| The Waiting Room |
Look! Up in the sky! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, October 9!
Tonight's Top Pick is the third season of the BET Her series The Waiting Room, which this time will be two short films — It Takes Two and The Party — that follow Black women as they process bad news from the doctor and turn to a story of hope and survival. I know one of tonight's stories is based on a true story.
Elsewhere, Black Clover comes to an end, Frankie Drake searches for a playboy, Lifetimes joins a sorority, Fena reaches Eden, a socialite hosts SNL, and the Yashahime's Black Pearl gets a backstory.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
