Hello! Hello! Hello! Tonight's Top Pick is not the 300th episode of Live PD. Instead, it is yet another kids show, but it isn't a Nickelodeon show. Baby steps. This time it's on teh Netflix and is the final batch of episodes. Alexa & Katie is about Alexa (Paris Berelc) and Katie (Isabel May, who some might know from Young Sheldon), who try to navigate high school while Alexa is also dealing with a cancer diagnosis. They are surrounded by various family and friends, most notably Tiffani Thiessen as Alexa's mom Lori. The show has an Emmy nomination and was a recipient for a Television Academy Honors.

Elsewhere, Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence Beresford fight crime, Dateline investigates governments responses to COVID-19, BET profiles women of note, the Doctor finds the final Key to Time, Ian McKellen tries to con Helen Mirren, and Dr. Havoc's wife leaves him for his rival. We're the young generation / And we've got something to say, here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 13!

STREAMING & EARLY PRIMETIME

⭐ Alexa & Katie (Netflix, 3 a.m.): SERIES FINALE. The final eight episodes of the third season bring the teen show to an end. Given the premise of two teen friends, one of whom has cancer, I'd assume Alexa will be cancer-free at the end.

Bear Witness, Take Action (YouTube, 6 p.m.): SPECIAL. Hosted by Common and Keke Palmer, this special includes roundtable discussions and panels, live moments, musical tributes — including performances from John Legend and Trey Songz — and more. It aims to inspire and unite key and meaningful voices to create change, heighten awareness and raise funding for racial justice.

Doctor Who 📺 (Retro TV, 6 p.m.): The Key to Time arc concludes with "The Armageddon Factor," where the destructive war between Atrios and Zeos is nearing its end, and the Black Guardians steal the TARDIS.

The Empire Strikes Back 🎥 (TNT, 8 p.m.): The best Star Wars movie. The latter seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars are the only things to rival this one for best in the franchise.✔️

Partners in Crime (Ovation, 7 p.m.): SERIES PREMIERE. Ovation continues its Saturday mysteries with this British import of a Agatha Christie's crime-fighting duo from a few years ago. This is its first time on cable television, though it aired on Acorn back in the day. In 1950s Britain, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford (Jessica Raine and David Walliams) have a chance encounter on a train with an agitated young woman who suddenly disappears and never returns to her seat. (It is not related to the short-lived Lynda Carter-Loni Anderson drama of the 1980s.)✔️

Their Killer Affair 🎥 (Lifetime, 8 p.m.): When several carnal murders in a small beach town are linked to the public release of a discreet dating app's client information, detective Maxine Payton suspects the killer may be someone intimately close to her.

Later, Attica Scott, the only black woman in the Kentucky state legislature, fights to dismantle a system of discrimination against black people penalized for something seemingly innocuous -- their hair.

In a recurring bit, the theme from Circus Boy is heard, the show Micky Dolenz starred in as a kid... and he can't quite pinpoint why the song is so familiar.
