| Mahalia |
Harry Sullivan is an imbecile! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, April 3!
Last week was rock 'n roll, this week is gospel with the Lifetime movie about Mahalia Jackson. The movie, produced by Robin Roberts, stars Danielle Brooks as the queen of gospel and civil rights activist who received nationwide recognition in the late 1940s. This also completes the WOT's Top Picks Queen Trilogy, something I made up.
Elsewhere, Moses parts the Red Sea, Pit Bulls & Parolees moves to Discovery, Drama Club says no to cell phones, Fire Force has a family dinner, Murdoch is trapped in escape rooms, Side Hustle does a TV commercial, and Zeke's Titan allegiances are investigated.
STREAMING & EARLY PRIMETIME
Murdoch Mysteries (Ovation, 7 p.m.): The Murdochs, Const. Crabtree and Inspector Brackenreid are all lured and trapped in a series of special escape rooms, and forced to play a deadly escalating deathtrap game of riddles.

DeMille's epic masterpiece that tells the story of Moses, an Egyptian prince that later discovers his Hebrew heritage, hears God's call, and engages in a bitter battle with the Pharaoh Ramses to free the Jews from slavery. To say this will run long is an understatement. ABC's runtime will clock in in at 4 hours 44 minutes. (Also, this is the cut that doesn't include Moses dropping commandments 11 to 15.)✔️
