| Would I Lie to You? |
I'm stoked. Whatever that means! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 7!
Our Top Pick tonight is the American adaptation of the British game show Would I Lie to You? (The CW, 8 & 8:30 p.m.). Hosted by Aasif Mandvi, Matt Walsh and Sabrina Jalees are the team captains, each with a couple celebrities trying to convince the other team a story about their past is true. While I have incredibly little exposure to the original, this American version, while casually entertaining, doesn't rope you in. The issue: the stories aren't often that interesting or eccentric.
Elsewhere, NBC inspires, Cumberbitches watch SNL, Amphibia nears its end, Evan Hansen is a bad person, Lupin wants a railway ticket, and Murdoch and company have a merry Christmas.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
