What's On Tonight (Saturday): Ahhhh! Shark!

Shark Week 2020

Hi! "Fish are friends, not food" is something that you probably haven't heard on Discovery Channel this week. Yep, it's the network's annual Shark Week. And as usual, the big draw in the shark world remains the great white shark — one is seen in the header gif. While there are four new shark programs tonight, the Top Pick goes to Wicked Sharks, which looks at the rise of great white shark encounters around Cape Cod.

Elsewhere, Toonami spends the night with the Dark Knight, Harley Quinn finds some new teammates, Jo is lonely, Tom Jones sings, and Dallas and Robo are on a space-trucking moon run.

If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the room remains the same, here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 15!
