Good day to you! Unlike Saturdays of the recent past, this one isn't all that slow. The highlight is Dragon Ball Super, which concludes with its 131st episode on Adult Swim, though the series could be found online well before tonight. For anyone who has stuck with the anime branch of the Dragon Ball franchise — and its star, Goku — during its 24 years, this is the 639th episode (not including the movies) and end of the fourth series. That's quite a feat. Non-anime options include a new lineup from Animal Planet, a Gary Gulman special, and a handful of movies that you probably forgot existed. So, quiet in the library! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, October 5!
