What's On Tonight (Saturday): I know Elephants' Secrets and, girl, you wouldn't believe

Secrets of the Elephants

Stifle yourself! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, April 22!

Our Top Pick tonight is the finale of Secrets of the Elephants (Disney+, 3 a.m. / National Geographic, 9 & 10 p.m.). Narrated by Natalie Portman, it is the second season of the Secrets Of series, which began with the Emmy-winning Secrets of the Whales in 2021 — one of the best nature docuseries I've ever watched (and I've watched a lot). Each episode focuses on different types of elephants and gives you an intimate and absorbing exploration of their environment, life, and societies. Like whales, elephants are more like us than we previously thought.

Elsewhere, Murdoch turns 250, My Hero finds the hero killer, One Piece will cut a... woman, Food Wars finds a gate, Florida saves its Panther, Hallmark gets a Pinch, and Catchy Comedy goes to the dingbats.
