| Great Chocolate Showdown |
Get your sweet on! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 5!
Our top pick tonight is the latest baking competition show Great Chocolate Showdown (The CW, 8 p.m.). If you watch the show and wonder why it is so much like a Food Network competition, it is. But Food Network Canada. If you are looking for some light TV fanfare to satisfy your sweet tooth visually, this is it.
Elsewhere, Bradley Cooper lives a Nightmare, Shenmue gets anime treatment, Milana Vayntrub escapes Werewolves, Riko and Reg go to the Abyss, Jon Bon Jovi is the Frontman, the Black Lotus faces an enemy, and the Straw Hat Pirates reunite.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
