| George Carlin's American Dream |
Yabba dabba doo! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 21!
Our Top Pick tonight is the final part of the Judd Apatow's documentary George Carlin's American Dream (HBO, 8 p.m.). I enjoyed Apatow's Avett Brothers doc and his Garry Shandling doc was stellar. Like the latter, this Carlin doc is airing in two parts with roughly a 4-hour runtime. Tonight's conclusion covers the groundbreaking comedian's last 25-ish years.
Elsewhere, Saturday Night Live caps season 47 with a Breakfast, BBC America has new critter profiles, Lupin is adrift, the Ghost and Molly McGee host a Disney special, the Classroom is determined to save their teacher, and Adam Pally might Lie to You.
