Are you ready for more great TV? There’s plenty to check out across the broadcast networks tonight, Sunday, April 20.

It may be Easter, but the broadcast networks still have new episodes of top TV shows. This may be risky for some of the shows, but this is a quieter holiday than the likes of Christmas and Thanksgiving. Plus, the weekend is needed with so few weeks left until finale season.

With so much on, it can be difficult to choose something to watch! This is why we have a selection of top picks.

4 shows to watch and 1 to skip tonight, Sunday, April 20

There’s no doubt that you’ll want to start the night with The Americas on NBC. This series still needs to be renewed, and it’s a great option to watch with the whole family. Tom Hanks continues to narrate a story about the wildlife around the American continents. This episode takes us behind the scenes to see how the series was created.

After that, switch over to FOX. There are two animated comedies worth checking out. Krapopolis is on first, and it has already been renewed. If you haven’t seen it yet, now is a great chance to learn more about it and see if it’s something worth catching up on via Hulu. After that, stick with The Great North. The animated comedy is still on the bubble, and it’s a fun look at life in the far north. Wolf finally lands a place on the local Alaskan survival show, but getting voted out early leads to shame when he gets back home.

What about the last show to check out? The Equalizer remains on the bubble at CBS, so you’ll want to put that one on live. It’s a big episode, as it’s the backdoor pilot for the potential spin-off series, introducing us to the two characters who will lead the series. We meet Samantha, the daughter of a former CIA agent who turns to McCall for help to find her dad.

What about the show to skip? American Idol is going to take up the entire night, so to be able to fit everything else in, you’ll want to put it on via Hulu the following day.
