Sure, this election is already nightmarishly long, but let’s hear what Frontline has to say

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Tuesday, September 27. All times are Eastern.
Top picks
Frontline (PBS, 9 p.m.): If we’re wrapping up our What’s On Tonight tenure—more on that in a moment—then there’s no damn way we’re not making Frontline the top pick. That’s just what we do. Thankfully, Frontline is actually airing a new episode tonight, saving us from the awkwardness of making the top pick a show that isn’t actually, you know, airing. And this should be an intriguing and/or maddening one, as Frontline has two whole hours to explore this election, profile Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and try to bring some actual insight to what has generally been some pretty awful media coverage of a pretty awful election. Hey, if anyone can do it, it’s Frontline.
Swamp Murders (ID, 10 p.m.): The other, non-wrestling recurring theme of our WOT stewardship has been our horrified disbelief at Investigation Discovery’s endless supply of lurid true-crime shows. So yeah, don’t watch these, but go forth in the knowledge that they exist. Here’s tonight’s Swamp Murders entry: “The murder [of] a 53-year-old woman in Georgia is investigated. The police learn that she had recently received an inheritance and had been involved in a secret affair.” Yeah, this one is going to get dark, even by the standards of a Swamp Murders episode actually titled “Dark Water.”
Mad Max: Fury Road/World Cup Of Hockey: Finals Game One (MovieMax, 9 p.m./ESPN, 8 p.m.) Remember when What’s On Tonight used to throw movie and sports recommendations in the listings? Sure, a nostalgia trip feels a little hard to justify here, given it was only a few months back that we even made the format change, but what the hell! Fury Road is an absolutely incredible movie that admittedly maybe loses a little something in the jump down from theater to TV, while the World Cup of Hockey has been a total blast for everyone except the droopy Team USA, which got bounced in the qualifying round.
SmackDown! SmackDown! SmackDown!
WWE SmackDown Live (USA, 8 p.m.): Avid readers of the Tuesday What’s On Tonight will recall that our attempt to demand a new contract last week backfired spectacularly, and now our WOT-writing career is over if we lose a match against the Undertaker—or, to use his non-wrestling name, fellow TV Clubber Dan Caffrey. Meanwhile, SmackDown reviewer LaToya Ferguson has been watching this show long enough to know that going one-on-one with the Phenom doesn’t generally end well, but we’re feeling good about this. Let’s get this started!
Oh. Oh dear. Dan is not messing around. Um, let’s just slide out of the ring and write a few more listings, then maybe get back into it, shall we?
Premieres and finales
Sweet 15: Quinceañera (TLC, 9 p.m.): If you ever wanted to know what it takes to run Miami’s number one quinceañera party business, well gosh howdy is this ever the show for you. Apparently these are all real things (well, by reality TV standards, at least) that we can expect to see the show’s party-planning protagonists handle this season: “From a bikini photo shoot with an alligator and a Diamonds Are Forever theme, to outrageous and professionally choreographed music videos that include exotic cars and costume changes, and even a photo shoot in Paris with the Eiffel Tower, no request is too big or out of the question.”
