What's On Tonight (Saturday): At any moment, somewhere on Earth, something miraculous is happening

A Wild Year on Earth

The facts were these! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, January 30!

Tonight is a little slow, so I am indulging in my love of nature documentaries. This time it's BBC America's A Wild Year on Earth, a BBC Nature docuseries chronicling what happens in the natural world through a calendar year. And it probably has some amazing footage. This week, it's March and April.

Elsewhere, Wendy Williams gets telefilm treatment (*gags*), a vampire murders, E class is on their own, there's a treasure map hustle, Jim hosts SNL [*makes face at camera*] (See note!), Captain Man and Danger Force test one another, Anderson Cooper examines QAnon, and HBO Max orders some pies.
