Tonight is also the series premiere of Ride with Norman Reedus on AMC at 10/9c. The show follows The Walking Dead fan-favorite star and motorcycle enthusiast as he hits the open road to explore local biker culture and celebrate the best and brightest collectors, mechanics and craftsmen around the country. Each one-hour installment will feature Reedus with a riding companion — notable guests include Peter Fonda, Robert Rodriguez, and Balthazar Getty — as they journey to new destinations throughout the United States, including North Carolina, Florida, California, Nevada, Texas, and Louisiana. Reedus and friends stop by various locales such as custom bike shops, tattoo parlors, collector’s warehouses, or a roadside smokehouse. [Note from Jenny: One of my best friends lives in North Carolina and got to meet Reedus when he was there filming. Awesome!]

Tonight is also the series premiere of Animal Kingdom on TNT at 9/8c, followed by a 2nd new episode at 10/9c. After his mother dies of a heroin overdose, Joshua ‘J’ Cody moves in with his estranged grandmother, Janine “Smurf” Cody in Southern California. He soon finds himself drawn into a dark world funded by criminal activities that he’s been shielded from for years, as she and his uncles plan their upcoming heist. J must prove his loyalty to stay alive, all the while learning that Smurf is the intense, beguiling and complicated matriarch who rules over “her boys” with a borderline incestuous love. The show stars Shawn Hatosy, Scott Speedman, Ellen Barkin, Ben Robson, Daniella Alonso, Finn Cole, Jake Weary, & Molly Gordon.
Tonight is also the 1-hour series premiere of Uncle Buck on ABC at 9/8c. This new comedy is based on the hit movie of the same name. Mike Epps is Buck, a fun-loving but irresponsible guy who needs a job and a place to stay. By happy coincidence, his nieces and nephew’s nanny has just quit and his brother and sister-in-law need his help. His unconventional personality just may make him the right fit for the family and they may be the answer to his problems, too. The show also stars Nia Long as Alexis, James Lesure as Will, Iman Benson as Tia, Sayeed Shahidi as Miles, and Aalyrah Caldwell as Maizy.
Tonight is also the series premiere of Famously Single on E! at 10/9c. This new one-hour, eight episode series moves the eight love-challenged celebrities (Pauly D, Brandi Glanville, Willis McGahee, Aubrey O’Day, Josh Murray, Jessica White, Calum Best, and Somaya Reece) into a loft based in downtown Los Angeles together, where relationship expert Dr. Darcy Sterling will help these stars come to terms with the cold hard truths behind their questionable romantic history. Through a series of exercises, one-on-one sessions and real dates, viewers will get a voyeuristic bird’s eye view of the stars’ emotional journeys as they learn how to find love. The celebs will be paired up for most exercises resulting in the perfect balance of conflict and chemistry as they challenge each other through their relationship-rehab.
Finally, tonight is the 1-hour series premiere of Wrecked on TBS at 10/9c. This is a single-camera comedy that centers on a diverse group of survivors adjusting to being stranded on an uninhabited island, a dangerous new world where they must face many threats — mostly brought on by themselves. No longer plugged into the rest of the world, the group struggles to navigate their makeshift society while also learning to live without such modern comforts as indoor plumbing, Wi-Fi, social media and Chipotle. The show stars Ally Maki, Asif Ali, Brian Sacca, Brooke Dillman, George Basil, Ginger Gonzaga, James Scott, Jessica Lowe, Rhys Darby, Will Greenberg, & Zach Cregger.

— Jenny
I wish I had known about this site earlier (as the commenter last week said), this is an excellent service for us time-shifted folk.
Question- Is it possible to start listing “Ghost Adventures” as “Ghost Adventures – Aftershocks”? The last new episode of Ghost Adventures was actually March 26, 2016, not tonight.
Oh, sure. 🙂 I can do that. And thank you!
