What's new on TV for Wednesday, July 8, 2020
Play Ultimate Tag with SEAL Team and The Conners
Think about it. What if we took half of tonight's prime-time shows and turned them into a SINGLE PRIME-TIME BLOCK OF AWESOME. Take The Conners and pair them up against SEAL Team and stick them all in the Ultimate Tag arena. Then let 'em just kinda go at each other for a while.
Then the *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. show up and just kind of blast everyone with some sort of ray gun, and that's the end of all that.
Or, we can just keep on reading for the rest of what's on TV today. All times are Eastern.
