What's On Tonight (Saturday): Murdoch inspires silent cinema

Murdoch Mysteries

Just one more thing! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 20!

I am picking a show I've picked before, and it feels odd. But it's Saturday. And there's not many options. And it features silent film stars. Tonight, Murdoch Mysteries returns to Ovation for season 14. Opening the season to the light-hearted, cameo(ish)-filled detective show is the mystery of who is attempting to kill Charlie Chaplin, who's passing through town with other vaudevillians. You will also see a young Stan Laurel and lil Buster Keaton.

Elsewhere, the murder hornets are going to kill us, Side Hustlers search for the Night Milker, Hallmark sees twins, SNL revisits young Britney, Paradis forces begin a fight, Burns confronts Joker and Benimaru, and Devil is trapped on Earth.
