What To Watch Tonight? Today is the 75th Anniversary of the Invasion of Normandy, better known as D-Day. Given the anniversary and the fact that it was a major turning point in WWII and one of the most important events of the 20th Century, the lack of coverage tonight is shocking and appalling to me. Luckily, Nat Geo and Smithsonian Channel have some specials you can watch. Also, the Season 4 premiere of Queen of the South. What are you watching?
