It’s time for another Monday packed with great TV. Don’t miss a beat of everything airing on broadcast networks tonight, Monday, April 21.

The majority of networks have new episodes of their top shows. FOX has a new series as well as a season finale, while NBC has opted for reruns to end the night and ABC continues to air its Hulu series. With so much on, it can be difficult to choose what to watch, but we have you covered with the best options throughout the night.

3 shows to watch and 2 to skip tonight, Monday, April 21

Start the night with FOX. The Extracted season 1 finale will air tonight, and it’s time to see who will go home with the grand prize. We’re still waiting for this series to land a renewal, and the ratings for the finale could make it or break it. There are all sorts of codes to break tonight, including a Morse code one.

After that, stick with the network. A new series premieres, and it’s perfect for the true crime fans. America’s Most Wanted returns with John and Callahan Walsh riding side by side as they uncover some of the biggest and most gripping cases in America. It’s time for viewers to become arm chair detectives again to figure out where the country’s most dangerous fugitives are hiding.

Do make sure you record Poppa’s House for tonight. After the two shows on FOX, you can put on the recorded comedy series. This remains on the bubble at CBS, and it’s getting concerning at this point, especially as the season finale will air next week.

What about the shows to skip? The first on the list is Paradise. You can already watch this series on Hulu, so there’s no need to watch it on broadcast when there are so many other shows on. The other one is Law & Order: SVU, as it’s a rerun on NBC. You can already check the episode on Peacock, so you may as well use the last hour of the night in a more productive way to help the TV shows that still need renewing.
