sanctioned by the Culinary Academy. Those plans may turn stale, though, once food critic Janice Shanks accuses Amy of plagiarizing the recipe. Meanwhile, Patty Hogg (Sedaris again) feels her vegetarian goose liver salad was snubbed by the academy.
10:05 PM ( LIFE) The Baby Factory:
Alabama A busy maternity ward in
Montgomery, Ala., is the setting for this new special, which also serves as a pilot for a prospective series. Both the joys and pains of childbirth are unfolding as doctors and nurses at the facility share their perspectives on the unique challenges and circumstances they face daily as they deliver babies. During this hour, expectant father Adonis races to the hospital to bear witness as Willariea gives birth to their twin daughters, who are arriving a few weeks early.
