What's On Tonight (Saturday): Let's get Loud

The Loud House (via Giphy)
Hey hey! Top Pick tonight goes to Nickelodeon's animated series The Loud House, which tonight does a quarantine episode where it crosses over with its spinoff The Casagrandes. (I know. I know! I highlight Nickelodeon programs too often. You try regularly finding Saturday night programming worthy of highlighting!) Loud House star Lincoln Loud will video chat with The Casagrandes' Ronnie Anne Santiago. Like every Loud House, which is heavy on family chaos brought on by Lincoln and his 10 sisters. The show is big on diversity and even with nearly 200 segments, as a kids' show, it's pretty good. Elsewhere, Samara Weaving has a bad wedding night, Harley Quinn wants a crew, Frankie gets involved in local politics, Paul Lynde gets a son-in-law, and Black Clover has a flashback. But Hooker's a good cop, here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 23!
