Mad tooth bar chin-up, box zing outta her hair now! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 4!

Our Top Pick tonight is the latest pilot for a movie series, Buried in Barstow (Lifetime, 8 p.m.). This third Lifetime pilot of the season (following Highway to Heaven and Fallen Angels Murder Club) stars Angie Harmon plays an ex-assassin, who now has a daughter and runs a local diner. As all seems calm, part of her old life returns. Just when she thought she was out, they pull her back in!

Elsewhere, Dumbledore has Secrets, fast kitties have DynastiesNaruto gets extracted, Amber Ruffin and Brooke Shields impractically Lie, the Mouse celebrates monarchy, Luffy fights Hordy, and the Classroom must finally make the difficult decision.

This Weekend in Pop Culture (9:30 p.m.): What pop culture have you consumed lately? This is our weekly thread for you talk about it.

STREAMING & EARLY PRIMETIME

Murdoch Mysteries (Ovation, 7 p.m.): Violet Hart investigates when a protester dies at an event for Black people's rights

📺 Will & Grace (Hulu, now): It's been two years since the quality revival signed-off. You can still revisit the original run that aired during my formative years. The show, about the relationship between gay lawyer (Eric McCormack) and straight interior designer (Debra Messing), loses steam after 5-ish seasons, but always managed to book the best guest stars and could still produce some top notch episodes even in its latter years. Supporting characters Karen (Megan Mullally) and Jack (Sean Hayes) are all over the spectrum of viewer tolerance.

WHAT ELSE IS ON
America's Funniest Home Videos: Animal Edition (National Geographic Wild, 7 p.m.)

🕗 8 P.M. EASTERN / 🕖 7 P.M. CENTRAL

⭐🎥 Buried in Barstow (Lifetime): "A single mother and former hit woman's dark past keeps coming back to haunt her, despite her desire for a quiet life."✔️

🎥 Hidden Gems (Hallmark Channel): While preparing for her sister's wedding, Addie loses her grandmother's ring in the waters of Hawaii. She soon rediscovers her love of the sea when she hires a scuba diver to help her find it. I wish to believe this is tied to Uncut Gems and the Gem Cinematic Universe.

🎥 Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (HBO): In this sequel to a franchise I stopped caring about a long time ago, Albus Dumbledore assigns Newt and his allies with a mission related to the rising power of Grindelwald.✔️

Murdoch Mysteries (Ovation): Murdoch investigates when a Japanese spy is found dead in a Korean family's cellar

Party at the Palace (ABC): SPECIAL. Elton John, Diana Ross, Queen + Adam Lambert, Rod Stewart, and Alicia Keys perform at some big concert to celebrate that one queen who's celebrating 3 score and 10 years. Americans for Monarchy!

Transplant (NBC): Bash's focus is split between the needs of patients in two countries. Dr. Bishop's emergency department goals are met with mixed support.
