What's On Tonight (Saturday): Titans of the seven seas

Teen Titans Go!

Good night, John-Boy! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 14!

Our Top Pick tonight is the latest episode of the animated series Teen Titans Go! (Cartoon Network, 7:15 p.m.). The youthful comedy features the DC characters Beast Boy (Greg Cipes), Robin (Scott Menville), Cyborg (Khary Payton), Raven (Tara Strong), and Starfire (Hynden Walch) as they navigate being heroes and teenagers. It is usually entertaining — to varying degrees — and some occasional callbacks to the previous (serious) series Teen Titans, which featured the same voice cast and set-up.

Elsewhere, Amphibia comes to an end, Karen Chee might Lie, there's Love & Marriage in D.C., Selena Gomez isn't ready for primetime, and One Piece has a habit.

STREAMING & EARLY PRIMETIME

📺 Cosmos: A Personal Voyage (YouTube, now): The recent two-season update to this landmark science series has been lackluster to say the least. You can still find the original Carl Sagan-hosted/created series for free in its entirety on YouTube, which while not an official release, I'm sure Sagan wouldn't object to. He wanted people to see it and learn.
