| Janet Jackson. |
Who loves ya, baby! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, January 29!
Our top pick tonight is part two of the documentary Janet Jackson. (A&E / Lifetime, 8 p.m.). The four-hour documentary, which was filmed over the course of five years, offers an intimate view of the life of the R&B/pop singer. The final night examines Janet, who has frequently shunned media spotlight, as a music superstar.
Elsewhere, SNL welcomes a Spidey villain, Jessica Chastain is Tammy Faye Bakker, The CW loves Chocolate, CBS presents an Undeniable Truth, Black Lotus meets her foe, and Assassination Classroom changes study habits.
