Tuesday on TV: Wish we could escape from the 'Zoo'

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2016, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

On tonight's episode of "Zoo" (8 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2), Mitch and Jamie get caught in the middle of an animal attack at the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C.

Believe it or not, CBS has renewed this terrible show for a third season. Despite the fact that the ratings are middling at best.

Why? Because CBS owns "Zoo," and sells it very successfully around the world. And to Netflix.

Sigh.
