| Blade Runner: Black Lotus |
Drive! Push it to the floor till the engine screams! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, November 13!
Tonight's Top Pick is another anime original from Adult Swim and Crunchroll. Blade Runner: Black Lotus (Adult Swim, midnight) explores a period between the two movies, after the events of Black Out and focused on a female replicant, Elle, created for an unknown purpose. Jessica Henwick voices Elle, and other performers include Samira Wiley, Stephen Root, Josh Duhamel, and Barkhad Abdi.
Elsewhere, SNL has Taylor's version, Side Hustle turns to the dark side, Food Wars prepares an appetizer and main dish, the Christmas movies invasion is here, HBO does a Boogie, Frankie Drake goes to the Cabaret, and Carole Baskin saves big kitties.

🕗 8 P.M. EASTERN / 🕖 7 P.M. CENTRAL
🎥 Boogie (HBO, 8 p.m.): Eddie Huang's Coming-of-age story of Taylor Takahashi, a basketball phenom living in Queens, New York, who dreams of one day playing in the NBA. While his parents pressure him to focus on earning a scholarship to an elite college, he must find a way to navigate a new girlfriend, high school, on-court rivals and the burden of expectation.
🎥🎄 Christmas Time Is Here (GAC Family, 8 p.m.): Not in my book it isn't.
Danger Force (Nickelodeon, 8 p.m.): "After Volt and ShoutOut are kidnapped by Cyborg Rick Twitler, Henry Hart returns from Dystopia in an attempt to save his friends and stop the anti-internet cyborg for good." That is a lot to digest.
🎥 A Mother's Fury (LMN, 8 p.m.): Elizabeth and her husband bask in the glow of being new parents. However, when a kidnapper shatters that happiness, Elizabeth will stop at nothing to find her -- even if the consequences are... deadly.
🎥🎄 My Christmas Family Tree (Hallmark Channel, 8 p.m.): In this documentary, the family tree of Krampus is explored and the extended family that has left his empire for Christmasia. Most of those who left did so upon the overthrow of Knecht Ruprecht, Krampus' cousin, and reinstatement of Krampus. The extended family still kept some contact with the rest of the family, particularly Namahage, which came into play many years later when Krampus' not-quite ex-wife Perchta got their infant son, Ded Moroz, to Christmasia and to be raised by her sister. He is, of course, now a big Christmasia commander, profiled in last year's Swept Up by Christmas. Also noted will be what little is known of Krampus' parents, who lived in an unknown and far off land, and Krampus' first family, which was started soon after the Great Elvish Schism, but their whereabouts remain unknown.
Side Hustle (Nickelodeon, 8:30 p.m.): When an overworked Lex goes to the martial arts dark side, Presley and Munchy must use their top-secret best friend knowledge to take her down and get their friend back.

However, Odbody pays the ultimate price for the victory.
