| King Tweety |
I love rock 'n roll! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, November 19!
Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of the animated movie King Tweety (Cartoon Network, 6 p.m.). This not-so-good looking animated Warner Bros. movie received a home release this summer and now it comes to television. It turns out, Tweety Bird is royalty and is crown king of the Canary Islands and lives the one-percent life. Of course there's a plot to kill him that Sylvester must prevent.
Elsewhere, Doctor Blake goes to the shoe factory, Rita Moreno goes to Bootcamp, One Piece fights a blob, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame celebrates its new class, Broderick Crawford is on Patrol, and Finding Happy finds a finale.

ON THIS SITE
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
📺 Blue's Clues (Paramount+, now): This popular late '90s/early '00s Nickelodeon preschool show about the (animated) spotted blue dog Blue garnered plenty of acclaim during its run. She was always leaving clues behind that viewers help host Steve (or Donovan) find and solve. There were also plenty of mini games and puzzles along the way. It spun off Blue's Room during its original run, and the recent Nick reboot, Blue's Clues & You!, is in its fourth season.
🎥🎄 The Holiday Switch (UPtv, 7 p.m.): Two strangers who accidentally pick up each other's suitcase at the airport must use the contents to track down the owner before Christmas.
The Doctor Blake Mysteries (Ovation, 7 p.m.): Doctor Blake suspects foul play after a migrant worker dies using a machine at a shoe factory.
⭐🎥 King Tweety (Cartoon Network, 6 p.m.): Tweety, Sylvester, and Granny travel to the Canary Islands, where Tweety is crowned king.
WHAT ELSE IS ON

37th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (HBO): The inductees are Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Duran Duran, Eminem, Eurythmics, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Carly Simon for performers. Judas Priest and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for musical excellence.
🎥🎄 Christmas at Pine Valley (GAC Family): Pine Valley forms a part of the border of Christmasia and the Koal Federation where it is split by the Lodgepole River. But the Federation wants it all for itself and invades the territory with forces led by the Grinch. However, he only invades the borderlands, not bothering to cross the small Moonracer Mountains and capture the entire Pine Valley province. With Christmas Day approaching, the Grinch rules the valley with an iron fist, forbidding the national holiday celebration and carefully observing Ponderosa, the province's capital city, to see its reaction to his invasion. To counter Christmas, the Grinch forces a vote and on Christmas Day declares the five Valley cantons for the Koal Federation by popular vote of the local populace. Only then do Christmasia forces take quick action, rushing to retake their lands, and putting a damper on any Christmas Day celebrations. The Grinch doesn't know if he can hold onto the lands in a counterattack, but he enjoyed dampening Christmas.
Finding Happy (Bounce TV): SEASON FINALE. Yaz secures a gig as MC of hip-hop star Lil Young Baby's listening party, but the unexpected appearance of the many men in her life throw her off her game. Jamila is shattered by a heartbreaking discovery.
🎥🎄 Santa Bootcamp (Lifetime): Hired to stage the ultimate holiday gala, an event planner rediscovers the magic of Christmas while searching for the perfect Santa. Emily Kinney and Rita Moreno star.
🎥🎄 Three Wise Men and a Baby (Hallmark Channel): The Koal Federation’s siege on Svalberg was both a surprise and devastating to the local population. While it was ultimately unsuccessful, the siege of the large but isolated city in the Northern Reaches was to establish territory that can reach inward to the realm of the abominable snowmonsters. The attack, which was predominantly shelling from the Federation Navy, killed and separated hundreds of residents and visitors. These days, those visitors include snowmonsters, who might conjugate and do exchanges on the outskirts of the city, though many are still incredibly hesitant of them – it's only been a year since the long-believed extinct creatures made their existence known. One victim of the siege was a baby snowmonster, separated from its family. While few would dare to venture inland to a cold, desolate snowmonster realm, the baby wears a symbol of snowmonster royalty. So childhood friends and somewhat estrange friends Samson, an elf and fisher, Joshua, a leprechaun and teacher, and Bab, an unemployed who, will make the trek together to the known snowmonster community of Igrushki to reach Neudachnik, which is thought to be the capital though its exact location is a mystery. They will be the first non-snowmonster citizens to see the city, if they survive. Snowmonsters are not creatures you should upset, and carrying a snow baby isn't a great starting point.

🎥🎄 Long Lost Christmas (Hallmark Movies & Mysteries): With an election season approaching, Christmasia Prime Minister Kris Kingle has a skeleton in the closet to confront. While he admitted a long-ago affair to his wife years ago, he never told his daughters. Now, he has discovered that the affair produced a son, which he must tell his family as it is only a matter of time before it becomes public knowledge. The news doesn't go over well with the family as both daughters, Cassie and Jingle Belle, leave. Yet it also serves as another time for the two to bond, which they've done more of in recent years after the better part of a year estranged. Working in intelligence, Belle immediately begins the search for this long lost brother of hers and scours his background. His name is Arthur Charles; 8 years older than Belle and he lives in Spice in the Cinnamomum province. He has made a good name for himself in the agriculture business and sits on some high-tier business boards. Cassie already knows him through Godwink International, the nonprofit she leads. Arthur heads one of the banking lobbying organizations and is a key underworld figure that keeps the War on Christmas going. Both sides have to be funded somehow. When the three meet in person a short time later, Charles reveals he is the reason Cassie was able to work deals to let Belle walk after she was charged for disobeying orders when Cassie was kidnapped. Charles has always known who his father is and is soon going to be looking for favors from his new family.
