| Dallas and Robo |
Hi! Tonight's Top Pick is the Syfy premiere of the animated comedy Dallas & Robo, which was originally released in 2018 via YouTube. The series is about space trucker Dallas (Kat Dennings) and her cowboy robot Robo (John Cena) as they travel the universe and get into wacky situations, like the dangers of cannibal bikers, rival space truckers and vending machine burritos. Hey, the girls gotta eat.
Elsewhere, a security guard is accused of the 1996 Olympics bombing, Big City Greens does a flashback, the Tramp helps a blind girl, Jodi Arias gets a followup documentary, Hell Den comes to Syfy, and Cyanide & Happiness is back.

Hell Den (Syfy, 1:12 a.m.): "Hell Den mixes original animation and re-dubbed cartoons in a deliciously warped and hilarious brew of social satire, musical parody, and old-fashioned juvenile humor."
