What's On Tonight (Saturday): Whosoever holds this Hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Reba

Reba McEntire's The Hammer

Meats back on the menu, boys! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, January 7!

Our Top Pick tonight is the television movie Reba McEntire's The Hammer (Lifetime, 8 p.m.). The movie, which sounds a lot like a pilot for a possible film series, stars Reba McEntire as a new "firecracker" judge and whose sister is the key suspect in her predecessor's death. It reunites her with her Reba co-star Margaret Peterman. WB! WB! WB!

Elsewhere, ACL honors Sheryl Crow, Yashahime slays, Mel Gibson goes to Panama, Anya Taylor-Joy dines out, the dead don't sing for Doctor Blake, Nat Geo Wild is Incredible, Naruto returns to Hidden Leaf Village.
