| Frozen Planet II |
Hasenpfeffer Incorporated! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 4!
Our Top Pick tonight is the latest BBC Earth docuseries Frozen Planet II (BBC America, 8 p.m.). While the above gif might be the cutest thing I've ever gif'd — the Pallas's cat (floof!) if you're interested — I don't think it is in tonight's episode. The show follows-up the 2011 series and focuses on new wildlife stories of the far north and south as well as cold places across the rest of the planet.
Elsewhere, Hallmark welcomes back Lovuary (I hate it, too), Doctor Blake suspects bees, Gwen Shamblin diets for Jesus, Yashahime finds a finale, MSNBC profiles Rosa Parks, Peacock is out for Vengeance, and Decades remembers Cindy Williams.
