| The Incredible Dr. Pol |
The doctor is in! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 27!
Our Top Pick tonight is the long-running docuseries The Incredible Dr. Pol (National Geographic Wild, 9 p.m.). The show follows the Dutch-American veterinarian Jan Pol and his practice in rural Michigan where he helps all kinds of critters, both big and small. The show feels not far from a nonfiction and modern take on All Creatures Great and Small with the weekly cases of animals needing assistance.
Elsewhere, Black Love signs off, Lupin goes to Cotornica, the Election is getting Redder, the Year ends in Africa, Bernie will love Bridget, Yashahime searches for peace.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
